The Carlton Hotel overlooks Lake St. Moritz. This five-star hotel also looks out over the Swiss Alps and is one of the finest ski resorts in the area. If you want a skiing trip where you stay on the lap of luxury, you can't go wrong with Carlton Hotel St. Moritz.

Overview

The resort, designed by the interior designer Carlo Rampazzi, sits on the north shore of St. Moritz. The location gives it a great view from both the rooms and the sun terrace. Besides, it's only a few minutes away from the center of town, and your stay will begin with your arrival.

You can choose to arrive via private plane or helicopter, but the standard way is by train. The three-hour trip will be on the Little Red Train. This will take you through the mountains and lets you enjoy the Alpine scenery. You will also enjoy the snow-covered mountains and forests, the deep ravines, and the viaducts that cross turquoise streams far below.

You can also choose to arrive via a chauffeured Bentley, though it is very close to town at only a two-minute drive. 

The Hotel was recently refurbished by Carlo Rampazzi, with the interior being inspired by the Russian Tears that the building was supposedly created for in 1913. You can find the imperial double graded eagle throughout the hotel, as well as items and paintings designed after things the Tsars once owned. 

Moreover, many original features have been preserved Dutch. These include the double-height ceilings, traditional tapestries, and marble fireplaces. You will also see touches of the hotel's rumored origin as a summer home for Tsar Nicolas II throughout this historic palace.
