    Long a St Moritz, and Swiss Alps, landmark, the 5 star luxury Badrutt’s Palace Hotel is a splendid building and a legendary hotel. Built in the grand, Neo-Gothic style popular in the late 19th century its historical elegance is still very much intact, and has now been wedded with modern facilities and levels of comfort and service that are simply world class. It is very much a hospitality institution, and one of Switzerland’s, and Europe’s, very best luxury hotels.

    THE ACCOMMODATION:

    It has 157 rooms, 37 of which are suites. All are as plush and grand as you would expect and run from 20m2 single rooms to choice 95m2 suites. All the rooms have a view, of either the lake or the mountains, and some also come with balconies. Their grand marble bathrooms are worth a mention too with rainfall showers and old style bathtubs.

    PRICES:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews and more photos – on the booking page here.

    FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO:

    The hotel is enormous, and just wandering around soaking in the old style elegance of the place is a pleasure. You’ll find lounges, bars, boutiques, a nightclub (the extravagant King’s Club), top of the range, eco-friendly, spa facilities, a Kid’s Club and activities for teenagers. Outside in the grounds, in winter, they have a private ice rink and, in summer, two tennis courts.

    Badrutt’s Palace also has a full seven restaurants; three of them, with Swiss and Italian food, are in the homely Chesa Veglia, a restored 17th century farmhouse, which also has two bars and a relaxed, relatively informal atmosphere.

    La Coupole/Matsuhisa@Badrutt`s Palace serves Japanese Peruvian fare in a stylish dining hall in the main building. The more modernist in decor, La Diala serves seasonal Mediterranean while Belle Epoque era glamour can be felt at Le Relais and Le Restaurant’s plush dining halls which also have stunning views of the Alps and Lake St. Moritz.

    In terms of the best fine dining though, IGNIV surely takes the prize. Opened relatively recently by the then double, now triple, Michelin Star winning chef Andreas Caminada, it is fast becoming a culinary institution. You are safe to bring the highest of expectations.

    THE LOCATION:

    Sitting majestically above the crystal clear waters of St. Moritz Lake, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel has a prime location in this famously beautiful town. At 1800 metres above sea level in the middle of the Engadine, one of the most stunning valleys in the Swiss Alps, it has been a mecca for the beau monde for over a century now. Its rare climate ensures an almost perfect mix of snow and sun, it was where winter tourism began over a century ago and it now has a full 350km of pistes.

    It’s not just a ski town though, St. Moritz has evolved into something more: Its grand hotels are legendary, none more so than Badrutt’s Palace, as are its restaurants. Switzerland has the largest concentration of Michelin Starred restaurants in the world and St. Moritz has the highest concentration in Switzerland, with around one in ten boasting the culinary world’s ultimate accolade. You may not find a higher concentration of upscale shopping anywhere else in Europe either.

    To get there there is a small airport in Samedan, 20 minutes from the town, with flights from the international airports of Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Milan, and Munich. Some also choose to come by helicopter. The nicest way to arrive from Zurich though might be via the Glacier Express. It is one of the world’s most scenic rail lines and the trains have top to bottom windows to enjoy the views from.

    SOME HISTORY:

    Johannes Badrutt, 1856, first opened another hotel, then named Engadiner Kulm, now known as the Kulm Hotel. Just four years later the Badrutt’s then bought up the famous Beau Rivage in the town and reshaped it into the Badrutt’s Palace, the hotel we see today, with the official opening being in 1896.

    It was at the forefront of Belle Epoque era, and the birth of winter sports, and over the last century has hosted an extraordinary amount of the world’s richest and most famous. Alfred Hitchcock had a very special connection with Badrutt’s Palace for example; he came to stay time and time again and was reported as saying the magnificent location inspired creativity in him like no place else.

    WHAT OTHER GUESTS SAY:

    “Service, service and service from the moment we arrived until departure. Every interaction with their staff made us feel as if we had known them for years and no request was ever an issue. Simply magnificent….”

