Why Stay at Suvretta House
Suvretta House offers a very different interpretation of St. Moritz from the grand hotels positioned around the centre of the village.
Opened in 1912, the hotel sits in the quieter Suvretta area, surrounded by the landscape of the Upper Engadin and with direct access towards the Corviglia mountains.
Its identity is deeply Alpine.
Traditional grand-hotel interiors, extensive mountain views, private ski access, destination dining and substantial wellness facilities combine to create a property that functions as a complete resort rather than simply a place to stay.
For travellers who want skiing, summer landscapes and hotel life to remain closely connected throughout the journey, Suvretta House is one of the most distinctive choices in St. Moritz.
A Traditional Alpine Grand Hotel in Suvretta
Suvretta House was created by hotel pioneer Anton Bon in collaboration with Swiss architect Karl Koller and opened in 1912.
More than a century later, the property remains closely connected with the Bon family heritage and the traditions that have shaped the hotel since its earliest years.
Its position is equally important.
Rather than sitting directly within St. Moritz Dorf, Suvretta House occupies a more secluded setting surrounded by meadows, forests and mountain scenery.
This creates a noticeably different rhythm from the centre of the resort.
Guests can spend the day skiing, hiking or exploring the Engadin and return to an environment that feels more like an Alpine retreat than a city-centre grand hotel.
The Hotel Experience
Rooms and Suites
Suvretta House currently offers 176 rooms and suites.
The accommodation combines classic Alpine styling, understated elegance and views towards either the Engadin lakes and mountains or the Corviglia landscape.
Many rooms and suites can be connected, making the hotel particularly flexible for families and guests travelling together.
The larger accommodations provide a stronger residential experience.
The Tower Suite offers approximately 130 square metres together with a large sun terrace and views across the lakes and mountains.
The Suvretta Privacy Suite looks towards the Corviglia skiing and hiking area, while the Suvretta Suite Deluxe combines a separate bedroom and living space with a substantial terrace overlooking the Engadin landscape.
The most meaningful choice is therefore not simply room category.
Guests can decide according to orientation, mountain or lake views, family configuration, additional space and the degree of privacy required during the stay.
Dining
Dining at Suvretta House reflects both the traditions of the hotel and its connection with the surrounding mountains.
The Grand Restaurant provides the most formal setting, with historic interiors and a style of service closely connected to the property’s grand-hotel heritage.
Its cuisine is led by Executive Chef Fabrizio Zanetti and combines French foundations with an international approach.
Suvretta Stube offers a more relaxed interpretation of the region through Swiss classics and dishes inspired by Graubünden.
The hotel lobby remains another important social space, particularly for afternoon tea and drinks before dinner, while Anton’s Bar provides a more intimate evening atmosphere.
Beyond the main hotel, Suvretta House also operates the mountain restaurants Chasellas and Trutz.
These create a direct connection between the hotel and the wider Alpine landscape, allowing a ski or hiking day to include dining on the mountain rather than requiring a return to St. Moritz.
The New Suvretta Spa
Wellness has become an increasingly important part of the Suvretta House experience.
The new Suvretta Spa extends across more than 4,670 square metres and several levels, making it one of the most substantial wellness environments within the St. Moritz hotel landscape.
The water facilities include a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a heated 17.5-metre outdoor infinity pool, a dedicated children’s pool, Jacuzzi and cold-water experiences.
A broad sauna landscape includes traditional, infrared and herbal sauna experiences together with steam facilities and relaxation areas overlooking the Engadin.
Treatment rooms, a spa lounge, gym, yoga facilities and Pilates complete the wellness programme.
For winter guests, the spa provides a natural place to recover after a day on the mountain.
During summer and autumn, it works equally well alongside hiking, cycling and longer outdoor days across the Engadin.
Winter at Suvretta House
Winter is central to the identity of Suvretta House.
The hotel is genuinely ski-in/ski-out and operates its own private ski lift, providing direct access to the Corviglia ski area.
This is one of the clearest distinctions between Suvretta House and other luxury hotels in St. Moritz.
Guests can organise equipment through the Suvretta Sports Alpine Center, which offers ski and snowboard rental, sales and servicing within the hotel environment.
The direct mountain connection means that a ski day can begin and end at the property without requiring a daily transfer into the centre of St. Moritz.
Winter life extends beyond skiing.
Suvretta House has a long relationship with curling and ice skating and maintains its own winter facilities around the property.
For travellers whose main reason for visiting St. Moritz is time on the mountain, this combination of access and resort infrastructure is particularly significant.
Summer and Autumn at Suvretta House
The character of Suvretta House changes considerably once the winter season ends.
During summer and autumn, the mountain landscape becomes centred on hiking, cycling, golf, wellness and longer days outdoors.
The hotel’s location away from the busiest parts of St. Moritz becomes especially valuable during these months, when the surrounding countryside can be experienced directly from the property.
Mountain restaurants such as Trutz and Chasellas continue to connect the hotel with the wider Engadin landscape, while the spa adds another dimension for travellers combining outdoor activity with wellness.
Suvretta House operates defined seasonal periods rather than remaining open continuously throughout the year.
Travellers planning spring or late-autumn visits should therefore confirm the current hotel calendar before finalising their stay.
Who Suvretta House Suits
Suvretta House is particularly well suited to travellers who want the Alpine environment to be more important than immediate access to the centre of St. Moritz.
Its strongest winter advantage is direct ski access.
For skiing-focused stays, the combination of a private lift, in-house equipment services and immediate connection with Corviglia can simplify the daily programme considerably.
The hotel also works particularly well for families.
Connecting rooms and suites, dedicated children’s facilities and a separate children’s pool within the new spa allow several generations to use the property differently while remaining within the same resort environment.
Couples and longer-stay guests may be equally attracted by the quieter setting, mountain dining and substantial wellness facilities.
Travellers who prioritise shopping, nightlife and immediate access to central St. Moritz may prefer a hotel in Dorf.

Experiencing St. Moritz from Suvretta House
The hotel’s location encourages guests to experience St. Moritz through the mountains first and the village second.
During winter, Corviglia is directly accessible from the property.
In summer and autumn, hiking and mountain activities become the natural extension of the stay.
St. Moritz Dorf, Lake St. Moritz and the surrounding Engadin villages remain easily accessible when guests want to move beyond Suvretta.
A private chauffeur can also open the journey towards more distant areas of the Engadin, including scenic drives, mountain dining and regional experiences that would be difficult to combine efficiently using only local transport.

Private Travel and Chauffeur Service
Suvretta House sits outside the immediate centre of St. Moritz, making private transportation particularly useful for certain parts of the stay.
The journey from Zurich Airport takes approximately two and a half hours by road under normal conditions.
Travellers arriving by private or charter aircraft can use Engadin Airport at Samedan, approximately 8.5 kilometres from the hotel.
Within St. Moritz, the property can arrange transfers to and from the railway station.
Luxury Switzerland can arrange private chauffeur travel for airport arrivals, luggage, ski equipment, regional excursions and onward journeys through Switzerland.
A chauffeur does not necessarily need to remain available throughout the day when skiing directly from the hotel.
Continue Your Journey
St. Moritz can form part of a longer private itinerary through Switzerland and the Alps.
Zurich provides one of the principal international gateways and the most natural major-city connection.
Lucerne creates a transition from the Engadin towards Central Switzerland and its lakes.
To the south, Lugano introduces the Italian-speaking side of Switzerland and a completely different climate and atmosphere.
The rail route towards Zermatt provides another iconic Alpine journey, while private road travel allows other parts of Switzerland to be incorporated according to the wider itinerary.
