Historic hotels

Historic Hotel of the Year 2001: The Grand Hotel Bella Tola & St-Luc was constructed back in 1883 by the Pont family at the northern edge of the village of St-Luc. This simple guesthouse quickly grew into a grand Alpine hotel.

No hotel has bound its destiny so closely to that of St. Moritz as Badrutt’s Palace Hotel – nor has any hotel developed the glamorous resort in the same way. Together, they have become a legend.

The Hobby Hotel is situated next door to the steamer pier and the funiculars up Mt. Rigi. It was first built in 1873 by the Vitznau-Rigibahn, Europe’s first mountain railway (1871), as part of the station complex.

The Hotel Falken is a unique testament to the days of the belle époque in Wengen. It stands on a hilltop in its own grounds, with a separate pavilion.

The history of the Monte Rosa goes back to the very earliest days of alpine tourism, and the hotel still breathes all the charm of those pioneering years – without being a museum piece.
