Badrutt's Palace Hotel

Badrutt's Palace Hotel

The historic Palace Hotel in St. Moritz — more recently renamed as "Badrutt's Palace Hotel" is an internationally known destination, famous for its glitz and glamor. It was constructed over four years and opened in 1896 as a successor to the resort hotel which invented the cold weather winter resort — the internationally famous Krup Hause.

It is owned and operated by the same Badrutts family, now in their third generation, who created winter tourism circa 1875— Many winter sports, such as Luge, Skeleton, and Bobsled were invented hereFact|date=September 2007, as well as winter resorting in general. As the historically largest and most successful hotelFact|date=September 2007|date=September 2007 in St. Moritz, with decades of experience in catering to the needs of royalty, the nouveau riche, and idle rich, artists, dignitaries, and performers, it has likely played a key role in the development of other alpine sports such as skiing, snow boarding, situated as it is in one of the world's premiere ski regions—most runs of which end within a few hundred meters of its many doors in the small town.

Its founder undoubtedly built the first half-pipe luge/skeleton/bobsled run to support his guest's interests — and as a community service to prevent further injuries from sledding in the narrow streets of the village. This historic track in St Moritz is still one of the best in the world, and one of the few all-natural weather runs of its kin.
