Le Grand Hall
The hotel calls it the living room of St. Moritz: a light lunch, afternoon tea with sandwiches and tartlets while a pianist plays, then dinner under the coffered ceiling. Dogs are admitted here.
Badrutt’s Palace Hotel
Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, in St. Moritz in the Swiss Engadin: 163 rooms and suites in the towered grand hotel Caspar Badrutt opened in 1896
Badrutt’s suits long lunches and spa afternoons, from CHF 1,260, the lowest price any seller showed on Google for one night for 2 adults; for 29 March 2027 the hotel’s breakfast rate in a village-side Superior Double was also CHF 1,260, with VAT but excluding city tax, read on 8 October 2026. The hotel runs a free shuttle to the ski lifts.

Badrutt’s Palace stands on Via Serlas, the shopping street of St. Moritz Dorf, with the lake below and the railway station 6 to 7 minutes away on foot. Caspar Badrutt opened it on 29 July 1896; the family still owns it, and it opens for 2 seasons a year, winter and summer. The press kit for 2026 counts 163 rooms, 47 of them suites, from a 21 m² single to the 343 m² Tower Penthouse Apartment on the top 3 floors of the tower.
People come for the public rooms as much as the bedrooms. Le Grand Hall, panelled and coffered, serves lunch, afternoon tea with a pianist and dinner; La Coupole – Matsuhisa cooks Nobu Matsuhisa’s Japanese-Peruvian menu in what was a tennis hall; across the street Chesa Veglia, the oldest farmhouse in the village, holds a pizzeria, 3 more restaurants and a bar. Downstairs are a 25-metre indoor pool with a granite diving rock and an outdoor pool rebuilt in 2024, kept warm through the winter.
On the official booking engine the cheapest double started between CHF 1,260 and CHF 2,045 a night across the winter of 2026 to 2027, with breakfast and VAT, and those rooms look at the village: anyone who wants the lake in the window books a category up. Those not staying who come only for a drink are not always seated: in 2025 and 2026 several visitors write of the lobby and a terrace table kept for hotel guests.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Badrutt’s Palace’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

The numbers, and how we count them
| What | Score out of 10 | Guests who mention it | Happy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 8.9 | 134 | 96% |
| Room | 7.6 | 82 | 79% |
| Staff and service | 7.6 | 264 | 74% |
| Breakfast | 7.9 | 36 | 81% |
| Price | – | 49 | 33% |
The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 6 February 2019 to 7 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in St. Moritz: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 8 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in St. Moritz:
- Kulm Hotel St. Moritz
- Carlton Hotel St. Moritz
- Suvretta House
- Grace La Margna St Moritz
Price: for two on the night of 15 March 2027, from 1,260 CHF (seen on Google Hotels on 13 October 2026).
What to expect
A hall where the village takes tea, restaurants on both sides of the street and one on the mountain, 2 pools, a nightclub from 1963 and a club for children.
La Coupole – Matsuhisa
Nobu Matsuhisa’s Japanese-Peruvian cooking, a sushi and cocktail bar and a private room for 10 in the hotel’s former tennis hall, open for dinner. Gault Millau gives it 16 points.
Chesa Veglia
The oldest farmhouse in St. Moritz, the hotel’s since the 1930s, a 2-minute walk away or reached by the tunnel from the Serlas Wing: Pizzeria Heuboden in the hayloft, Patrizier Stuben for Swiss dishes, Grill Chadafö, a fondue room and the Polo Bar.
King’s Social House
A nightclub that first opened in 1963 and came back in 2018 as a restaurant, bar and club under the chef Jason Atherton: bistro dishes first, then DJs until late.
Paradiso, on Corviglia
The hotel’s mountain club and restaurant on the ski slopes above the village, launched for the winter of 2021 to 2022: Alpine dishes, more than 500 wines, a sun terrace and DJs every winter afternoon.
