The Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski in St. Moritz is celebrating its 20th anniversary this December with the unveiling of a renovated lobby as well as a brand-new lobby bar redesigned in a contemporary style, the result of a two-month project. The renovation also included the refurbishing of the buffet area at the award-winning main restaurant, Les Saisons, a new entry and reception area as well as new luxury-shopping units.
Local architect Nikolas Travaseros led the project. A mix of comfort and contemporary design was chosen, with clean lines, brightness and an open, modern atmosphere. The Kempinski Bar & Lobby will allow travelers to unwind after an active day out, enjoy a glass of a refreshing beverage or enjoy the Kempinski's signature high tea with fine Swiss patisserie.
Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski will continue its upgrade in the upcoming off seasons with an extensive renovation of its room product. General Manager Konstantin Zeuke says, "We will continue with exciting and ambitious projects and add-ons to the hotel, such as innovative and local guest experiences, renovated rooms, an outdoor pool for the Alpine Spa, and a cabaret, dining and entertainment venue, where the former casino was located."
Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski is immersed in tradition. The destination St Moritz Bad became famous for its carbonated and iron-rich Mauritius spring, which led to the first spa tourism in the 19th century. Since then, guests of the hotel have been able to sample the spring water from a fountain located in the spa area of the hotel. It has been 20 years since Kempinski Hotels, Europe's oldest hotel group, reopened the iconic Grand Hotel des Bains in December 2002, after a 14-month renovation process.
The hotel is located at the foot of the Signalbahn and the legendary Hahnensee piste, and offers its guests the opportunity to ski in/ski out to the Corviglia and Corvatsch ski areas. The cross-country ski trails and hiking paths in the hotel park also lead directly to the lakes and forests in the Engadine valley.
