2026 Winter Season Highlights:
Perched majestically above the crystalline waters of Lake St. Moritz, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel has been synonymous with alpine luxury since opening its doors in 1896. This legendary five-star resort, remains family owned and run, sits amid the breathtaking Engadin Alps and is famed for offering the best service in the world.
The hotel’s position as the sole ski and mountain resort in the World’s 50 Best Hotels main list acts as a significant point of differentiation as the winter season approaches.
