GRACE LA MARGNA ST MORITZ Europe – Central Europe – Switzerland
Where St. Moritz glamour meets modern mountain serenity
St. Moritz has been reinventing the luxury hotel for a century & a half & yet Grace La Margna manages to offer something that the destination’s more venerable addresses cannot easily replicate: the particular pleasure of a place that holds two architectural souls in genuine & productive conversation. The historic Art Nouveau wing – its warm wooden panelling, carved details & the particular gravity of a building that has watched the Engadin lake change colour through generations of alpine winters – opens into the modern Grace wing through a dialogue of contrasts that rewards rather than confuses. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the mountains where leaded panes once stood; pale ash wood softens spaces that were once formal & the energy of N/5 – The Bar, where local jetsetters & visiting guests merge in the kind of social alchemy that only truly confident hotels generate, fills the historic corridors with a vitality that preservation alone could never produce. This is a luxury hotel in St. Moritz that has understood something important: that heritage & contemporaneity are not opposing values but complementary ones & that the most interesting version of a great alpine address is the one willing to hold both without flinching.
Location
GRACE LA MARGNA ST MORITZ is an iconic & history-immersed luxury resort experience set within a vibrant boutique landscape right next to the historic Rhaetian Railway in the Swiss Alps in the Swiss Confederation
- GRACE LA MARGNA ST MORITZ, Via Serlas 5, 7500 St. Moritz, Canton of the Grisons, Switzerland
- The Resort is conceived in harmony with the natural mountain surroundings & lake views, offering an idyllic refuge facing the majestic peaks of the Upper Engadine valley
St. Moritz carries its legend lightly – the frozen lake, the Corviglia slopes & the particular social electricity of a resort that has been the world’s most famous winter destination since the 1860s forming a backdrop that most hotels can only gesture toward.
GRACE LA MARGNA ST MORITZ sits right within the town itself, adjacent to the historic Rhaetian Railway & looking directly onto the Engadin lake, which means the full character of the place – its light, its energy, its extraordinary natural setting – is available from the moment one steps outside, in every direction & at every hour.
Rooms, Suites & Penthouses
The Resort features 74 elegantly appointed accommodations across its historic Art Nouveau & modern wings that subtly blend Swiss grand hotel tradition with contemporary luxury. All accommodations include WiFi, Minibar, TV, Tablet & Safe
- La Margna Superior Room (25 m²): Cozy north-facing double rooms set in the historic wing equipped with a king-size bed, providing a relaxing atmosphere with charming views of the vibrant town landscape, offering space for 2 guests
- Grace Superior Room (35 m²): Generous double rooms in the modern wing featuring sleek design, a king-size bed & expansive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, offering space for 2 guests
- More Facts
The La Margna rooms carry their Art Nouveau heritage with a warmth that feels inhabited rather than preserved – wooden panelling, lake views & the particular stillness of rooms that have been receiving guests across decades.
The Grace rooms answer with a different intelligence: contemporary lines, pale wood, floor-to-ceiling windows & the alpine panorama as primary decoration. The Grace Terrace Suite resolves the question of which register one prefers by offering both – an open fireplace in the lounge & a one-hundred-&-sixty-five-square-metre rooftop terrace with a private jacuzzi positioned directly above the Engadin lake. The Penthouse extends this further still, its three bedrooms & two living rooms offering a private mountain residence of complete & unhurried generosity.
Dining & Culinary
The hotel features a vibrant gastronomy fusing Swiss tradition with sophisticated international flavors, offering an elegant blend of historic fine dining, cozy alpine venues & classic cocktail lounges
- The View Restaurant: The Resort’s signature panoramic restaurant, celebrating inventive Mediterranean cuisine & a lively sharing food culture framed by floor-to-ceiling windows & stunning lake vistas
- Beefbar: A cosmopolitan, world-renowned luxury venue pairing a relaxed urban atmosphere with premium charcoal-grilled Wagyu, Kobe & Black Angus cuts alongside creative street-food classics
- More Facts
The View earns its fifteen GaultMillau points with the self-possession of a kitchen that knows exactly what it is doing – its Mediterranean sharing culture & floor-to-ceiling lake panorama combining to produce a dining experience where the food & the setting are equally ambitious & equally accomplished.
