Kulm Hotel St. Moritz

At 1,856 meters above sea level, the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz surveys the Engadine like a grande dame who has seen it all and remembers every detail. Founded in 1856 by Johannes Badrutt, it sparked winter tourism when he wagered that sunshine could rival summer society. They came, they stayed, and the Alps changed forever. Its turreted silhouette and panoramic terraces frame the lake and jagged peaks with theatrical flair. Inside, polished wood, velvet, and candlelight conjure a mood both alpine and aristocratic. Heads of state, artists, and Olympic dreamers have passed through, yet the true star remains the view.
