Carlton Hotel St. Moritz
St. Moritz, Switzerland · Tschuggen Collection · Apex Luxury
Carlton Hotel St. Moritz was built in 1913 as a winter residence intended for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who never used it due to the outbreak of the First World War. It opened instead as the resort's fifth five-star property, perched on St. Moritz's sunniest south-facing hillside with panoramic views across the Engadin Valley. The Tschuggen Group acquired the hotel and reopened it in 2007 as an all-suite resort, with interiors redesigned by Carlo Rampazzi, and it now houses a two-Michelin-starred outpost of the Cerea family's Da Vittorio restaurant.

History
Built in 1913 as a winter residence for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia (who never used it due to WWI), the Carlton was acquired by the Tschuggen Group and reopened in 2007 as an all-suite winter and summer resort.
The setting
Perched on its own private street, Via Johannes Badrutt 11, on St. Moritz's sunniest south-facing hillside, Carlton Hotel St. Moritz opened in 1913 as the resort's fifth five-star property. Panoramic views sweep the Engadin Valley and surrounding peaks from this elevated perch, with Lake St. Moritz reachable in 10 minutes on foot. The Olympia Bob Run at St. Moritz-Celerina, the world's oldest natural-ice bobsled track and venue of two Winter Olympics, lies 12 minutes away, while the White Turf horse races on the frozen lake are a 20-minute walk. A storied luxury neighbour under half a kilometre away reinforces this hillside's standing as one of the Alps' most concentrated five-star enclaves. 2 km from art exhibits at the Segantini Museum. 7 km from Engadin Airport.