The pools
A 25-metre indoor infinity pool beside a granite rock children dive from, and an outdoor pool the hotel calls the largest in St. Moritz, heated and open from 8am to 8pm, in snow as in sun.
Renaissance Bar
The bar by the fire for a whisky or a cigar from the hotel’s collection. The St. Moritzino, vodka, Cointreau, lemon and orgeat, has been on the list since 1972.
Palazzino Kids Club
Supervised play for children from 3 to 12, from 10am to 8.30pm, free for hotel guests and booked ahead; over-10s have the Palace Arcade, with video games, until 10pm.
Good to know before you book
The hotel opens for 2 seasons a year and closes in between: winter runs from 3 December 2026 to 30 March 2027. Source: badruttspalace.com
The hotel is closed between seasons, as it was on 8 October 2026. The winter season runs from 3 December 2026 to 30 March 2027, and on the official booking calendar read that day no night between 20 December and 4 January could be booked online.
The rate covers more than the room: breakfast, the minibar, the Rolls-Royce to and from the station on request, the pools and the kids’ club, and VAT. City tax of CHF 5 a person a night is extra, and over the festive period a dinner credit, the former half board, is compulsory from the age of 12.
Which side you sleep on matters. Lake-view rooms cost more; the Superior rooms face the village, and the site gives the Superior Double as 25 m² on one line and 323 square feet, which is 30 m², on the next.
You cannot ski to the door. The funicular to Chantarella and Corviglia is 5 to 9 minutes away on foot, the Signalbahn 4 minutes by car, and the hotel runs a free shuttle to the lifts; a ski shop and rental are in the building.
Non-residents are not always let in. Visitors in 2025 and 2026 write of the lobby and a terrace table kept for hotel guests, and of a dress code at the bar that the pages read do not publish. The official site does say the spa takes outside guests only when there is room.
Rooms and suites, 21 to 343 m²

Questions before you go
What people ask before booking Badrutt’s Palace, answered from sources read on 8 October 2026.
What kind of hotel is Badrutt’s Palace?
A 5-star grand hotel in St. Moritz Dorf, at 1,830 metres, opened by Caspar Badrutt on 29 July 1896 and still owned by the Badrutt family, according to the press kit for 2026 and Swiss Historic Hotels. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and Swiss Deluxe Hotels, holds Three Keys in the MICHELIN Guide, and its newest part, the Serlas Wing by ACPV Architects with Loro Piana Interiors, opened in 2025.
The room count depends on who is counting: 163, of which 47 suites, in the press kit and at Swiss Deluxe Hotels; 163 in winter and 130 in summer at Swiss Historic Hotels; 157 in the MICHELIN Guide and 155 on Expedia.
What rooms are there, and how big are they?
18 types on the official rooms and suites pages. In the historic house the rooms run from the 21 m² single and the 25 m² Superior Double, both on the village side, through the Deluxe at 34 m² with a lake view or 37 m² over the village, to the 38 m² Signature with a balcony on the lake. The suites go from the Junior at 45 to 55 m² to the Hans Badrutt at 174 m² and the 4-bedroom Tower Penthouse Apartment at 343 m².
The Serlas Wing adds 25 rooms and suites of its own, from the 44 m² Serlas Room to the 159 m² 2-bedroom suite, and the booking engine lists them with air conditioning. The site’s own figures do not always agree: the Superior Double is 25 m² and 323 square feet on the same page, and 30 m² on the booking engine.
Where is it, and what is around it?
At Via Serlas 27, on the street of the luxury shops in St. Moritz Dorf, with Lake St. Moritz below. The station is 6 to 7 minutes on foot (515 m), the funicular to Chantarella and Corviglia 5 to 9 minutes on foot (338 m), the hotel’s restaurants at Chesa Veglia 1 to 2 minutes on foot (149 m) and the Segantini Museum 13 to 14 minutes on foot (968 m), measured on OpenStreetMap on 8 October 2026.
