"The Kempinski's 1864 dining hall still cooks Swiss-French classics with 14-point discipline — book the rack of lamb for a team dinner."
About Les Saisons
Seventy Swiss francs buys breakfast here, and outside guests reserve it like a restaurant. The buffet at Les Saisons has a following independent of the hotel above it, which tells you most of what you need to know about how seriously this kitchen takes the unglamorous meals.
The room is the main dining hall of the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains at Via Mezdi 27 in St. Moritz-Bad, the spa quarter below the village where the original Grand Hôtel des Bains opened in 1864. Dinner is the quieter act: Swiss-French à la carte, daily from 19:00 to 22:00, in a hall built for a clientele that took its waters seriously and its dinners more so.
The Kitchen
The hotel's kitchens answer to executive chef Jonas Starkowski. He inherited a house with a reputation to defend: through the Matthias Schmidberger years Les Saisons carried 14 GaultMillau points, and after the much-discussed 2022 staff turnover, GaultMillau's 2025 Switzerland guide still rates the hotel's fine-dining sibling Cà d'Oro at 17 points. Les Saisons is the broad-shouldered everyday room of the same house, cooking Swiss classics with a French accent for hotel guests and the village alike.
The set-piece is the rack of lamb seasoned with Engadine mountain herbs, the dish the hotel itself leads with, backed by truffle plates in season and a cellar the floor staff actually know plate by plate. The breakfast buffet is the other discipline: CHF 70 to external guests in winter, reservation required, served 07:00 to 11:00 daily, and treated by the brigade as a service in its own right rather than a chore before the real cooking starts. Where the village's best French tables chase invention, this kitchen defends repertoire.
The Room
A high-ceilinged grand-hotel hall with tall window bays onto the hotel park and the larch slopes above St. Moritz-Bad. Sound level is conversation-easy at dinner and pleasantly brisk at the breakfast peak; lighting runs candle-bright in the evening. Tables are large, spacing is hotel-generous, and the service brigade keeps the formality the room asks for without insisting guests match it. Dress is smart casual; in February jackets outnumber sweaters. The same hall seats couples at window bays and a table of twelve with equal ease.
Best for a Team Dinner
Book Les Saisons for a team dinner because the hall absorbs a table of ten without strain, the à la carte format spares a group the forced pace of a tasting menu, and the SevenRooms book still holds slots when the village independents are gone six weeks out in February. Pair the dinner with a morning return: the CHF 70 buffet doubles as the best working-breakfast venue on the Bad side of town. The wider field is in our St. Moritz dining guide 2026, and the global ranking in best restaurants for a team dinner.
Not for
Not for chasing stars. The ambitious cooking in this hotel happens at Cà d'Oro; Les Saisons is the dependable grand-hotel room, not a destination tasting counter.
Frequently Asked
Is Les Saisons worth it?
For breakfast, emphatically: the CHF 70 buffet is a destination in its own right and outside guests reserve for it. Dinner is dependable Swiss-French cooking in one of the great rooms of St. Moritz-Bad, worth booking when you want the grandeur of the 1864 hall without committing the whole evening to the tasting menu at Cà d'Oro upstairs.
How much does dinner at Les Saisons cost?
Dinner is à la carte rather than fixed-menu, so the bill follows your ordering and the hotel publishes no set tasting price. The hard figure the house does publish is breakfast: CHF 70 per person for external guests in winter, reservation required. Expect grand-hotel St. Moritz pricing in line with its $$$ tier, with the service charge already folded into Swiss bills.
What is the dress code at Les Saisons?
Smart casual, applied with Swiss tact. At dinner in high season most men wear jackets and nobody is turned away for skipping the tie; ski kit passes at the breakfast buffet but reads wrong after dark. The room sets the tone on its own, since high ceilings and white linen tend to make guests dress up rather than down.
How do I reserve a table at Les Saisons?
Through SevenRooms via the hotel's site, or by phone on +41 81 838 3838. Dinner runs daily 19:00 to 22:00, breakfast 07:00 to 11:00. In February, the Engadine's tightest month, our St. Moritz dining guide works on six weeks of lead time across the village; the hotel dining rooms are the easier book, the independents the harder one.
Is Les Saisons good for a team dinner?
Yes. Book it: the hall seats large parties without theatre, à la carte keeps every diner in control of their own evening, and St. Moritz-Bad puts the team five minutes from the Signal lift for the morning after. For the celebratory blow-out instead, take the group to Talvo in Champfèr.
