El Paradiso is the most prestigious mountain locale in St. Moritz. The famed venue enjoys a distinguished reputation as the favourite slope-side hotspot for generations of St. Moritz jetsetters to spend winter afternoons soaking up the mountain views, sipping champagne and letting their hair down.

Badrutt's Palace will bring its esteemed service, exclusive events, celebrated culinary experiences, and after-hours entertainment to the mountain, while retaining the lively and playful character of the much-loved restaurant. El Paradiso will also welcome guests during the summer seasons for an equally unforgettable culinary mountain experience with views of the sun-drenched Alpine range.

History with the modern spirit

Our story has been written by one family, true pioneers of innovation and luxury. Since 1896, Badrutt’s Palace Hotel remains one of the world’s most legendary hotels – and continuously operated by the Badrutt family.

The hotel opened in 1896 by Caspar Badrutt, with a chateau theme reflecting the romantic era of the “Grand European Tour”. Caspar was the second son of Johannes Badrutt, who himself founded winter tourism in St. Moritz as the result of a bet.

Like his father, Caspar had a strong sense of family and invited his son Hans back to St. Moritz and the hotel in 1898; at the time, Hans was traveling abroad to gain hotel experience. Hans took over the management of the hotel in 1904.

Inheriting the Badrutt pioneering spirit, Hans was courageous. On his travels, he took the Palace name with him far beyond the borders of Europe, establishing the foundations for its fashionable reputation all over the world.

When Hans died in 1953, his wife Helen and eldest son Andrea took over the reins. Helen introduced the “Palace Balls” while Andrea welcomed the American jet-set with open arms. The hotel’s international reputation soared.

In the following years, brothers Andrea and Hansjürg ran the hotel successfully side by side. When Andrea died in 1998, Hansjürg continued, with the support of his wife Anikò.

In 2004, Hansjürg appointed Swiss hotelier Hans Wiedemann as director of the Palace. Hansjürg passed away in 2016. Hans Wiedemann remained at the helm until 2018. Since his retirement, he continues to serve on the board of the hotel.

In 1969, the Acapulco complex opened with a 25-metre infinity indoor pool and an open-air heated outdoor pool (which replaced an older outdoor pool). The indoor pool was designed “to see and be seen”, becoming a catwalk for the rich and famous. In particular, tall beautiful Americans knew how to get noticed; they became synonymous with this new St. Moritz attraction. Between 2008 and 2010, the facility was reimagined, with 70 million Swiss francs invested to create today’s Palace Wellness.

La Diala means “mountain fairy” in Romansh and symbolises a connection to nature. The cuisine is light, smart, and balanced.