The hotel’s shopping page counts Cartier, Dior, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu and Bulgari among the shops on its doorstep, and the gallery Hauser & Wirth. Booking.com puts the lake 984 feet away, about 300 metres.
How do you get to Badrutt’s Palace?
Most simply by train: St. Moritz station is 6 to 7 minutes on foot (515 m) from the hotel, and the official terms include a Rolls-Royce transfer between the 2 on request. The press kit gives 3.5 hours by rail from Zurich.
By road Zurich airport is 220 km and Milan Malpensa 190 km. The press kit and the MICHELIN Guide say 2.5 hours from Zurich; on OpenStreetMap’s roads the 2 routing engines give 200 to 203 minutes from Zurich and 189 to 247 from Malpensa, on clear roads. Private aircraft use Samedan, 7.8 km, 10 to 14 minutes by car.
Is there parking, and what does it cost?
Yes, with a valet. The official terms publish a summer tariff only: CHF 50 a day for a place indoors and CHF 35 outdoors. No winter figure appears on the pages read.
The hotel does not publish a winter parking price: its official terms, read again on 15 October 2026, give only the summer tariff.
Can you ski from the hotel?
No. The nearest lift is the funicular from St. Moritz Dorf to Chantarella and Corviglia, 5 to 9 minutes on foot (338 m); the Signalbahn in St. Moritz Bad is 1.9 km, 4 minutes by car and the Corvatsch cable car at Surlej 8.1 km, 16 to 19 minutes by car. The hotel’s activities page puts the slopes 5 to 20 minutes away and promises a free shuttle to the cable car, with a ski shop and rental inside the hotel.
A ski pass is in the rate from 18 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 and otherwise sold at a reduced price, CHF 45 on the Stay Longer page. Booking.com describes a free shuttle to the Corvatsch cable car «1640 feet away»: the valley station is 8.1 km by road.
Is the hotel on the water?
There is no sea here: St. Moritz is in the Engadin valley, 1,830 metres up. The hotel stands above Lake St. Moritz, which Booking.com puts 984 feet away, and its summer programme lists sailing and stand-up paddling on the valley’s lakes 5 to 10 minutes away, windsurfing and kitesurfing on Lake Silvaplana.
In winter the lake freezes: the winter activities page offers skijoring across it, on skis behind a galloping horse, and reviewers mention coming for the White Turf races and the snow polo.
What are the pools like?
There are 2, plus a Jacuzzi. The pools page describes a 25-metre indoor infinity pool beside a granite rock, and an open-air pool; the about page calls the outdoor one, rebuilt in 2024, the largest outdoor pool in St. Moritz. The wellness brochure names it an outdoor vitality pool with hydrojets.
A guest in January 2026 gives the indoor pool as 4 metres deep. Booking.com also lists a pool bar.
Are the pools heated, and when are they open?
Both are open daily from 8am to 8pm, and the outdoor pool is heated: the winter page invites guests to swim outside while it snows, and the about page says its heat is drawn from the water of Lake St. Moritz. No temperature is published. Since the hotel shuts between seasons, the pools are closed with it in spring and autumn.
Where do you eat, and is there half board?
The official site lists 11 restaurants in winter. In the main house: Le Restaurant for the breakfast buffet, Le Grand Hall for lunch, tea and dinner, La Coupole – Matsuhisa and the Belle Époque Le Relais for dinner, La Diala by the spa and King’s Social House. At Chesa Veglia: Pizzeria Heuboden, Patrizier Stuben, Grill Chadafö and Carigiet Fondue Stübli. On Corviglia: Paradiso. The press kit counts 8 restaurants and one bar in summer.
Breakfast is in every rate. Half board is now a dinner credit the terms call Culinary Delight: in winter CHF 160 an adult a day at Le Relais or Le Restaurant, or CHF 100 at Matsuhisa, Chesa Veglia, King’s Social House, La Diala and room service, drinks excluded; in summer CHF 100 a day anywhere. It is compulsory over the festive period for guests of 12 and over.
