A new chapter in luxury hospitality is unfolding in the Swiss Alps. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has been appointed to manage Park Gstaad, one of Europe’s most storied five-star hotels, following an extensive refurbishment led by renowned interior designer Joseph Dirand.
Originally opened in 1910, this legendary property has long been a retreat for discerning travelers drawn to Gstaad’s world-class ski slopes, refined culture, and timeless elegance. Now, with Four Seasons’ signature service and design philosophy, The Park Gstaad is set to seamlessly blend heritage with modern sophistication, elevating its status as one of the most sought-after alpine destinations.
The transformation will unveil 75 exquisitely redesigned rooms and suites, including exclusive Penthouse Residences that offer a rare opportunity for private ownership. Guests will experience a curated collection of fine dining venues and bar concepts, alongside an ultra-luxurious spa, fitness center, and bespoke wellness experiences. With ski, bike, and hiking services available, The Park Gstaad will redefine year-round alpine retreats, seamlessly merging adventure with indulgence. Located just steps from Gstaad’s prestigious designer boutiques and Michelin-starred dining, the hotel will serve as a gateway to the region’s haute couture, fine gastronomy, and cultural experiences.
“Gstaad has long been a favorite for luxury travelers, and we are thrilled to introduce The Park Gstaad as a Four Seasons Hotel, bringing world-class hospitality to this exceptional destination,” says Bart Carnahan, President of Global Business Development, Four Seasons.
As this iconic hotel prepares for its grand reopening in the 2026-2027 winter season, it marks a new era for luxury alpine hospitality, further solidifying Four Seasons’ presence in the world’s most prestigious mountain retreats.