Beefbar, the cosmopolitan chophouse that has built a global reputation for premium charcoal-grilled Wagyu & Kobe alongside creative street-food classicism, transplants its cosmopolitan energy to the Engadin with complete conviction. Fine dining in St. Moritz finds, at this address, both its most classic register & its most contemporary & the distance between the two is itself part of the hotel’s character.
Pools
The resort offers an immersive alpine aquatic experience that prioritizes majestic nature & direct connection with the Swiss Engadine valley
- Main Pool: A heated, 20-meter-long indoor swimming pool maintained at a comfortable 26°C, equipped with an ingenious counter-current system for endless laps & surrounded by a sleek, modern architectural aesthetic
- Hydrotherapy Vitality Pool: A separate, specialized indoor whirlpool maintained at a therapeutic 34°C, equipped with integrated massage beds, loungers & multi-level hydro jets designed to soothe sore muscles after a day on the slopes
- More Facts
The twenty-metre indoor pool, its counter-current system allowing serious swimmers to train without interruption & its architecture maintaining the clean visual intelligence of the modern wing, occupies a space between fitness & pleasure that alpine pools rarely manage with equal success.
The hydrotherapy vitality pool offers the post-ski body exactly what it requires – thirty-four degrees of therapeutic warmth, massage beds & hydro jets arranged with the specific knowledge that the Engadin’s greatest luxury is the ability to unclench after a long morning on the slopes.
Wellness & Spa
A sophisticated alpine sanctuary designed for rejuvenation & physical well-being, offering exclusive rituals & tranquil spaces set within a sprawling 700-square-meter state-of-the-art facility & mountain-view relaxation areas
- Spa Facilities: The resort features a classic Finnish sauna, a soothing organic bio salt sauna, a steam bath, multi-sensory emotional showers, a specialized Sonnenwiese® UV collagen-boosting lounge & a dedicated private Spa Suite circuit
- Wellness Experiences: High-performance body treatments, sleep-enhancing aromatherapeutic massages, advanced cell-cosmetic facials & anti-aging routines developed using elite botanical & high-tech scientific skincare brands
A wellness spa of this design intelligence – Finnish sauna, organic bio salt sauna, steam bath, emotional showers & the distinctive Sonnenwiese® UV collagen lounge, all conceived within a seven-hundred-square-metre facility where the mountain light is present throughout – produces a quality of restoration that the Engadin’s pure alpine air has always promised & that this spa delivers with contemporary precision.
The private Spa Suite circuit, bookable for couples & available for entirely bespoke use, extends the offering into something closer to ritual than routine.
Service & Hospitality
This alpine boutique luxury hotel provides a range of high-end conveniences & bespoke five-star services designed by a team of hospitality experts to personalize every detail of your stay
- Wedding & Event Management
- In-House Skiservice
- More Facts
The hospitality here moves at the pace of a boutique rather than a grand hotel – attentive, quick to learn preferences & entirely free of the institutional distance that larger alpine properties sometimes substitute for warmth. The in-house ski service means that the transition from lobby to slope is frictionless & the team’s knowledge of the Upper Engadin’s cultural calendar – from the Snow Polo World Cup to the Festival da Jazz to the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival – ensures that whatever the season offers, it arrives without effort.