    “A truly enchanting hotel. Absolutely stunned from the moment we stepped out of the train station and was transported to the Palace in a Roller. The hotel is truly a Palace, the opulence of the place is just beyond compare. The view of the Swiss Alps from the balcony of our room is just breathtaking. The staff are warm, friendly and very welcoming. They all just try and make you feel at home, nothing is too much to ask….”

    Sankt Gallen

    Switzerland
    Most Famous Residents/Guests: Charles I & Zita, Last Emperors of Austria. The family friendly & pet friendly, Schloss Wartegg/Wartegg Castle Hotel has comfortable accommodation in a lovely setting by the shores of Lake Constance in North Eastern Switzerland. The castle dates back to 1558 and was the birthplace of Zita, the last Empress of Austria & Queen of Hungary, in the 19th century but was extensively renovated in the 1990s. The passage of time had resulted in quite a bit of structural damage and so much of the historical fabric was lost during the renovations. This means that the hotel, including the rooms, now looks quite modern internally, which is something of a pity, but it still does retain a certain historical feel. There is a quality organic restaurant at Schloss Wartegg, a luxurious spa, a fun playground for the kids and 32 acres of English gardens and trees, with woodland paths leading down to the lake. ACCOMMODATION: They have 25 rooms and suites at the hotel, from small singles to large family rooms to sleep up to four in two separate sleeping quarters, and junior suites which have a small lounge area. The rooms are modern and come with READ MORE

    Address: Château Gütsch
    Lucerne
    Luzern
    2004
    Switzerland
    The spectacular Château Gütsch is a Lucerne, Switzerland, landmark  — a fairytale like, 19th century folly castle, it sits high on a hilltop with stunning views over the city and Lake Lucerne. The setting is peaceful and isolated but the hotel has its own historical funicular which runs from 4.30am until 1.15am and so guests can come and go to the city in a matter of minutes. THE ACCOMMODATION: They have a choice of 31 spacious rooms and suites at Chateau Gutsch with the rooms, both doubles and triples, being pretty much identical except for the view. There is an extra premium for the ‘Lake View’ rooms which have those magnificent views over the city and the lake from their windows, while the others have views of the surrounding forest. Then there are the Junior and Deluxe suites both of which are really quite beautiful and, if budget allows, worth the extra. They have those tremendous views too and are lavishly decorated. The Junior suites cover around 40 m², and the Deluxe 73 m², but what makes the deluxe the real show stealers is their huge terrace, 82 m² of it, even larger than the suite itself.

    The Dolder Grand, Zurich

    136.84 km
    Category: 5 Star Castle Hotels, B&B Castle Hotels, Castle Spa Hotels, Family Friendly Castle Stays, Michelin Star Restaurants, and Dog/Pet Friendly Castle Stays
    Address: Kurhausstrasse 65
    Zürich
    Zurich
    8032
    Switzerland
    Most Famous Guests: Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev.  The very exclusive Dolder Grand, long regarded as one of Europe’s best hotels, sits on hill overlooking Zurich, Switzerland, a city in which it is very much an iconic building. It first served as a Curhaus or health spa in the late 19th century and still does today though with much more modern facilities at its 4,000 meter spa. It has two fairly distinct sections, the old, Belle Époque era castle building with its copper topped turrets and the newer (completed 2008) modernist wings on either side. The addition of newer sections to historical hotels is a tricky business and many have made serious blunders with such adventures, but not the Dolder Grand. The new sections are Norman Foster designed, he of the Gherkin & Wembley Stadium in London, and Hearst Tower in New York amongst others, and are a typically elegant, sweeping blend of steel, stone and glass. Both buildings, though over a century apart in style, accentuate each other in an uncommonly aesthetic way. Two other major things to note about the Dolder Grand are its tremendous two Michelin Star restaurant and its extensive private art collection with over 100 works by READ MORE
