Overlooking the lake and the Engadine Valley, with its instantly recognisable Neo-Gothic architecture: the Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, opened in 1896 by Caspar Badrutt, is the establishment that pioneered Alpine winter tourism. Five generations later, the St. Moritz grand hotel remains Europe’s benchmark for high-altitude luxury · 155 rooms and suites, nine restaurants, and a history intertwined with that of the resort itself.
IGNIV by Andreas Caminada, ⭐⭐ Michelin
At the heart of the grand hotel, Chef Andreas Caminada‘s (3 Michelin stars at Schauenstein) IGNIV restaurant offers a ‘fine dining sharing’ concept: everything is served in dishes to be passed around among guests. Awarded two Michelin stars, the cuisine is both precise and convivial, presented within a contemporary design setting. **The sharing concept makes for a unique dining experience.**
Winter and Summer Seasons Only
Like most Swiss Alpine grand hotels, Badrutt’s operates during two seasons: June-September (Alpine summer, hiking, lakes) and December-April (skiing). During the off-season, the grand hotel closes for refurbishment and preparation. This seasonality is part of its DNA: no mass-market tourists, no overcrowding. **This commitment ensures an exclusive and tranquil experience.**
2,800 m² Spa and Tennis
The Palace spa offers an indoor infinity pool with lake views, a hammam, sauna, and signature treatments. The grand hotel’s private tennis club, one of the few indoor facilities in Engadine, hosts Roger Federer Foundation training camps during the summer. **Guests can enjoy world-class facilities amidst stunning Alpine scenery.**
