Our take
The Gstaad Palace is the landmark I would choose in Gstaad for a family or romantic ski trip with no compromise on comfort. It stands on a hill overlooking the village with panoramic Alpine views, the spa, pool and jacuzzi carry the afternoons, and ski storage and a ski school keep mornings simple for families. A 9.8 from 49 guests is close to perfect. Travellers on a budget, or after a small informal chalet, will find it far beyond what they need.
- Make sure to book a room with a mountain view for the most spectacular Alpine panoramas
- Take advantage of the ski school services, especially if you're traveling with children or are a beginner yourself
- Explore the various dining options within the hotel, from traditional Swiss to gourmet Italian, for a diverse culinary experience
Why we love it

Why guests love itStaying at this landmark hotel on the hill above Gstaad was a once-in-a-while treat, and the panoramic views of the Swiss Alps were breathtaking from the start. The ski school made organising lessons for the kids effortless, and ski storage kept everything in order. Afternoons were spent between the pool and jacuzzi, with the spa for us. It's grand, yet the children felt genuinely welcome throughout.
