Gstaad Palace: A Fairy-Tale Castle Above the Village

Gstaad Palace has crowned a hill above the chalet village of Gstaad since 1913, its landmark tower one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the Bernese Oberland. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader owned and run by the same family across three generations, it pairs old-world grandeur with the après-ski glamour of the GreenGo nightclub and a storied summer pool.

The dining, overseen by culinary director Franz W. Faeh, is generous. Le Grill is a gourmet rôtisserie awarded 16 Gault Millau points; Le Grand Restaurant serves haute cuisine against a mountain panorama; La Fromagerie pours fondue in a former wartime bank bunker; Gildo's brings Italian warmth; and the PISCINE bar channels the Côte d'Azur in summer.

For a grand, glamorous Alpine stay, Gstaad Palace is a benchmark.
