Grand Hotel Kronenhof, Five-star heritage hotel in Pontresina, Switzerland.
The Grand Hotel Kronenhof is a five-star hotel in the Engadin valley built between 1896 and 1898, overlooking the Roseg Glacier and surrounded by mountain forests. It features 113 rooms and suites across multiple restaurants, recreation facilities, and a spa with specialized wellness zones.
The establishment began in 1848 when Andreas Gredig purchased a small guesthouse, which his son Lorenz later expanded and rebranded. This evolution from a modest inn to a prestigious luxury property shaped the region's tourism development in the 1800s.
The neo-baroque entrance and horseshoe-shaped layout reflect the design ideals of the Belle Époque era, creating a sense of refined elegance throughout the property. Visitors experience this architectural approach as a backdrop that connects them to the luxury travel traditions of past centuries.
The hotel is conveniently located at the edge of Pontresina, making it accessible for visitors exploring the Engadin valley. Guests should note that the area is a winter sports destination and popular hiking hub in summer, so reservations during these peak seasons require early planning.
French architect Pierre-Yves Rochon designed the renovated double rooms and junior suites, blending contemporary comfort with the hotel's historic character. This approach allows guests to enjoy modern amenities while preserving the building's original atmosphere.
