Badrutt's Palace Hotel, Luxury resort hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Badrutt's Palace Hotel is a luxury resort in St. Moritz that offers 112 rooms and 43 suites along with eight restaurants and two bars overlooking the lake and Engadin Valley. The property spans multiple levels and includes a gallery passage with international stores that connects directly to the spa and fitness facilities.

The hotel was founded in 1896 after Caspar Badrutt's son purchased and transformed the Hotel Beau Rivage, setting new standards for Swiss mountain hospitality. This establishment coincided with St. Moritz becoming known as a winter sports destination and retreat for affluent visitors.

The hotel maintains the historic Chesa Veglia house where traditional Swiss cuisine is served in a preserved Alpine building. Visitors experience local food culture in an authentic setting that reflects the character of the region.

The hotel is located in St. Moritz and is easily accessible from the town's main areas. Visitors should note that the region is snowy in winter and sturdy shoes and warm clothing are necessary.

One of the suites bears the founder's name and was completed in 2003, featuring marble bathrooms and views of the surrounding mountains. This room showcases the careful attention to detail and luxury design that has defined the property throughout its history.

Luxury hotels in Switzerland: Alps, lakes, historic palaces

Switzerland holds a range of five-star hotels spread between alpine peaks and lakeshores. In Zermatt, several large properties offer direct views of the Matterhorn, including the Riffelalp Resort at 7300 feet (2222 meters). In cities like Zurich, Geneva and Basel, you find 19th-century buildings often set by the water. The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel has stood on the Rhine since the 12th century. In Lausanne and along Lake Geneva, several palaces face the lake. Hotels in the Bernese Oberland sit in Interlaken, Gstaad and Engelberg, surrounded by mountains and valleys. On Lake Lucerne, the Hotel Schweizerhof in Lucerne and the Park Hotel Vitznau stand right by the shore. The Bürgenstock Hotel perches on a rock ledge above the lake. In Ticino, around Lugano and Locarno, buildings show Mediterranean facades and gardens with palms. Villa Honegg near Ennetbürgen offers a sweep of lake and mountain from its terrace. Most of these houses have restaurants with multiple stars, wine cellars and wellness areas. Some feature indoor and outdoor pools, others historic salons or modern spa facilites. The Suvretta House in St. Moritz and the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina sit above 5600 feet (1700 meters) and are ringed by ski terrain. In Crans-Montana and Gstaad, you find smaller resorts with alpine character.
