Best Hotels in Switzerland
Alpine perfection
Switzerland has been synonymous with luxury hospitality since the grand hotel era of the 19th century, when the Palace hotels of St. Moritz, Lucerne, and the Bernese Oberland were built for the European aristocracy. That tradition endures in the meticulous service, the extraordinary mountain settings, and the timeless elegance of properties like Badrutt's Palace and the Bürgenstock Resort. From the lakeside palaces of Geneva and Lugano to the ski-in ski-out chalets of Verbier and Zermatt, these are the hotels that define what Alpine luxury truly means.
