Perched on a hill overlooking the village of Gstaad in the Bernese Oberland, the Gstaad Palace opened in December 1913 and has remained family-owned by the Scherz family since 1947. The architecture recalls the romantic grandeur of a Swiss château, its towers and timber façades commanding the skyline and confirming its standing amongst Europe’s great mountain hotels. Inside, eighty-plus elegantly appointed rooms and suites frame sweeping Alpine views.
Dining and nightlife form a core part of the hotel’s appeal: there are multiple restaurants including the haute-cuisine “Le Grand Restaurant & La Grande Terrasse” overlooking the mountains, a relaxed rotisserie, and rustic "La Fromagerie" fondue restaurant set in a former gold-bunker. In the evenings the Lobby Bar is an inviting spot to relax and enjoy live music, while the hotel’s long-standing nightclub delivers a sophisticated après-ski and social scene. In the unlikely event you feel the need to venture out, the pedestrianised centre of Gstaad’s pedestrian centre is just a few minutes away by shuttle or taxi.
