If the phrase “winter wonderland” were a destination, St. Moritz would fit the description, and the historic Kulm Hotel St. Moritz would complete the scene.
Considered the birthplace of cold-weather sports, this tony Swiss ski resort has not only hosted the Winter Olympics twice (1928 and 1948) but is also home to the oldest and only remaining natural ice bobsled run in the world.
But it’s not all outdoor adventures here. The grand hotel instantly wows with its stately entry. Ornately adorned with richly patterned carpets, imposing columns and spectacular wood details depicting scenes of St. Moritz, the lobby offers just a taste of the extravagant extras to come.
A 21,000-square-foot spa invites endless opportunities for relaxation, seven sensational restaurants and bars offer mouthwatering morsels any time of day and sumptuous rooms (many with private balconies) beckon you to take in those panoramic mountain views without changing out of your robe.
This winter, The K by Mauro Colagreco brings the acclaimed chef’s fresh Mediterranean fare to the luxury hotel. Savor dishes like “Green,” garden peas, fennel and kiwi fruit, as well as luxus beta vulgaris, a signature that combines salt-encrusted beetroot with indulgent Oscietra caviar cream.
