Suvretta House
St. Moritz, Switzerland · Independent · Grand Luxury
Suvretta House opened on 16 December 1912, built by hotelier Anton Bon on a wooded hillside at St. Moritz's western edge, its name meaning house above the woods. It remains the only ski-in, ski-out hotel in St. Moritz with its own private ski lift, a distinction pioneered in 1935 with one of Switzerland's first mechanical lifts. Switzerland's first ski school was founded on the same hillside in 1925, tying the property directly to the origins of organized alpine skiing instruction. The hotel has remained fiercely independent and deliberately secluded from the resort's busier center since Bon's original opening.

History
Opened on 16 December 1912 by Anton Bon, it remains fiercely independent on a wooded perch above the village, a deliberate retreat from the White Turf races and the main resort scrum below.
The setting
Suvretta House presides over Via Chasellas 1 on a wooded hillside at St. Moritz's western edge, where hotelier Anton Bon inaugurated this resort's most secluded grand hotel on 16 December 1912. The name translates as house above the woods, and the property remains the only ski-in, ski-out hotel in St. Moritz with its own private ski lift — a distinction pioneered in 1935 with one of Switzerland's first mechanical lifts. The White Turf horse races on the frozen lake are a 19-minute walk, and a landmark luxury hotel 1.1 kilometres away in St. Moritz Bad anchors the enclave's prestige. Switzerland's first ski school, founded here in 1925, sealed this hillside as the birthplace of organised alpine skiing instruction. 1 km from Via Alpina hiking trails. 2 km from Lake St.
