Schweizerhof St. Moritz – The classic hotel in the heart of the Engadine

This post is also available in: Deutsch (German)

The Hotel Schweizerhof in St. Moritz is a true true Hotel classic . For over 120 years, it welcomes its guests. With a particularly central location in the center of St. Moritz, the hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the Chantarella funicular, which provides easy access to the St. Moritz ski area.

But even for those who do not ski the hotel is ideal. Once across the street and you can stroll comfortably in the middle of shops and shopping. The guests of the hotel are like the hotel team international. We experienced our stay in a splendid, harmonious-multicultural atmosphere.

We thought of it as a modern hotel culture in Belle Epoque ambience. The belle époque refers to the period of about 30 years around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Our room at Schweizerhof

We stayed in a room with lake view. It offers a breathtaking view, no matter what time of day or weather conditions. From our room you could even see a race of the legendary White Turf. Also on the Poloplatz on the lake the week before, the Snow Polo , the view is top notch.

Although the hotel is over 120 years old, it is well insulated and very quiet. Comfortable beds and underfloor heating in the bathroom also provide a feel-good atmosphere.

Unique features of the Schweizerhof

Every Saturday it says: “Arrive during the holidays”. From 19:00 Hotel Director Habersaat personally welcomes guests to the Welcome Aperitif in the hotel lobby.

Every Sunday between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, kitchen whisper is announced. The chef and his team invite you to informative and sociable kitchen fun and show their everyday kitchen life. It started with a glass of Prosecco and pizza corners. The team had already prepared a lot. This use the hotel guests for in-depth questions. This allowed us to elicit little tricks from the pros. Finally, we were spoiled with a goodie bag.

Every night the pianist Renato Falerni created a wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed these moments of tranquility with a cocktail in front of the open fireplace.

Great praise must also be given to the parking service. With every car, a foil is placed over the windshield and the vehicle is freed from the snow on a regular basis. One meter of fresh snow overnight, as we experienced it, a true luxury.

Restaurant Acla

The Acla is of modern in design. Through the large windows penetrates a lot of light and so can wonderful watching the bustle on the street.

Small homemade delicacies await the guest here. The crisp Salad variations, classic soups and fantastic Pasta and pizza inspired us. We always noticed the proximity to Italy.

But also the signature burger of the house and especially the club sandwich were 100% convincing. It is also said that you can recognize a good kitchen sandwich basically a good kitchen, as it is absolutely the case here!
