Where legendary mountains meet traditional elegance, Gstaad Palace is the Swiss Alps’ oldest emblem of timeless, elegant luxury.
Up in the village of Gstaad, perched high on the German-Swiss mountain range, stands Gstaad Palace, a retreat of European style — where centuries-old traditional heritage is at odds with discreet glamour of celebrities of today’s age. This legendary five-star stronghold has welcomed royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and influencers for over one hundred years, and yet remains unexpectedly intimate.
Inside, velvet sofas and Art Deco ornament redolent of alpine nobility, floor-to-ceiling mountain-view suites suffuse guests in hushed luxury. Revitalisation awaits in the Palace Spa, amongst Europe’s finest, which redefines wellness through private hammams, crystal steam rooms, and award-winning Alpine honey massage. Winter guests ski from the hotel out onto powder-soft Bernese Oberland slopes; summer guests soar above the glaciers by helicopter or dine al fresco on the snow-top peak-watching terrace.
Gastronomy is regal, as well — from Swiss heritage at Le Grill to haute cuisine at the Michelin-starred Sommet, where every meal is a masterpiece. But in addition to its gastronomic masterpieces and gold-leaf furnishings, Gstaad Palace’s greatest magic is atmosphere: timeless harmony of seclusion and hospitality.
For those travellers in pursuit of the quintessence of luxury travel — where heritage, place, and remoteness intersect — Gstaad Palace is not so much a hotel; it’s the alpine heartbeat of heritage.
