There is something undeniably enchanting about heritage hotels in Europe. These magnificent properties offer a unique blend of old‑world charm and modern luxury. In an age where travel is often rushed and impersonal, heritage hotels offer a sanctuary of sorts.
Switzerland, with its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is home to some of the most exquisite heritage hotels in the world. On my recent journey through the country, I had the pleasure of exploring five magnificent heritage properties. Each offers a unique experience that is both luxurious and deeply rooted in history. These are not just places to stay; they are destinations in themselves, each with a story to tell and a unique charm that makes it stand out.
As we continue to seek meaningful and enriching travel experiences, heritage hotels will remain at the forefront of luxury travel, offering timeless elegance and refined hospitality.
A JEWEL IN THE ENGADINE VALLEY
CRESTA PALACE HOTEL
Located in the charming village of Celerina, just a stone’s throw from the glitz and glamour of St Moritz, Cresta Palace Hotel is a perfect blend of convenience and luxury. The Engadine Valley, renowned for its alpine scenery, provides a breathtaking backdrop to this elegant hotel, while the nearby ski lifts offer endless opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts.
The recently renovated rooms are done up in beautiful art nouveau style; one might expect the facilities to be similarly vintage and traditional. But one of the highlights is the delightfully surprising inclusion of an authentic Thai restaurant, with dishes prepared by a Thai chef.
