For the 11th year in a row, watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer and GaultMillau Switzerland have awarded the title of Hotel of the Year.

The title of Hotel of the Year is one of the most coveted in the hotel industry, and is only awarded to the very best hotels in Switzerland. Located at the heart of the famous Swiss spa resort of St. Moritz, the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz boasts breathtaking views of the majestic scenery of Lake St. Moritz, the Engadin Alps, and the hotel’s extensive grounds, which cover 2,000 square meters.

A Visionary, Pioneering Spirit

The Kulm Hotel St. Moritz has a rich history that is steeped in tradition. Pioneering hotelier Johannes Badrutt opened the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz in the Engadin in 1864 and, at the same time, created the concept of winter tourism. The winter sun on the southern slopes of this Alpine valley continues to draw visitors to this day. The historic Eispavillon in Kulm Park, which once welcomed the ice skaters during the Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948, was reopened in January 2017 as the Kulm Country Club. It is a further addition to the culinary diversity that guests of the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz can experience. The hotel is home to several restaurants and bars that serve a range of Peruvian, Italian, and traditional Swiss dishes – there is sure to be something to suit the taste of every gourmet connoisseur. This winter, German chef Tim Raue, holder of 19 GaultMillau points, will take the helm at the Kulm Hotel’s gourmet restaurant, K. 

Outstanding Swiss Quality

“We are delighted to present this award to the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz,” says Sascha Moeri, CEO of Carl F. Bucherer. “This exclusive Swiss hotel boasts outstanding quality, the very highest standards, and a truly exceptional design.” Sascha Moeri joined brand ambassadors DJ Antoine and Daniel Bernhardt, along with GaultMillau Editor in Chief Urs Heller to honor Hotel Director Heinz Hunkeler. During the awards ceremony, Mr. Moeri presented a special watch to Mr. Hunkeler, engraved with the words “Hotel of the Year 2018” on its case back.
