FIT FOR A KING

If the Swiss Alps are known for luxury, then Gstaad represents the pinnacle of what the region has to offer. A longtime haven for celebrities and business titans alike, Gstaad offers an array of accommodations, nightlife, and culinary experiences to satisfy even the most discerning guest’s desires.

The first challenge, a 105-year-old towering structure set on a hill overlooking the town, tops the list: This fairy-tale castle of a hotel offers 90 exquisitely appointed rooms, including the three-bedroom Penthouse Suite. With five restaurants, two bars, and a nightclub to choose from, guests don’t even have to leave the premises, but we recommend you do—at least to experience the Palace’s helicopter lunch tour, which flies you around the Matterhorn for a Champagne toast before landing atop Glacier 3000, one of Europe’s largest glaciers, for a gourmet meal at Refuge l’Espace.
