A new chapter for the Kulm Hotel

2025

Kulm Alpine Sports Lounge & Boutiques

Designed by Foster + Partners and unveiled in December 2025, the Alpine Sports Lounge & Boutique reimagines the traditional ski room, combining state-of-the-art equipment, a bar, a ski concierge service and a sports boutique. From December 2026, a new boutique and foyer by interior designer Eric Egan on the same lower level will create a central meeting point at the Kulm and provide access to various restaurants.

2026

Corviglia Ballroom

The historic Corviglia event spaces will be reimagined by Eric Egan as a new multifunctional ballroom designed for celebrations, weddings, gatherings and major events. Flexible by design yet unmistakably Kulm in character, the Corviglia Ballroom will provide an exceptional setting for occasions of different scales and formats.

2027

A new arrival experience

The arrival at the Kulm will be reimagined with a new entrance by Foster + Partners. Within the hotel, Eric Egan will redesign the existing reception and concierge areas, respecting the historic architecture and established flow of the spaces while introducing his distinctive approach to the interiors.

2027

A Mongiardino Lobby Lounge

The much-loved Mongiardino Lobby Lounge will be renovated and extended, creating a generous heart of the hotel for meeting, relaxing and spending time throughout the day. New south- and lake-facing terraces will extend the experience outdoors, with exceptional views across St. Moritz and the Engadin landscape.

2027

A restaurant and winter garden

A completely new lake-facing restaurant will become one of the hotel’s defining spaces, complemented by an elegant new winter garden. Designed to make the most of the Kulm’s setting, it will bring together grand hotel tradition, contemporary comfort and expansive views across St. Moritz.

2027

Altitude Bar and Smoking Lounge

Redesigned by the imaginative Montreal-born interior designer Martin Brûlé, the Altitude Bar will remain in its familiar location. Martin will also design a new Smoking Lounge. Both spaces will become destinations for delightful hours spent indoors, with an atmosphere that is proudly elegant, bold and vibrant, as ever at the Kulm.

2030

Shopping Arcade & surrounding works

Designed by Foster + Partners, the new shopping arcade will transform street life on the Via Maistra, extending the heart of St. Moritz for visitors, locals and guests. Surrounding landscape design and reimagined gardens will connect the Kulm Country Club with the hotel.

Kulm Masterplan

The Kulm has always evolved. Since its beginnings in St. Moritz, each generation has contributed to the hotel, responding to the way people travel, gather and experience the mountains while preserving the spirit that is the Kulm’s own.

Between 2025 and 2030, we are renewing the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz in stages under the Kulm Masterplan. Our aim is to modernise the hotel for the way guests travel today, while keeping its heritage intact. Working with Foster + Partners, alongside interior designers Eric Egan and Martin Brûlé, we are carefully reimagining a collection of the Kulm’s most important spaces, celebrating the character and history of the hotel while creating a new expression of Alpine hospitality for generations to come. The result will not be a new Kulm, but a renewed Kulm: more generous, more connected to its extraordinary surroundings and ready for its next chapter.

Summer 2027: a pause
In summer 2027, the hotel will close temporarily for the most significant transformation in its history. We will reopen in time for the winter season 2027/28.

Built on what is already here
Sustainability guides this project from the first decision, not the last. Ten themes shape the work, among them energy efficiency, water conservation, mobility and our impact on the local community. In practice, that means reusing the existing structures wherever possible, choosing energy-efficient systems and sustainable materials, and designing to keep the ecological footprint as small as we can. We work with local craftspeople and use local materials wherever we can, such as Alpine stone pine and granite. The most responsible building is often the one already standing, so we are renewing the Kulm rather than replacing it.
