A Palace Among the Peaks

Back at the Palace, five distinctive restaurants showcase the best of the region’s bounty, enlivened with Mediterranean flavours and touches of Asian finesse. Whether you’re settling in for dinner beneath glowing chandeliers in one of the grand dining rooms or sipping a glass of wine in the cosy, wood-panelled Lobby Bar—affectionately known as Gstaad’s living room—the culinary experience is refined yet refreshingly unpretentious. After dark, the legendary GreenGo Club brings a shift in tempo, with its retro interiors and glittering lights setting the stage for convivial nights.

Wellness is another cornerstone of the Gstaad Palace experience. Spanning 1,800 square metres, the Palace Spa blends nature and nurture with its granite-lined thermal suite, outdoor log fire, mountain-view sauna, and botanical-infused treatments. A jacuzzi, hammam and relaxation lounge ensure there’s ample space to unwind. In summer, guests gather around the Olympic-sized outdoor pool—a local institution since 1928—for sun-drenched afternoons with mountain air and retro Riviera vibes. Fitness facilities, tennis and squash courts, and access to nearby ski slopes and golf courses round out the year-round appeal.

Whether visiting in July or January, guests can expect an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and inviting. Children are warmly welcomed with their own programme of entertainment, while adults are left to immerse themselves in everything from après-ski indulgence to serene Alpine moments.This summer, Gstaad Palace opens its doors from 22nd June to 4th September—an ideal window to experience the Swiss Alps at their sun-dappled best. A palace in name, perhaps—but one that proves luxury can still feel like home.
