About this hotel
General information
Badrutt’s Palace Hotel is the grand palace hotel of St. Moritz: a building with an unmistakable tower on Via Serlas, in the very centre of the resort, set on the slope above Lake St. Moritz at about 1,830 m. Behind the historic façade lie 163 rooms and suites, wood-panelled public rooms and Le Grand Hall, where afternoon tea is served to live piano music. The hotel opens for two seasons, winter and summer.
Across the street, the old Engadine house Chesa Veglia holds several of the hotel’s restaurants and a bar, while the contemporary Serlas Wing adds 25 rooms and suites finished in oak, natural stone and Loro Piana fabrics, with luxury boutiques on its ground floor. Palace Wellness with indoor and outdoor pools, the hotel’s own ice rink, a kids’ club, a wine cellar of some 30,000 bottles and a team that arranges mountain activities in winter and summer complete the picture.
Location
The hotel stands on Via Serlas in the centre of St. Moritz in the Upper Engadine, overlooking Lake St. Moritz, with the resort’s boutiques on its doorstep. Engadin Airport in Samedan, for private aircraft only, is 6 km away; Zurich Airport is 220 km (about 2.5 hours by car; the train from Zurich takes around 3.5 hours) and Milan about 180 km.

Spa

Two private spa suites — Suite Veronica for couples, with a double Jacuzzi, steam room and double shower, and Suite Iris, with two treatment beds, a soft sauna and a private garden — sit alongside a yoga room, the Palace Coiffeur salon for women and men, and La Diala, a restaurant for light, balanced dishes.
