Four Seasons will operate the Park Gstaad hotel in Switzerland once the property reopens following extensive renovations, which are already underway.
Park Gstaad, located in one of Europe’s best known mountain destinations, became the first five-star hotel in the destination when its doors opened in 1910. Owned by philanthropist, investor and sportswoman Dona Bertarelli, the property is undergoing a full-scale refurbishment led by Squircle Capital and interior designer Joseph Dirand. The property is anticipated to reopen as The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel in time for the 2026-27 winter season.
Following renovations, The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel, will reopen with 75 rooms and suites. This includes a collection of luxury Penthouse Residences managed by Four Seasons that will be available for purchase.
French interior designer Joseph Dirand, who also designed the interiors of Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, will lead the full refurbishment of the interiors, introducing modern touches while paying homage to the historic alpine setting. The hotel will also offer an array of restaurant and bar concepts, as well as a destination spa and fitness center, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Additional amenities are expected to include indoor and outdoor meetings and event space, a tennis court, ski and bike services, Kids For All Seasons facilities, and an ice rink in the winter season.
Good to know: An upgrade will also be made to the hotel employees' accommodation.
Gstaad is recognized as a top ski destination and an exclusive mountain resort region preferred by the world’s most discerning travelers. Gstaad is also highly regarded for its range of wellness, nature and cultural activities throughout the year, culinary offerings, and its authentic Alpine charm and history. During the winter months, Gstaad offers access to 136 miles of ski slopes at altitudes of up to 9,842 feet, with equally beautiful settings in the summer that are well-suited for hiking, mountain biking and golf.
Gstaad is a two-hour drive from Geneva and is also accessible via train and plane. It can be reached via Bern airport, and Gstaad’s train station is a five-minute drive from the hotel.
