Suvretta House

Suvretta House, a palatial hotel set in a scenic alpine landscape just outside St. Moritz, opened to great fanfare and a well-timed snowfall in 1912. More than a century later, it’s still one of the top places to stay in one of Europe’s most exclusive destinations. It retains an old-world air, from the snow-dusted turrets, wood beams, and coffered ceilings to the billiards room, private ice skating rink, oak-paneled bar, and a richly decorated dining room where even children are required to dress for dinner. Guest rooms are comparatively simple but luxe, with classic wooden furnishings and heavy drapery framing large windows. Breakfast is a lavish Swiss-style affair, and there’s a beautiful indoor swimming pool facing views of the mountains. Icing on the cake: the hotel has a private ski lift just for guests.
