About Kempinski Palace Engelberg – Titlis Swiss Alps 

“Embrace Swissness” - On June 25, 2021, Kempinski Palace Engelberg was the first international five star-superior hotel to open in central Switzerland's largest winter and summer holiday destination. The successful Engelberg hotelier Eduard Cattani (1841 – 1908) had his brother, the architect Arnold Cattani (1846 – 1921), design and build the historic building, which was known far beyond the borders of Switzerland at the time. Together with the new six-storey hotel building, the listed hotel, which opened in 1904 as the “Grandhotel Winterhaus” now forms a consummate architectural unit. The 129 rooms and suites offer state-of-the-art facilities as well as a unique view
of the breathtaking mountain landscape. Culinary variety is provided by the signature “Cattani
restaurant” featuring also a large summer terrace, “The Palace Bar” with “Cigar Lounge” and the
“Wintergarden” with regional and seasonal products. A unique 880 sq m rooftop spa with infinity
pool and views over the mountain panorama, as well as a modern event area with nine conference
rooms and the listed Kursaal* for up to 1,000 guests round off the diverse range of facilities. The
hotel is conveniently and easily accessible all year round by car, train or in around 75 minutes by
car via Zurich airport.
