About this hotel
Badrutt's Palace Hotel is an independent luxury property that has anchored St. Moritz in the Engadin Valley since 1896, making it one of the Alps' oldest continuously operating grand hotels. The Belle Époque architecture and interiors define the character of the resort, which serves as both a destination for winter sports and a year-round retreat. The property earned a place on the Fifty Best World's 50 Best Hotels list in 2026, recognition that reflects its sustained reputation for service and design. Guests—many regulars across generations—expect traditional Alpine elegance paired with contemporary comfort, and the hotel's longevity speaks to its ability to refresh without losing its identity. St. Moritz itself attracts affluent travellers year-round, from winter skiers to summer hikers, and Badrutt's position at the town centre makes it accessible to both the slopes and the lake.
