Switzerland has a new allure this year with the opening of the Grace La Margna, bringing modern luxury and classic glamour to St Moritz.

The launch of Grace La Margna St Moritz sees the rebirth of a unique historical building brought back to life through the restoration of The “La Margna”. Built at the beginning of the 20th Century in the Art Nouveau style, characteristic of the Engadin, it is one of St Moritz‘s landmarks, not only because of its spectacular location and panoramic view of Lake St Moritz but because of historic elegance and charm.

The Grace Margna St Moritz combines the glamorous past of St. Moritz with the demands of the modern and cosmopolitan society of today and sees the loving renovation of a historic building as well as the creation of the new adjacent building, creating the first luxurious boutique hotel in St. Moritz.

London-based architectural firm Divercity Architects was engaged in the design implementation to bring an individual perspective to traditional Engadin architectural design. Construction work on Grace La Margna St Moritz is in full swing for a glittering opening this month, when the summer season will kick off with A Legend Reborn and a new place-to-be for cosmopolitans and locals alike 365 days a year.

The 74 rooms and suites, set across two unique wings – the renovated La Margna Wing and the new Grace Wing – will captivate guests with a progressive design that exudes a calm and serene sense of wellbeing. The lavishly restored historic La Margna Wing, which retains its original Art Nouveau elements, bears witness to the original spirit of winter tourism and the flair of the world-famous destination of St Moritz. Most of its 47 rooms and suites have panoramic views over the lake and the unparalleled mountain vistas beyond.

The Grace Wing forms an exciting architectural contrast with its purist appearance. Its 27 spacious rooms and suites can be individually connected and configured, offering additional comfort with views over the lake and mountain landscape. On the top floor, the unique Grace Penthouse awaits guests with a private roof terrace and its own Jacuzzi, the ultimate setting for bespoke secluded luxury.

General Manager David Frei and his team will welcome guests not only to world-class accommodation but also to a meeting place and culinary hotspot for travellers and locals alike. In the restaurants, cafés, lounges and signature bar, culinary diversity and experiential gastronomy will be guaranteed. Whether vegetarian or meat, pop-up or fine dining, enjoyment is redefined here with a delightful selection of food and drink 365 days a year for almost 24 hours a day.

The View will serve Mediterranean dishes while The Stack will offer the finest Brasserie experiences and The Living Room encompasses a chill-out zone with an open fireplace. The pinnacle of the food and beverage offerings at the hotel is the already award-winning N°5 – The Bar, the heart of the hotel, where global nomad meets local, and where upscale bar ambience and lightness form a trendy symbiosis to become a hip hotspot. Here, bar culture is reinterpreted and celebrated in the impressive setting of listed art nouveau walls paired with exclusive interiors.

With its most modern comforts and based on its unique philosophy, the new Grace Spa is set to be a wellness oasis as well as a #selftreat hotspot par excellence in the Upper Engadin. With a 20m pool, Vitaly Pool, two saunas, a steam bath, wellness showers, exclusive treatment rooms, a private SPA Suite and a SPA Lounge with healthy drinks and food menu, this haven of tranquility will ensure the perfect Grace Being is achieved by all guests.