Secrets & Short Cuts
Beyond the grand salons & sweeping alpine views lies Grace La Margna St. Moritz’s exclusive, curation-focused lifestyle concept – a vibrant hub where historic avant-garde secrets, year-round alpine convenience & signature master craft collaborations are preserved just steps from your room
- Skiservice Corvatsch Boutique: Insiders love stepping into this sleek in-house hub knowing they can bypass public resort crowds by gearing up, securing top-tier rentals, or tuning their equipment year-round right inside the hotel
- The Secret Masonic Room: Regulars in the know frequent this hidden, atmospheric dining space specifically to enjoy reinterpreted Swiss fondues where historical secret lodge societies once gathered for mysterious, private meetings
The Secret Masonic Room is the hotel’s most quietly extraordinary discovery – a hidden dining space where historical lodge societies once gathered for private meetings, now repurposed for intimate fondue evenings of uncommon atmosphere, its walls carrying a history that the surrounding luxury cannot entirely explain & cannot improve upon. The Living Room tea station, where Mariage Frères selections are paired with pastries from the master pastry chef beside an open fireplace, is the kind of daily ritual that guests tend to miss with unusual specificity once they have returned home.
Sports & Activities
The Resort’s team of outdoor experts & sports professionals designs a curated set of tailor-made activities & unforgettable experiences that celebrate the rich alpine beauty & the vibrant energy of the Upper Engadine
- Mountain Adventures: Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Snowshoeing, Winter Hiking, Ice Bathing & Ice Skating
- Water Adventures: Sailing, Stand-Up-Paddling & Kitesurfing
- More Facts
The Engadin delivers winter & summer as two entirely different & equally compelling arguments for the same place – powder skiing on Corviglia in January & sailing on the lake in August occupying opposite ends of the same extraordinary landscape.
The resort’s cultural programme deepens this further: the Snow Polo World Cup, the British Classic Car Meeting & the Gourmet Festival providing a social & cultural calendar that makes even non-skiers find reasons to return in the depths of winter.
Family-Friendly
Designed as a fairytale alpine sanctuary that welcomes families across generations, this destination offers a curated experience that blends historic grand-hotel luxury with the vibrant, snowy heart of the Upper Engadine
- Moritzville – The Club for Kids: Arts, Crafts & Games
- Other Activities: Pizza Making Masterclasses, Ice Skating & Direct Ski School
The Moritzville kids’ club & the pizza-making masterclasses give younger guests their own fully considered version of the alpine experience – one that tends to produce, in children who have spent a St. Moritz winter making their own dinner & skating on a frozen lake, a relationship with the mountains that lasts considerably longer than the holiday itself.
Climate & Seasons
St. Moritz experiences a high-alpine continental climate, characterized by crisp mountain air, exceptionally low humidity & an average of 322 days of sunshine year-round
- Winter Season (Dec–Apr): Known as the champagne climate season, this period offers crisp, dry freezing air with abundant powder snow & perfectly blue skies – ideal for elite winter sports
- Summer Season (Jun–Sep): Known as the refreshing alpine season, this period brings mild, sunny days & cool mountain breezes that offer a perfect escape from city heatwaves – ideal for hiking, lakeside golf & sailing
The Engadin’s exceptional sunshine record makes the question of when to come less important than the question of what version of the valley one is seeking – deep powder & the social electricity of peak winter, or the long luminous summer days when the lake shimmers & the hiking trails open into landscapes of improbable beauty.
Both are complete & irreplaceable in themselves.

What Makes This a Hotel in Heaven
What GRACE LA MARGNA ST MORITZ ultimately offers is the particular pleasure of a place that has resolved the great tension of the luxury alpine hotel – between the romance of heritage & the demands of contemporary life – with enough intelligence & enough aesthetic conviction to satisfy both simultaneously.
The Art Nouveau ceilings & the floor-to-ceiling lake views, the open fireplace in the terrace suite & the craft cocktails at N/5, the cheese fondue in the Masonic Room & the Wagyu at Beefbar: these are not compromises between past & present but genuine expressions of a hotel that has found a way to be entirely itself across two centuries of alpine hospitality. The Engadin lake below, changeable & profound across every season, provides the constant – & against that backdrop, the hotel’s own character becomes clearer with each return visit, more settled, more confident & more completely worth the journey.
