Hotel is old, charming, elegant, breakfast is very good, spa area is nice and clean. Position of the hotel is good for skiing and visiting St. Moritz by bus or train. Hotel is expensive, but not extremely, so it is a good solution, in winter time you can come back on skies to 50 meters distance from the hotel.

The Cresta Palace is simply a great hotel in a great region. The old-style building is charming and full of atmosphere. The rooms are huge and well furnished. The wellness area with sauna and steam bath is what you need after a day on the snow.

We wished to ski St Moritz and chose Celerina and the Cresta Palace for our lodging. We enjoy hotels with a bit of historical and/or local character. The Cresta Palace – at over 100 years old -- fills that wish. The hotel had old school elegance with wide halls, high ceilings, three foot thick exterior walls, grand staircase, chandeliers, and...

The Cresta Palace is an old time resort hotel that has been updated to accommodate modern expectations. The rooms overlooking the mountain frequently see but never here the Swiss narrow gauge trains. Across the street is a huge outdoor ice complex for figure skating, hockey, and curling. The hotel is within walking distance of the Olympic bobsled run that hosts... More

We just returned from a one week ski trip to St. Moritz with our two children, ages 6 and 8. We stayed in the Cresta Palace for a week as part of a Family Ski promotion from the Engadin Valley (St. Moritz) tourist association. We were upgraded upon arrival into a two room suite which was perfect for our family.... More

In the Cresta Palace you do not just stay - you reside. Okay, it's a first class hotel - but it's the vintage kind of luxury and style that makes it so special - it makes you feel as living in the belle epoque yourself. Just adding a modern infrastructure, a comfortable SPA area including a nice pool and a... More

We stayed for 3 nights at this hotel and had a package deal with meals included. While we were generally happy with the service and the facilities, we were sorely disappointed by the dinner. The food was a poor quality, mass catering affair, albeit a 5 course menu and to top this off, the serving staff very noisily lay the... More

The hotel is actually noted as being a 4-star hotel, here on tripadvisor it says 3-star, I would say that is more accurate. The furnishings and the decor in the hotel lobby are OK, a bit old fashioned. The check-in staff were very friendly, the concierge was a bit rude on one occasion. We had a medium double room. There... More

This is a very special hotel. It beats me why it was given 3 stars. It is more luxurious than most 5 star hotels that I have stayed and with lots of character. The hotel manages something quite rare: to be very luxurious, very friendly and leaving you with a feeling that you are at home. And chances are that... More
