Badrutt's Palace Hotel

Palace Hotel in St. Moritz — more recently renamed as Badrutt's Palace Hotel — is an internationally known hotel in St Moritz, Switzerland, famous for its glitz and glamor. It was constructed over four years and opened in 1896 as a successor to the Krup Hause resort hotel which had been the first cold weather winter resort.

It is owned and operated by the same Badrutts family, now in their third generation, who created winter tourism. The most prominent hotel in St. Moritz, royalty, the nouveau riche and idle rich, artists, dignitaries, and performers have stayed at the hotel.

It contains the Le Restaurant which serves French cuisine and others such as the Le Relais restaurant run by Nobuyuki Matsuhisa which serves traditional Japanese with Peruvian influences, the Belle Epoque restaurant and cocktail and sushi bar, the Renaisssance Bar, the 55-seat restaurant Le Bistro run by Frédéric Breuil and created by Italian designer Maurizio Argenti, the Chesa Veglia and the Acapulco snack bar.
