We followed up with green apple ice cream and the casada (looked like Neapolitan ice cream) for dessert. Meals were outstanding. Our waiter, Tomasso, was very pleasant and quiet patient with our language barrier. He is multilingual and was speaking French German and English to various patrons. He helped coach us through ordering and also recommended a delicious apple ice cream which was an absolute surprise. Highly recommended! Patient with Americans.

I have to agree with the other 5 star review. I ordered the Garden Rösti and it was so flavorful!…read moreSome of the other tables around me ordered fondue and it smelled really good. It is a cute place feels more traditional but not the fastest service. If you need a place to grab food and go this is not what you are looking for. If you want to sit down relax, enjoy delicious Swiss food, followed by dessert and some coffee this is a great option.

Having walked all over St Moritz, trying in vain to get a restaurant table on a Saturday night, we…read morewere hugely relieved this place was able to fit us in. Very friendly, helpful staff. Good selection on menu. They seem to specialize in grilled meats. We tried the lamb, which was cooked to perfection, and a mushroom risotto very tasty and just the right quantity. Plenty of choice of accompaniments. The only downside was the dessert menu a very disappointing list of ice creams, sorbets, chocolate mousse and other standard items that were obviously straight out of the freezer. It would be great to see something more authentic. So we skipped dessert and went straight to coffee.

We stayed at the Badrutt's Palace as part of my milestone birthday plans with my girlfriends…read more I'm sad to say, Badrutt's Palace turned out to be the biggest disappointment of the trip. We spent about 7,500 CHF for two connecting rooms for two nights in the basic category rooms. And these are the reasons why I am giving the Badrutt's one star: - When we arrived, at about 330pm we were told one of our rooms were not ready, because of a 'technical issue'. The official check in time was 3pm. They told us to expect the room to be ready by 530pm. Meanwhile, they offered us "complimentary tea at the Grand Hall". - The complimentary tea turned out to be a frame of small bites that was too little for the three of us, so we ordered one club sandwich and also some water. We were charged for the sandwich and water which turned out to be 75CHF. - At 530pm we went up to check into the room that was ready, as the connecting one still wasn't ready yet. It turned out that the 'technical issue' were guests who hadn't checked out. I saw the service staff cramming clothes and belongings into bags while they tried to clear out the room. - The rooms were really small. This I had heard and I thought it was acceptable considering the location of the hotel. What I did not expect was the general shabbiness of the place. Furnishings looked worn and tired. And the carpet wasn't clean. I do my nightly stretches on the carpet, and found myself cheek to cheek to some dirt / soil. I was hoping that it came from the last guest in their hurry to check out and not some vintage dirt from winter 2022. - For the next two days, we found the staff generally distracted and too busy to attend to us, whether it be a request for a kettle, a charger, soft boil eggs at breakfast, water to the table or an ice pack. Things either never materialized or you needed to remind them three times before they arrived. - On the last day of our stay, I encountered a small crash on the slopes and tore my ACL. After making it back to the hotel, I called the front office to inform them about the injury, and potential need for alternative arrangements for dinner. Their reply was, "There will be a cancellation policy of 200CHF per person if you decide to cancel dinner" - I wasn't prepared to pay 600CHF for no dinner and to mooch in a small room so I said I will go ahead with dinner, but could I please have a wheelchair to bring me to dinner. They said, of course we will bring it up immediately. We waited 1.5 hours for the wheelchair which never materialized. Finally I hobbled to the front desk to find out they had "lost the wheelchair". I was puzzled why we were not informed any earlier. I feel extremely cheated out of what I thought was going to be a luxury experience. We are not un-used to paying high prices for 5-star accommodations but for this price, this level of service and general standards of the property are unacceptable.

Great breakfast, not as great beds…read more My wife and I recently were on a tour and we stayed at Hotel Laudinella while in St. Moritz. The scenery alone was incredible. The food we ate at the hotel - both dinner and breakfast - were wonderful as well. We enjoyed all of the bread choices, the fruit choices, the breakfast meat choices. Mmmm. So good indeed. One of the nice treats of this trip was being able to sample foods, including breads and cheeses, that we simply do not have back at home in the States. While at Hotel Laudinella, my wife and I found that we simply loved the cheese that was made locally in the Engadine valley region. It was delicious. The room itself was nice, but so was the shower. I try not to be critical in my reviews, but unfortunately, the only sore point we had was the bed. There was basically only one small mattress on some plywood. Another issue, which I found more and more in this part of Europe, was that there was no thermostat in the room. As spoiled Americans, we need to be able to adjust the temperature at night - even if we can cool it off by simply opening the door. As a result, we ended up roasting at night in very hot temperatures. I got up more than once to open the window to let the cool air inside; thankfully, it did manage to get down to zero degrees Celsius the night we were there, so we did get cool. In spite of the room, we all enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it, if only for the breakfast. Be sure to consider the Hotel Laudinella if you are visiting St. Moritz, or only passing through. (TIP - try to get a room with a comfortable mattress.)

