Gstaad Palace

Gstaad's castle-topped palace, with the Lobby Bar terrace open to dogs

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“The turreted palace on the hill above Gstaad, family-run since 1913 and one of the grand hotels of the Alps. It suits people who want the full palace experience in winter or summer, with the village Promenade a short walk down the hill. Dogs are guests here, with food included in the nightly charge, and the house keeps a collection of stories about pampered pets over the decades.
