Suvretta House

Suvretta House raises its green-roofed turrets beside the forest, more than 1,800 metres up in the Upper Engadine.

I come to Suvretta for the hotel’s private ski lift up to the Corviglia. In the evening, though, gentlemen dine in a dark suit and tie at the Grand Restaurant and children are welcome from age 5: with younger children or no jacket, book the Suvretta Stube, which is casual.

Is it for you?

For 2, I take the Suvretta Privacy Suite: the freestanding bath stands in the middle of the bathroom and the shower looks onto the Suvretta slope.

I’d ask for
The Suvretta Privacy Suite.
Worth knowing
The suite faces north-east, towards the Corviglia: for the lake, choose a south-facing Junior Suite.

9 min readHow we write the guide

  1. Connecting doors

    Many rooms and suites have a connecting door to the next room. With older children, ask for connecting rooms instead of a suite.

  2. A visit to the spa

    On the June 2026 day spa list, Gold costs CHF 250, half spendable on treatments or products; above CHF 300 of treatment, entry is included. Admission is only on request, with very few places.

  3. With a dog

    Your dog can stay with you in the lobby and at the Chasellas and Trutz mountain restaurants, inside and on the terrace. It is not allowed in the Suvretta Stube or on the Sun Terrace.

What Suvretta House is

Suvretta House opened on 16 December 1912: the hotelier Anton Bon had imagined it and built it with the Swiss architect Karl Koller. An entirely new spa opened on 5 December 2025. It was designed by the Swiss practice Ritter Schumacher.12

In the guide because I would choose it for a winter in a grand hotel still run by the founder’s descendants.

Distinctions

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Suvretta House’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.

  1. Location

    Guests describe the Engadine views and a quiet hill a few minutes’ drive from the centre of St. Moritz; one writes that the ski lift is just round the corner.

  2. Room

    Most find the rooms spacious, classic in character and finely furnished. One guest describes a very hard bed and 2 single beds instead of a double; another finds the rooms old for the price.

  3. Staff and service

    8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests describe staff who call them by name and attentive service, children included. 2 guests write of rude staff, and another of long waits at teatime, for the menu and then for the order.

  4. Breakfast

    One guest describes a wide choice at breakfast; another finds it good, with dishes to order à la carte as well.

  5. Price

    4 guests write of a high bill for what they receive, up to CHF 5,400 for one night. Another, who came only for tea and cake, finds the price affordable.

47 guests said so on Google, from 14 December 2025 to 18 October 2026. The reviews include visits for tea or for work, without an overnight stay. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. 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:

  • Badrutt's Palace Hotel
  • Kulm Hotel St. Moritz
  • Carlton Hotel St. Moritz
  • Grace La Margna St Moritz

Price: for 2, the night of 7 December 2026, from 837 CHF on Google Hotels on 22 October 2026.
