ENGELBERG, SWITZERLAND

Kempinski Palace Engelberg perfectly pairs the timeless beauty of the Swiss Alps with refined luxury, world-class service, and the welcoming warmth of a place that feels like home. Perched in the heart of the Engelberg Valley, this historic palace flaunts 129 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, each a front-row seat to a 360° show of towering peaks. With bright, airy interiors, soothing colours, classic décor, and a blend of brushed oak and sumptuous leather in warm shades of brown, the rooms are designed to cocoon you in luxury.

The grandeur of the six-storey Palace is unmistakable, effortlessly weaving together its rich past and modern-day sophistication. Step inside the Belle Époque wing, where grand marble pillars, intricate tile mosaics, and glittering chandeliers take centre stage. Every detail, from the coffered ceilings to the tasteful floral displays, whispers of a bygone era, while the subtl colour palette draws inspiration from the alpine serenity just outside.

As the first five-star hotel in Engelberg, Kempinski Palace sets a new standard for Swiss luxury, with service that’s as polished as it is personal. Every morning, the breakfast buffet tempts you with Swiss wine and freshly squeezed juices, alongside a spread of mountain cheeses, regional sausages, and homemade pastries. For something more tailored, the à la carte menu is at your service.

Dining here is an experience worth savouring. Cattani Restaurant puts Swiss produce at the forefront, embracing a farm-to-table philosophy that celebrates simplicity and flavour. For something heartier, Chalet Ruinart serves fondue in a setting straight out of an alpine fairy tale. Meanwhile, the Palace Bar channels the glamour of the roaring 1920s, complete with an open fire and a cocktail menu limited only by your imagination.

For a more relaxed affair, the Wintergarden Lounge offers a cosy corner to indulge in afternoon tea while the mountains provide a spectacular backdrop.

At the top of the hotel, a wellness centre awaits. The infinity pool stretches towards the horizon, a ribbon of water that seems to spill into the mountains. Lounging by the fireplace in the relaxation room or stepping into the sauna with views of the Alps, you’ll find tranquillity comes easy here. There’s also a fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment, yoga classes on demand, and a spa offering everything from beauty treatments to full detox rituals.

Location is everything, and Kempinski Palace makes it effortless to explore Engelberg’s alpine wonders. Just 100 metres from the train station and a short ride from the mountain cable cars, you’re perfectly placed to dive into the adventure of the day. The concierge is on hand to curate your experience, from recommending the best hikes to arranging ski gear or booking activities.

Whether blanketed in snow or bathed in summer sunshine, Engelberg enchants all year-round. This charming village is shaped by its 900-year-old Benedictine monastery and full of rustic charm. In summer, stroll along mountain trails lined with wildflowers, or follow the barefoot path at Hüttismatt all the way to shimmering Lake Härzli for a cool, refreshing dip. In winter, the village transforms into a snowy paradise with endless opportunities for alpine adventures. Whether you’re here for the thrill of the mountains or the allure of timeless luxury, Kempinski Palace Engelberg offers a stay that’s as rich in history as it is in charm.
