It had been announced for some time and finally took place in September: the opening of the Grace La Margna in St. Moritz. Of course, the building right next to the train station isn't entirely new; the iconic La Margna was renovated over several years. It was also given a modern extension. The result is a house of elegance and grace. It proves that luxurious ski hotels in Europe do not necessarily have to be alpine chic. The ski lifts are just a few meters away from here. And the hotel itself pampers guests with several restaurants and a spa covering over 700 square meters.
