Suvretta House
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Vibe
Turrets rise over private parkland, where guests glide directly from a dedicated ski lift into grand halls echoing with live piano.
“Belle Époque alpine landmark”
Generational alpine traditions endure through formal grand dining, daily lobby afternoon tea, and a private curling club.
Attentive white-glove service includes private ski lift access, dedicated shuttles, and classic gueridon tableside carving at dinner.
Built in 1912 by architect Karl Koller, the Belle Époque palace showcases fairytale turrets and coffered ceilings.
In private parkland in the Suvretta area, two kilometres from central St. Moritz.
“It retains an old-world air, from the snow-dusted turrets, wood beams, and coffered ceilings to the billiards room, private ice skating rink, oak-paneled bar...”
Rooms
Classic wooden furnishings and rich textiles frame wide mountain vistas, while select bathrooms feature freestanding bathtubs finished in marble.
Wellness
A 25-meter indoor pool looks out through panoramic mountain windows, accompanied by an open-air whirlpool and Finnish saunas.
Backstory
Swiss hotelier Anton Bon opened the property in 1912, and his family has maintained its alpine traditions for over a century.
Eat & drink
Formal tableside carving takes center stage under the Grand Restaurant's coffered ceilings, complemented by rustic fondue in the pine-clad Stube.
The neighborhood
Set in quiet parkland two kilometers outside central St. Moritz, the property borders the hiking trails and slopes of Corviglia.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