On 8 October 2026 every restaurant page read «Winter reservations are currently unavailable», and the Polo Bar and Renaissance Bar cannot be booked online. A reviewer in December 2025 still places IGNIV at the hotel: the restaurant, which the press kit records from 2016, is not among the 11 on the site today.
What is the spa like?
Palace Wellness was rebuilt between 2008 and 2010 for more than CHF 70 million, says the about page. The brochure for winter 2026 lists its wet zone: a ladies-only sauna at 55 °C, a mixed sauna at 85 °C, a salt steam room at 40 °C and an aroma steam room at 45 °C, a mist room, an ice room, a rain shower and a relaxation room, besides the pools, an indoor Jacuzzi, a gym and a body and mind studio.
Neither the site nor the brochure gives its floor area. Apart from the ladies’ sauna the heat rooms are mixed and clothing is optional there; they and the gym are for guests of 16 and over. There are 2 private spa suites, Veronica and Iris, and a hairdresser, the Palace Coiffeur.
Is the spa included, and can outside guests use it?
For hotel guests the pools and the wellness area are in the rate, as the terms and each booking-engine rate state; treatments and the private suites are paid for. Hotel guests do not need a day pass.
For anyone else the spa’s own page says Palace Wellness is kept mainly for residents: outside guests are welcome only when there is space and with a reservation, on +41 81 837 28 51, and access can be restricted when the hotel is full. It publishes no day-pass price.
What are the spa, pool and gym hours?
Pool and wet zone from 8am to 8pm, treatments from 10am to 8pm, and the gym 24 hours for hotel guests, according to the wellness brochure and the fitness page. A treatment changed or cancelled needs 24 hours’ notice.
Which treatments are there, and at what prices?
Prices in the brochure for winter 2026, in francs with VAT: the hot-stone, deep-tissue and Thai massages cost CHF 260 for 50 minutes and CHF 350 for 80, the relaxation massage CHF 240 for 50; Dr. Burgener facials run from CHF 190 for the 30-minute express to CHF 490 for 80 minutes, and Biologique Recherche facials start at CHF 350 for 50 minutes.
A private spa suite is CHF 650 for 2 hours in Veronica, with a double Jacuzzi and steam room, or CHF 900 for 3 hours in Iris, with a garden and a sauna, treatments extra. A children’s massage for ages 6 to 12 is CHF 110 for 20 minutes.
Is it a hotel for children?
Yes. The Palazzino Kids Club looks after children from 3 to 12 between 10am and 8.30pm, free for hotel guests and reserved in advance, with under-3s admitted alongside an adult; the Palace Arcade is for over-10s. The breakfast buffet has a children’s section.
Under the terms a child of 5 or under has a cot or rollaway free in the parents’ room and one of 6 to 11 pays half the rollaway charge, which is CHF 220 a day and CHF 276 from 26 December to 1 January; a third bed fits from the Deluxe category up. Expedia quotes cots at CHF 110 a day, and the MICHELIN Guide the same sum for a child of 6 to 11.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes. Since the winter of 2025 to 2026 the terms welcome pets in the bedrooms, in Le Grand Hall and at Chesa Veglia, at CHF 55 a pet a day without food. Expedia still shows CHF 45, and the booking engine marks every room type pet friendly.
What else does the hotel have?
An ice rink in winter, with skates at CHF 30 and curling at CHF 50 a person; a tennis court and a padel court in summer; a yoga room, a hairdresser, the kids’ club and the arcade; and a wine cellar of 30,000 bottles with the Krug Stübli for private dinners, according to the site and the brochure.
The press kit lists the shops of the Palace Galerie, from Bulgari to Louis Vuitton, banqueting rooms for 10 to 340 people, and a staff of 680 in winter and 400 in summer. Rooms have Wi-Fi and a minibar in the rate, and Google Hotels lists lifts and accessible parking.
Are there any offers?
