A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because the Badrutt family opened their palace above the lake in 1896, made St. Moritz the winter resort of the Belle Époque and have kept the house their own ever since – and it holds five-star standing.
- Opened in 1896 on Via Serlas, in the Dorf above the lake, its tower the mark of the village skyline; independent, owned by the Badrutt family to this day.
- The house that made St. Moritz the winter resort of the Belle Époque; a seasonal house, closed between its winter and its summer – the concierge confirms the dates.
- Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star 2026 for the hotel; holds five-star standing.

The village on its terrace above the lake, at 1,800 meters, with all three hotels. Via Serlas and its shops, the leaning tower of the old church of St. Mauritius and the Segantini Museum stand here; the funicular to Chantarella and Corviglia leaves from the top of the village, the Cresta Run drops beside the Kulm toward Celerina, and the lake below freezes in winter for the polo and the White Turf.
- Via Serlas and its shops, at the door.
- The lake and its winter events, below the terrace.
- The funicular to Corviglia, a few minutes up through the village.
