Built in 1884 by Count De Renesse at the entrance to the Engadin valley, Maloja Palace is a historic neo-Renaissance palazzo set in 12 hectares of parkland beside Lake Sils, less than 15 minutes from St. Moritz. The palace's grand Ballroom and Dining Rooms can accommodate events of up to 700 guests.
Maloja Palace occupies the top of the Maloja Pass, where the Engadin valley begins its long descent from the high Alps toward Italy — a position that gives it commanding views in every direction and a sense of being at the edge of the world. Count De Renesse commissioned the building in 1884 in a neo-Renaissance style that has more in common with the great lakeside hotels of Lake Como than with alpine vernacular architecture, and the result is a palazzo that feels genuinely Italian in its ambition, set in 12 hectares of parkland beside Lake Sils.
The scale of the event spaces matches the building's ambition. The Ballroom is described as the ideal place for 'an extravagant ball with a belle époque atmosphere, or a fairy tale wedding' — and its capacity for up to 700 guests in combination with the Dining Rooms puts it in a different category from most Swiss venues. For smaller celebrations, the Corvatsch Lounge provides an intimate setting for private dinners and meetings. The hotel's 80 apartments — all recently renovated, all with kitchenettes — give it the feel of a private palazzo where groups can stay, dine, and celebrate without ever leaving the estate.
