The Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina, with a history reaching back to 1848, has always been an elegant destination. The listed building features the best preserved neo-Baroque structure of all the Grand Hotels in the Alps and was elected ‘GaultMillau Hotel of the year’ in 2008. The 112 vast rooms and suites enchant with their exceptional views of the Alps and glaciers. The Kronenhof Spa with swimming pool and modern fitness centre spreading over more than 2,000 sq. m. offers excellent amenities. The different restaurants of the Grand Hotel Kronenhof guarantee wide gastronomic variety. Dining in the Grand-Restaurant, one of Switzerland’s most beautiful hotel-restaurants, savouring a candle-lit dinner in the ethnic gourmet restaurant Kronenstübli (16 GaultMillau points), or enjoying the sun during a light lunch, or a drink on the wooden terrace of the Pavilion – all this is part of the holiday experience for Kronenhof-guests.
Master chef Bernd Schützelhofer
The Austrian master chef Bernd Schützelhofer started his training at Höchst in Austria and was soon awarded a gold medal at the international professional contest IBO as the final winner among all the chefs. His professional career began at the Kulm Hotel, St. Moritz before he moved on to gain further experience at the seven-star luxury hotel Burj al Arab in Dubai, at the five-star design Side Hotel in Hamburg, and with Martin Dalsass, the 2004 chef of the year. Numerous engagements followed in the four and five-star segment before he decided to return to the Engadine. As the executive chef, he now refines the classical cuisine at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof with innovative methods and creative ideas. Awarded 16 GaultMillau points and two toques, together with his team he restored the high standards of the traditional gourmet restaurant Kronenstübli in next to no time after the reopening.
At the 2011 St. Moritz Gourmet Festival Bernd Schützelhofer receives guest chef Thomas Bühner.
