Kempinski Palace Engelberg Titlis - Swiss Alps

Immediately after arrival, the historic building casts its spell over the guests. With inspiration from the mountains, carefully selected local materials such as wood and stone play a major role in the palace, mirroring in its design the subtle textures and colors of nature. High quality craftsmanship and traditional techniques have been used in a contemporary way while alpine motifs have been adopted and transformed. The successful Engelberg hotelier Eduard Cattani had his brother, the architect Arnold Cattani, realize the building in the late 19^th century and made it known far beyond the borders of Switzerland at the time. Today, the new hotel building in conjunction with the heritage-listed former "Europäischer Hof", which opened in 1904 as "Grandhotel Winterhaus", form a harmonious architectural whole where guests may suspend time in luxury and style.

Elegant rooms and suites - all with a unique mountain view

The 129 spacious rooms and suites are characterized by light colors and noble materials, such as brushed oak and sumptuous leather in warm shades of brown. Gentle shades of green and blue convey a feeling of fresh mountain air, playfully combining textures. This interplay of historical details, contemporary furnishings, such as box-spring beds from the Swiss manufacturer "Elite", and spectacular panoramic views of the mountains ensure a feel-good ambience in a remarkable class of its own.

Regional gastronomic highlights

With a flair for elegant European style and a service infused with the essence of local culture, the "Cattani Restaurant" has a laid-back informality. Although large with 120 seats indoors and 70 on the summer terrace, its casual, modern furniture and stylish accessories make it feel familiar and snug. Always putting the focus on the unique view, the peaceful terrace invites guests to lose themselves in the moment. The menu features seasonal produce from local producers, carefully prepared by executive chef Michéle Müller, notably one of the few female chefs in a Swiss five-star-superior hotel, who constantly seeks out new culinary experiences to please and surprise guests. Historical décor and dark colors revive the Roaring Twenties at "The Palace Bar" and the "Cigar Lounge" - both places where people in the know gather to meet and relax, drawn by its charm and exclusive club atmosphere. Located directly adjacent to the lobby lies the bright "Wintergarden" with its own terrace: the perfect place for the traditional Afternoon Tea - a signature service of the hotel.
