First class, beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The staff on arrival and departure were great as was the concierge. The pool was the best I’ve ever seen at a hotel Highly recommend. Hotel also provided us free transportation to and from the train station and to restaurants on a moments notice with a smile on their face……. Outstanding service.

Badrutts Palace is the epitome of the iconic old Europe luxury historic hotels! She is regal and beautiful, maintaining all of her historic pride and opulence but delivering an unmatched service level and modern conveniences. She holds one of the most photogenic spots in St. Moritz, and sitting on the back patio or living room, is like being in a fairy tale. Loved our room, ability to access town with short walks, great food, and appreciated the shuttle service to the train station. A must while here is the Bernini Express train. We did the historic Pullman open air car, with the stop at the winery. Fabulous! This is an experience, not just a stay! Well done Badrutt’s!

This hotel is as outstanding as I had remembered. Everything about it is superb—the staff, location, bedrooms, facilities, and food. The staff is very kind, helpful and most professional. The amenities are of the best quality. I highly recommend this famous and classic property. This is what the traveler wishes for! Thank you for making our stay so,enjoyable.

The hotel is majestic. One of the most iconic views on the Alps. Amazing service from the concierge to the housekeeping to the breakfast, spa etc. The quality of food is top. I only had the bad experience to go away from the indoor pool after 10 minutes since full of kids making noise, screaming and diving from the rock. I understand there are families but they should have a dedicated area like the playroom . Some customers like relax, silence.

The Best Hotel I've Ever Stayed In I've been fortunate enough to stay in many five-star hotels around the world, including some incredible luxury suites, but Badrutt's Palace is genuinely the best hotel I've ever experienced. From the moment we arrived at St. Moritz station, the experience was exceptional. We were greeted on the platform by impeccably dressed chauffeurs, who took care of our luggage before driving us the short distance to the hotel in a complimentary Rolls-Royce. It immediately set the tone for what was to come. Check-in was effortless, warm and welcoming. The team gave us excellent recommendations for lunch and things to do during our stay, making us feel looked after from the very beginning. We stayed in a top-floor suite, and it was simply breathtaking. The hotel perfectly blends traditional old-world charm with beautifully designed contemporary rooms. It was one of the finest hotel suites I've ever stayed in. One thing that really stood out was the value. Yes, it's a luxury hotel, but unlike many places where you pay a premium only to find endless extras being charged, Badrutt's Palace makes you feel like you're genuinely getting what you've paid for. So many thoughtful touches and amenities in the room were complimentary, and it created a real sense of generosity rather than constantly being asked to pay more. The facilities are exactly what you'd expect from a true world-class five-star hotel. The swimming pool is incredible, with breathtaking views over the mountains and lake. Sitting on the terrace with a drink, taking in that scenery, is something I'll never forget. Although our stay was only short, every single member of staff we encountered was outstanding—professional, friendly, attentive and genuinely passionate about providing exceptional service. I don't say this lightly, but this is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. It's one of those rare places where every detail is done to perfection. I would happily travel all the way back into the Swiss Alps just to stay here again. Absolutely faultless. If you're considering staying at Badrutt's Palace, don't hesitate—you won't regret it.

Badrutt’s Palace in St. Moritz...one of the Grand Old hotels of Europe! Our excellent treatment as first-time guests speaks very highly of the property. I bow to the ladies and gentlemen of the hotel and look forward to spending Easter with them.
