Gstaad Palace is a family-owned hotel in the Saanenland region of Switzerland, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, whose four event venues and dedicated team host weddings, elopements and celebrations for up to 300 guests.
Gstaad Palace has been welcoming guests for over a century, and the Scherz family has owned it for three generations. The hotel describes its appeal as authentic hospitality, genuine family spirit and a long tradition, set in the Saanenland region, and it is one of the Leading Hotels of the World. The building itself looks like a castle, and the site likens its daily life to a story in which guests add their own chapter. Gstaad is two to two and a half hours by car from the international airports in Geneva and Zurich, the local airport is 5 km from the hotel, and staff will collect guests from the station in Gstaad. The hotel keeps to a winter season, from 15 December 2026 to 7 March 2027, and a summer season, from 20 June to 5 September 2027.
For weddings, the team offers advice from the start on booking the venue, choosing menus and drinks, decoration, the wedding cake and a royal limousine service, and manages the day from behind the scenes. Couples may plan a large wedding or an elopement. The hotel has four versatile venues, from a conference for 10 people to a ball for 300 guests, and event rooms seat between 10 and 300 people with food and drink included. Alternatively, a rent-a-Palace option gives exclusive use of the hotel for a limited time.
