GRAND HOTEL KRONENHOF 5*

Pontresina - St. Moritz

In the authentic Engadin village of Pontresina, the Grand Hotel Kronenhof is an opulent mountain retreat, with an imposing mountain panorama of the Roseg Glacier and Corviglia range. The restored neo-Baroque interiors are indicative of the hotel's long and illustrious history.

 

The original structure of the Kronenhöf dates from 1848, and is recognized as one of the most beautiful and best-maintained historical hotel buildings in Switzerland. The rooms and suites are decorated in various styles, from the cozy wood-paneled Engadin style, to the opulent decor of a patrician dwelling, with lavish furnishings.

 

During the daytime, when sunlight touches the baroque splendor of elaborate stucco, original ceiling paintings and the dark pine panels, the magnificence of past epochs evoke the warm hospitality of bygone days. And when the sun sets, time seems to stand still. Soft piano music, the warm crackling of the fireplace and animated conversation underscore the hotel’s special, neo-baroque elegance.

 

The Kronenhöf is a hotel that has solid confidence in its tradition of service and how it delivers to guests, doing so in a warm and discreet manner, and that is why their refined clientele choose Pontresina and the Kronenhöf over the glitz and glamour of St. Moritz.

 

SPA & WELLNESS: Where the past meets the present, the elegant and modern Kronenhöf Spa, with indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, Finish sauna steam room, salt water grotto and fitness area. Beauty and massage treatments are offered in 13 therapy rooms using the finest beauty products by Alpienne and Pharmos Natur with bioactive ingredients.

 

FOOD & DRINK: Kronenstübli: 16 points Gault Millau, international dishes enriched with regional specialties. The bar and lounge is a relaxing place to enjoy a drink or snack and live piano music in the evening. Thanks to the “Dine Around” formula, hotel guests with half board meal plan can also enjoy dinner in the sister establishment, Kulm Hotel – St Moritz.

 

LOCATION: "Laret” the old village area of Pontresina, a picture-book village tucked just around the mountain from St Moritz (5km).

  • "I have done trips in the Alps and surrounding regions with Epic Europe for the past 4 years, and every one has been unique and surpassed the last. The experiences that they deliver due to their personal relationships are a window into the real life in these incredible locations, and they share these friendships with us." - K.B., CT USA
  • "I would have to say that Verbier and Zermatt might be the best places I have ever ridden a mountain bike, and I couldn't imagine going without the help of Epic Europe's guides. It was a dream trip for sure." - B.S., PA USA
  • "A day of heliskiing in Italy culminated with a sunset run off the Breuil saddle of the Matterhorn - one of the most thrilling runs of my life - and we left our tracks in a place where they remained for a week afterward, reminding us of the best day of skiing in our life!" - WG, CT USA
  • "Hiking in the Alps has always been on my bucket list, but I wasn't sure that a typical trip was my style. Epic Europe designed a custom route for our group, staying in the best little inns and hotels, and we felt like we had the trails to ourselves. I will come back again and again to explore new trails with their guides every year that I can!" - R.B., NY USA
  • "Epic Europe has coordinated several corporate events for us over the past 5 years, and I cannot imagine a more professional operation to handle all of the details. From a team-building event for 50 people in a 17th-century castle atop a mountain pass, to marketing conferences and catalog shoots, their knowledge of the best locations in the Alps is second-to-none, and they are as good as it gets at being creative." - E.P., Lugano CH
  • "Epic Europe's custom road biking trip that they put together for my buddy's bachelor party was great - the right combination of killer rides, great hotels, and outstanding restaurants. Great guides, and overall a perfect trip." - A.S., London UK
  • "Our family spent last Christmas in Zermatt on a bespoke Epic Europe ski trip. The special thought and care that they put into our holiday made it our best yet." - L.M.; CA USA
  • “The team at Epic Europe created the most incredible trip for us, where everything came together seamlessly, and we never had to think about what came next - it just magically happened as if it was meant to be. That takes real talent, and they make it look easy." - B.N., WY USA
