The Engadin Collection

Two grand hotels anchor opposite ends of the same high-alpine valley, roughly four to five kilometres apart, linked by a short road and the Rhaetian Railway. At the lake end, in St Moritz, stands the Kulm, 150 rooms across 10 room types and 9 suites, the building where winter tourism began, with seven restaurants, a spa and a golf course. At the glacier end, in Pontresina, the Grand Hotel Kronenhof faces the Roseg Valley beneath the Morteratsch and Bernina peaks, its 112 rooms and 11 suites named for the summits around it. You can book both in one stay. Both sit near 1,800 metres, with check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00.
