History
Suvretta House moves with
the times. Tradition has a future.
Six generations of hoteliers have managed Suvretta House during the
nearly one hundred years of its history; and each has left its imprint
on the exclusive house. The hotel has undergone various phases of regeneration
dictated by the changing requirements of its demanding cosmopolitan
guests. The integration of an unrivalled wellness paradise was one milestone,
as was the creation of the ConBrio banqueting complex or the total renovation
of the guest rooms. Constant change does not exclude tradition. Suvretta
House will always be a place that upholds the values of hospitality.

The year was 1911. Hotel pioneer Anton Sebastian Bon had long been thinking of building a grand hotel with views of the lakes Champfèr and Silvaplana on the Chasellas Plateau, not far from St. Moritz. The time had come to carry out his dream.
The foundations were laid on 22 April 1911 and over the following year and a half a palace-like, stately building destined to achieve worldwide fame was erected on this beautiful spot - Suvretta House was born.
The hotel was inaugurated on 21 December 1912 with great pomp and circumstance. Anton Sebastian Bon's dream had become reality.
The Belle Epoque grandeur of the exterior continues into the interior of the building. No expense was spared in providing guests with the very best in comfort and a unique ambience.
And they came. Guests travelled from all over the world to be treated like royalty and enjoy life to the full.
Over the years, celebrities from the worlds of theatre, cinema, politics and business have chosen to meet at Suvretta House: King Faruk of Egypt, Crown Prince Akihito, the Shah of Persia, Gregory Peck, Evita Perón and many more.
Sport and fun on snow and ice, glittering balls, a relaxed environment, luxury and discretion - these attributes still characterise Suvretta House today
Times have changed, but Suvretta House has remained true to itself. The spirit of its founder lives on.
