What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Forbes Travel Guide.
Built around a mineral spring, Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains first opened its doors to European high society in 1864.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Signalbahn cable car departs from just across the street, offering direct mountain access minutes from the shores of Lake St. Moritz.
The rooms
Selected rooms open onto private balconies overlooking the Engadine valley, framed by warm wood finishes and double-marble bathrooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A columned indoor pool looks toward the grounds, and a heated outdoor pool steams against the snowy alpine backdrop.
The spa and gym
Alpine-inspired body treatments accompany four distinct saunas, and the wood-floored fitness room looks straight out at the mountains.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Cà d'Oro
Crystal chandeliers illuminate this Michelin-starred salon, where multi-course tasting menus reinterpret Mediterranean and European dishes.
At the table
Les Saisons serves expansive breakfasts beneath grand chandeliers, and the lobby bar pours signature cocktails beside a grand piano.
How it began
Built in 1864 directly over the mineral-rich Mauritius Spring, the palace revived a pilgrimage site known for curative waters since the fourteenth century.
