The Carlton Hotel St. Moritz opened in 1913, rumored to have been originally planned as a summer residence for Tsar Nicholas II. This historic Swiss landmark took a bold leap forward when eccentric interior designer Carlo Rampazzi completely reimagined its interiors.

A brilliant architectural layout ensures that every single one of the 60 suites faces south, giving guests an uninterrupted view of the spectacular Swiss Alps and Lake St. Moritz.
Beyond its design, the property features a massive three-story spa and the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Da Vittorio. It sits just a short walk from the town center and the prestigious Via Serlas shopping street.

The Grand Hotel Kronenhof, located just minutes from the glitz of St. Moritz in Pontresina, is a masterpiece of Neo-Baroque architecture that originally opened in 1848 as a modest three-room inn. To survive the lean years of both World Wars, the enterprising owners relied on an in-house wine shop, using horses to haul Veltliner wine across the treacherous Bernina Pass. Between 1896 and 1898, architects Jakob and Georg Ragaz expanded the property into its iconic horseshoe layout, complete with a grand courtyard and a crowned dome.
Inside, the hotel boasts stunning 1901 ceiling frescoes by Otto Haberer depicting the four seasons, alongside a masterful modern redesign of its public spaces by renowned French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Guests enjoy views of the Roseg Glacier and easy access to local culture, including the Alpine Museum and the 12th-century Santa Maria church. The property even features its own historic wooden ice pavilion and a massive, award-winning subterranean spa.
