Club Grand Hôtel & Palace

Since 1984, we have pursued a clear vision: to preserve the traditional significance of Grand Hotels while creating new perspectives for their future.

What began as a shared idea has grown into a dedicated community passionately committed to historic hotel culture and new guest markets. Learn more about our roots, our values, and the commitment that continues to drive us today.

Our History

Our Commitment

We are actively committed to opening up new guest markets for our member hotels and sustainably strengthening their visibility. Through presentations, targeted presence at events, and our continuous networking within the Swiss hotel industry, we effectively position our members in the relevant environment. At the same time, we provide them with access to our unique historical archive and support them in bringing their own history to life. In this way, we combine reach, network, and heritage to create tangible added value for each member.

An Evening Dedicated to Excellence: Vernissage of the 150 Best Hotels in Zurich

This year’s vernissage of the 150 Best Hotels, curated by Andrin Willi, once again provided an impressive stage for the industry’s most outstanding properties.

Networking Event in Basel

At the networking event in Basel, it became clear what truly matters today: finding direction in a world full of possibilities. In his keynote speech, Janik Tapella demonstrated why trust and recognizable quality have become the decisive differentiating factor.

Hospitality Summit

We will be at the Hospitality Summit of Hôtellerie Suisse in Zermatt on June 3rd and 4th and look forward to engaging conversations.

To me, grand hotels are more than buildings or brands.

More than 100 grand and palace hotels shape Switzerland’s hotel landscape. More than 90% of them are members of Club Grand Hôtel & Palace. COO Janik Tapella explains why the association is set to continue growing.
