Booking Badrutt's Palace — what to know

Badrutt's Palace operates on private bookings — suites, villas and event buyouts rather than walk-in tables — and its winter season runs from 3 December 2026 to 30 March 2027. We arrange stays, long-lunch reservations and private events directly with the management.

How we book it

Send your date, party size and an indicative budget on WhatsApp and we confirm directly with the venue — typically within the hour during the season. Nothing is committed until you approve; if your first choice is full we come back with the closest genuine alternative in St. Moritz, never a downgrade dressed up.

Getting there & timing

Samedan airfield next door takes private aircraft; Zurich is three hours by road or a famously scenic rail ride. The lake-events winter season is the high point. VIP transport — jets, helicopters and chauffeured cars — can be arranged around the booking for guests arriving from overseas.

About Badrutt's Palace

Badrutt's Palace is St. Moritz — the 1896 silhouette above the lake, Le Restaurant's grand dining, and a winter season whose social calendar still runs through its lobby. Suites, tables and King's Social House below: the village's gravity has a single address.

Booking, the OF.luxury way

One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.

Badrutt's Palace for the 2026-27 winter

Badrutt's Palace stands at Via Serlas 27 in St. Moritz Dorf, above the frozen lake. Caspar Badrutt opened it in 1896, and it is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. For the 2026-27 season it opens on 3 December 2026 and closes on 30 March 2027.

Arrival

Engadin Airport at Samedan is about 5 km away. Its 1,800-metre runway sits at 1,707 metres and has no instrument landing system, so arrivals depend on visual conditions. The nearest airports with scheduled flights are Lugano and Milan Malpensa, each roughly 180 km away. Guests arriving by train are met at St. Moritz station.

What is changing this winter

The hotel is part-way through a staged renovation. Champalimaud Design is reworking rooms on several floors, trading room count for larger rooms and suites. Martin Brudnizki's studio has redesigned La Coupole-Matsuhisa, the Japanese-Peruvian restaurant. Giuseppe Porcelli has created a new bar within Le Grand Hall, long known as the living room of St. Moritz.

Dining, families and the slopes

Eleven restaurants operate in winter. They range from the formal Le Restaurant to Chesa Veglia, a separate building nearby with four dining venues and a bar. Chesa Veglia also holds what is described as the smallest restaurant in St. Moritz. King's Social House, in the hotel, takes over for dinner and late nights from Wednesday to Sunday.

Kid's Club Palazzino takes children aged three to twelve daily from 9.30am to 7pm, outside lunch and dinner. The Corviglia ski area is reached by the Chantarella funicular in St. Moritz Dorf, about six minutes' walk from the hotel.
