The take
The Take
The Vibe
Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains presents as a historic palazzo transplanted to the high Alps: its pale facade and romantic turrets register immediately, and the property reads like an architectural statement as much as a place to stay. The hotel leans into a long tradition of grand alpine hospitality—one that prizes continuity, pedigree and a formal sense of place. Guests experience that pedigree in the fabric of the building and the scale of the public rooms; the hotel feels like a preserved chapter of St. Moritz’s 150‑year resort history, where heritage and ceremonial arrival shape the atmosphere from the first moment.
Best For
This hotel is best for travelers who prize historic grandeur and direct mountain access. As one of St. Moritz’s established grand hotels, it caters to an international, luxury-minded clientele seeking a multi‑night alpine base. Its defining practical advantage—ski‑in/ski‑out access directly opposite the Corviglia cable car—makes it particularly well suited to ski-focused guests who want to eliminate shuttles and lobby logistics. Equally, anyone looking to stay in one of the valley’s oldest, architecturally significant properties will find the Kempinski’s combination of heritage and location compelling.

How It Compares
Kempinski Grand Hotel Des Bains is the practical luxury pick if the stay needs to balance business polish with a special-occasion feel. Badrutt's Palace Hotel is the stronger choice for guests who want the grand St. Moritz social scene, while Suvretta House makes more sense for a quieter, more residential alpine mood.
For value control, The Crystal Hotel and art boutique Hotel Monopol are the sharper cross-shops, especially when the trip is more about location and sleep than a full luxury-hotel day. For a resort-style stay with a different energy, Giardino Mountain is the better comparison.
Booking difficulty is the key practical issue: treat this hotel, Badrutt's Palace Hotel, Suvretta House as early-commitment choices for peak St. Moritz dates. If plans are late or the budget needs discipline, start with The Crystal Hotel or art boutique Hotel Monopol before moving up the luxury ladder.
