Switzerland’s Alpine Haven

Switzerland is not just adored by the world’s finest for its breathtaking nature and peaceful surroundings, but also for being home to the world’s loftiest hotels offering unparalleled service.

Gstaad Palace ranks number 1 not only on our list, but also on that of the world’s elite, as it has remained one of the last family-owned and operated hotels in the country since 1913, where its guests are treated with the warmth as if extended family members. As a matter of fact, during WWII, the hotel’s two-storey bunker was used by the Swiss government to hide a massive portion of the country’s gold reserve, picked especially since the hotel is located in a secluded mountain area. Today that same space which was used to conceal the country’s gold now features La Fromagerie, with a Champagne truffle fondue on the terrace of the hotel’s renowned Lobby Bar.

It has been a primary destination for many big names from around the world, and remains so as the unique hotel-resort marvelously overlooks the Swiss Alps and still receives the world’s favorite stars and leaders all year round. It may count as the world’s most expensive hotel but it emanates an aroma of serenity and bliss for those seeking a getaway from their hectic lives and those who desire new adventurous experiences.

The Gstaad Palace, along with its multilingual staff, offers its guests several banquet and conference facilities, and an indoor night club called “Green Go”. It has a very children-convenient atmosphere, featuring children’s activities, and during the summer  a tennis camp run by Olympic tennis gold-medal winner Marc Rowe.

The hotel also offers its guests adventures to adrenaline-seeking enthusiasts, including heli-skiing, rafting, ballooning, snow skiing, dog sledding, and hiking. Those who wish to lie low and relax have the option of indulging in the resort’s beauty/anti-aging spa and traditional Hammam experience, plus a wellness/fitness spa with personal trainers, and Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The hotel’s most appealing feature is the Penthouse Suite, also considered the presidential suite, which is the most extravagant suite ever built in an alpine resort. Located on the hotel’s rooftop and only accessible through a private lift, the venue’s largest suite has been recently renovated to hold 3 extravagant bedrooms, along with an expansive lounge and dining area. The Penthouse’s guests also enjoy exclusive access to its unique rooftop terrace which gazes over the stunning mountain views, not to mention the rest of the Penthouse’s gems, including the sauna and the Jacuzzi. It offers guests the golden touch of extravagance with the brush of simplicity needed for them to relax.  Gstaad Palace is the ideal mountain destination for the ultimate getaway.
