Iconic Luxury

Badrutt's Palace Hotel

5★ Hotel · St. Moritz Dorf · 200m to Corviglia funicular

{{#times stars}} {{/times}}

The most famous hotel in the Alps. Opened 1896, hosted royalty and celebrities ever since. The building is spectacular, service is white-glove, the spa is world-class. You're paying for *history* and *exclusivity*. The brutal reality: rooms are dated (they haven't been renovated much since the 1980s), and at CHF 900+ per night, you get 28m² and furniture your grandmother would find old-fashioned. The half-board food is mediocre for this price. You're paying to say you stayed at Badrutt's, not for value.

Our Pick

Hotel Steffani

4★ Hotel · St. Moritz Dorf · 250m to Corviglia funicular

{{#times stars}} {{/times}}

The smart choice in St. Moritz. Right in the centre of Dorf, 5 minutes' walk to Corviglia funicular, good spa, excellent restaurant. The building has character (opened 1869) but has been renovated. It's where locals take their visiting parents — quality without the Palace insanity. The downsides: it's still expensive (£380-620/night for 4★), rooms facing the main street get traffic noise, and the spa gets busy at 5pm. But it's the best balance in town.

Best Value

Hotel Hauser

3★ Hotel · St. Moritz Bad · 150m to Signal cable car

{{#times stars}} {{/times}}

The 'affordable' option in St. Moritz (which is relative). You're in St. Moritz Bad, 2 minutes from Signal cable car. The hotel is modern-ish, clean, has a small spa. Breakfast is included. The catch: Bad is the 'unfashionable' part of St. Moritz — it's where budget tourists and families stay. You're 15 mins walk from Dorf (the glamorous centre) and the nightlife. The hotel itself is functional but soulless. And you're still paying £220-350/night for a 3★. But it's cheaper than Dorf.

Budget Pick

Youth Hostel Stille

Hostel · St. Moritz Bad · 400m to Signal cable car

{{#times stars}} {{/times}}

The *only* genuinely cheap option in St. Moritz. Dorm beds from £20/night, private rooms from £60 (shared bathrooms). It's a hostel — basic, clean, communal kitchen, mix of ski bums and budget travelers. You're 8 minutes' walk from Signal lift and the Bad train station. The building is dated and institutional (it's a youth hostel). But if you want to ski St. Moritz without selling a kidney, this is the only way. Book early — it fills up fast.