Delicious food in a great atmosphere. I loved how there were wall tattoos of famous quotes from…read moreGoethe and Winston Churchill--albeit translated into German, of course--with my favorite being, "Life is too short to drink bad wine." I had a lovely glass of champagne and Nero d'Avola. The bread basket had a variety of fun crisps to eat. My green salad starter was simply a bed of lettuce--but made amazing by the delicious dressing they put on top. I also tasted my friends' tuna carpaccio and tomato mozzarella salad--both of which were nice--but the truffle pasta really took the cake. So rich and creamy with a heavy scent of truffles, just one bite was sooo decadent. My dinner selection was a 200g steak with sauteed mushrooms. I was expecting little button mushrooms à la grilled mushrooms in the U.S., but instead these were HUGE, thick slices of mushrooms that covered the entire top of my steak. Totally took me by surprise, but it was a perfect complement to the meat. Ordered medium, it seemed a bit rarer than what I'm used to, but the steak was totally tender and delicious. I don't know what my friend ordered, but I tried his thin slices of semi-rare beef, and it was also very good. One of my friends ordered tiramisu for dessert, and it came with a very light, airy cream, almost like whipped foam on a cappuccino. Quite tasty, but I think I actually prefer the heavier mascarpone filling. My dessert of choice was of course something I've never tried before--a warm dish of cooked plums with pink pepper and mint ice cream, topped with a spun sugar nest. A bit tart yet also sweet, it was a delectable finish to a fantastic dinner.

This Swiss country club puts the ritz in St. Moritz. And like everything in the city, eating at…read moreChels au Parc is expensive. But the service is spectacular, the views are amazing, and the food is pretty good. The schnitzel doesn't compare to the best I've eaten in Austria, but it will suffice. The french fries are very good! And just like everywhere in Europe, you have to beg them to bring a proper amount of water. But I still think it's one of the best places to eat in this small town. When you're finished eating, walk the path behind the restaurant around the corner to see the modest stadium that hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of two different Olympic Games.

It was quite chilly but nice and sunny, so we sat outdoors at the sun terrace to enjoy our meal. They provided a thick blanket with the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz logo in the corner for us to cover ourselves, one per every two seats. Mine had a small cigarette burn hole in it, but otherwise it was quite cozy and warm. My CHF 5.00 latte macchiato came with a yummy little chocolate chip cookie, which I recently learned the cute Swiss word for--Guetzli. ^.^ Brunch was Rösti with smoked salmon and sour cream for CHF 28.00. I've never had this combination before, but it was quite delicious with the fresh greens on the side and delightful, creamy sour cream. I LOVE sour cream, yum! I tried a bit of my bf's Rösti Chesa al Parc with cheese, prosciutto crudo, and fried egg. It was quite heavy but also delicious, with the strong scent of cheese. Kind of reminded me of Raclette or fondue cheese. Definitely filling and warm for the tummy on a cold winter's day. Other tables around us had a variety of sausages and cheese fondue, and the outdoor seating seemed quite filled up, so I think this place is pretty good for Swiss specialties in an idyllic setting.

The spa/bains area is extensive and immaculate. There were 9 rooms and several relaxation areas as well both indoor and outdoor. Gorgeous pool which is also well sized. The breakfast is really well done. All the indulgent options (bread pudding, bacon) and healthy options (fresh juices with ingredients of your choosing, poached eggs). Concierge is very helpful for hikes, tours. The e-bike was so much fun to take around the town and neighboring silvaplana. Only downside was any request sourcing from the front desk seemed to get lost in translation to Housekeeping, not sure why but it happened 3 times. Second, aware it's a mountain town, but it was hot..our room was too stuffy and only way to cool down was to open the windows. However we faced the front so it wasn't feasible due to noise. Lastly, we didn't really conduct our research on location, but note the Kempinski is at the edge of town, so it wasn't as convenient to simply walk everywhere like at the other well known properties. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel.