2 on the official packages page. Stay Longer takes 10% off the Best Flexible Rate for 5 or 6 nights and 15% for 7 or more. The Luxury Ski Break, for 3 or 5 nights between 3 December 2026 and 30 March 2027, adds the ski pass to breakfast and the usual inclusions and can be cancelled free up to 5 days before arrival; no price is printed.
Members of Leaders Club, the Leading Hotels programme, see a rate 5% lower on the booking engine after logging in.
Can you get married at Badrutt’s Palace?
Yes: the weddings page offers civil ceremonies and receptions with a planning team, in rooms such as the Embassy Ballroom beside Le Grand Hall, the book-lined Madonna Room, the 2 Verandas over the lake, Le Restaurant and Le Relais. The press kit gives the banqueting rooms a range of 10 to 340 guests, and the Iris spa suite has a hair and make-up station for the bride.
No package or price is published. A couple married there in March 2026 describe the weekend on Google in the warmest terms.
What happens on New Year’s Eve?
It is the hotel’s biggest night. The press kit calls New Year’s Eve the queen of all its parties, with themed decorations worth almost CHF 1 million and costume parties, and the terms make the dinner credit compulsory over the festive period and raise the extra-bed charge from 26 December to 1 January.
No menu or price for the gala is on the pages read, and separate conditions apply to the festive season of 2026 to 2027. On the official booking calendar, read on 8 October 2026, no night from 20 December to 4 January could be reserved online.
Is there golf?
Not at the hotel and not as a package. The summer activities page sends golfers to the Engadin Golf Club, which it calls Switzerland’s oldest course, with two 18-hole courses at Samedan and Zuoz-Madulain 10 to 20 minutes away and clubs to hire there.
When is Badrutt’s Palace open?
Twice a year. The official site gives the winter season as 3 December 2026 to 30 March 2027 and the last summer as 5 June to 7 September 2026; on 8 October 2026 the hotel was closed. Expedia says the same: closed between 7 September and 3 December.
The booking calendar, read that day, sells its first night on 3 December 2026 and its last on 29 March 2027, with 30 March for check-out only. It already shows the summer of 2027, from the night of 6 June to that of 5 September, nearly always with a 2-night minimum, although the site has not announced those dates.
How much does a night at Badrutt’s Palace cost?
On the official booking engine, read on 8 October 2026, for 2 adults and one night in the cheapest room, the Superior Double on the village side, the Breakfast Inclusive rate was CHF 1,416 on 3 December 2026, the first night of the winter, CHF 1,743 on 8 and 16 December, CHF 2,045 on 6 January 2027, CHF 2,010 on 2 February, CHF 1,727 on 10 March and CHF 1,260 on 29 March, the last. It includes breakfast and VAT; city tax of CHF 5 a person a night is added. Google Hotels, read the same day in francs for Switzerland, showed the same amounts on 3, 8 and 16 December and 6 January, and CHF 3,040 for 18 December; its card named no seller and did not say what the amounts include.
The first figure the engine shows is lower because it is the Leaders Club members’ rate, 5% less and behind a log-in. For the summer of 2027 it asked for at least 2 nights on the dates read: CHF 1,200 a night from 13 to 15 July and CHF 1,430 a night from 18 to 20 August, on the same terms.
Google’s calendar priced 28 of the 115 nights to the end of January, all between 3 and 18 December and between 5 and 20 January. The hotel’s own calendar explains the gaps: nothing bookable online from 20 December to 4 January, and minimum stays of up to 7 nights in early February.
What do the reviews say?
On 8 October 2026 Google showed 4.7/5 from 1,371 reviews, Tripadvisor 4.8/5 from 1,137, with a 2026 Travellers’ Choice award and 4.4 for value, Booking.com 9.2/10 from 104, with location at 9.6, Expedia 9.6/10 from 102, and the MICHELIN Guide 19.7 out of 20 from its own guests.
Guests praise the staff, the pools, breakfast and the arrival by Rolls-Royce.
