As snowflakes dance across the frozen expanse of Lake St. Moritz, casting a silvery glow on the Engadin peaks, Suvretta House emerges like a Belle Époque jewel, its grand facade whispering tales of elegance amid the crisp Alpine air. In this cinematic winter tableau, the hotel stands as a sanctuary where luxury meets the untamed beauty of Switzerland's high-altitude haven.
Nestled in the Upper Engadin valley at 1,800 meters, Suvretta House has epitomized Swiss sophistication since its opening in 1912 by visionary hotelier Anton Bon. Now in its 114th year and still family-owned by the Candrian-Bon lineage, it blends historic charm, think original wood paneling, crystal chandeliers, and antique furnishings, with contemporary refinements. Recent milestones include the completion of a transformative spa renovation in late 2025, marking a new chapter in its legacy of refined hospitality. For affluent travelers, this heritage offers not just lodging but an immersion in cultural continuity, where discretion and personalized service cater to collectors and aesthetes seeking solace from the world's clamor.
At the heart of Suvretta House's winter appeal lies the newly unveiled Suvretta Spa, spanning 4,670 square meters across three levels and opened on December 8, 2025. Framed by panoramic views of the Engadin mountains, this wellness oasis redefines serenity with marble-lined pools, saunas, and treatment rooms that harness the restorative power of the Alps. Under the guidance of Spa Manager Raluca Burdusel, whose expertise from Chenot Palace Weggis and Hotel Splendide Royal Lugano ensures bespoke care, guests indulge in therapies featuring premium brands: Swiss-made Cellcosmet for rejuvenating facials and body rituals.
A standout partnership with THE BEAT, Europe's premier Pilates studio, introduces hybrid Reformer classes, private, duet, or small-group sessions led by international trainers, fusing slow resistance training with the spa's ethos of balance and vitality. For cultural insiders, this space transcends mere relaxation, offering a sophisticated blend of science, nature, and exclusivity that aligns with Switzerland's winter tradition of introspective renewal.
Dining at Suvretta House elevates winter's hearty comforts to artistic heights. The Grand Restaurant, with its elegant ambiance and live piano at Anton's Bar, serves regional-international fare like deer Wellington and flambéed Crêpes Suzette, prepared tableside for a theatrical touch. Executive Chef Fabrizio Zanetti extends his vital, health-focused cuisine to the new Spa Lounge, emphasizing nutrient-rich, seasonal ingredients that nourish body and soul post-slope. Off-site alpine outposts like Chasellas and Trutz offer rustic yet refined meals amid the mountains.
Suvretta House's ski-in/ski-out privilege, complete with a private lift to the Corviglia slopes, positions it as St. Moritz's premier winter retreat. Guests glide effortlessly into 350 kilometers of pistes, with on-site ski boutiques and guides tailoring adventures for all levels. Beyond skiing, the hotel's private ice rink invites graceful curling sessions, while snowshoeing trails reveal the serene Engadin wilderness. The season pulses with high-society events: the 41st Snow Polo World Cup in January 2026, White Turf horse racing on the frozen lake in February, and exclusive gatherings like the CfC St. Moritz blockchain conference and the Value Scale Winter Event (January 28–30), drawing global influencers for networking amid luxury. These pursuits capture winter's sophisticated spirit, serene yet vibrant, appealing to aesthetes who value both adventure and refinement.
