CARLTON HOTEL ST. MORITZ
History & Story
The Carlton Hotel has a long and colourful history: In 1913, the doors of this impressive building were opened for the first time. At christmas of the same year the hotel welcomed its first guests as the fifth five star hotel in this elegant holiday resort. According to legend the property was originally planned as summer residence for the czar Nicolaj II., grandson of the czar Alexander II. Also Carlo Rampazzi, supervising interior designer for the complete refurbishment in 2006/2007, used the russian legend as his artistic inspiration, despite knowing that it was not more than a legend. Between 1914 and 1987 there has been a constant change of ownership, also due to difficult times during world war I and II. In 1987 the Carlton finally found a new owner, who not only had the courage but also showed the necessary resilience to re-instate the hotel as a top property within the competitive set. Since then the Carlton Hotel has gained its place among the most attractive hotels in switzerland. Its unique location in St. Moritz’s sunniest spot overlooking the lake makes the Carlton one of the most impressive hotels.
