150 Years of Engadine Hotel Tradition

The legendary Hotel Saratz in Pontresina is a place like no other. Situated in a 35,000-square-metre park, the establishment radiates Art Nouveau elegance and the warmth of the hosts. Most of the 93 rooms, family rooms and junior suites boast wonderful views into Val Roseg.
In the inspirational setting of a grand Fin-de-Siècle hotel, modern lifestyle and four-star-superior quality meet and are celebrated in a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere.

Lifestyle and vegan-vegetarian cuisine

The Art Nouveau Restaurant is the culinary heart of the hotel – a place to celebrate and enjoy, select local produce from the beautifully arranged breakfast buffet and, come evening, treat oneself to market-fresh à-la-carte dishes prepared by Kari Walker and his kitchen team.

Right next to it you will find the trendy «Giodi Vegetarian & Co.». Veggie and flexi lovers are meeting here to be pampered with vegan and vegetarian menues in the sylish resaurant or on the sheltered sun terrace in summer. The dishes can be added with meat or fish as “side vegetables”, if desired.

From the Sarazenen Bath to the summer pool

The focal point of the spa and wellness area is the oriental Sarazenen Bath, a modern interpretation of the hammam. The extensive spa facilities also include an indoor swimming pool, a sauna and steam bath, and guests can enjoy a range of massage and beauty treatments.

The hotel park is home to the Bagnera, the largest and highest-altitude outdoor swimming pool in the Engadine. It is heated to a pleasant 27°C from end of June to September. During the peak season, snacks and salads are served poolside by the Café Bagnera staff.

35,000 square metres of holiday fun

Space and time are true luxuries. There’s no lack of space at the Saratz, and the spacious hotel park beckons with recreation options galore: there’s a tennis court, natural running track, table tennis, chess, boccia and much more.

Children welcome!

The Saratz has a long tradition of welcoming families. Our younger guests are cared for by trained staff and we offer activities to suit all age groups.
The children can expend energy in the Robinson playground with its trampoline, tepee and sandpit.

Golf and biking

The grown-ups will probably prefer a proper round of golf at one of the region’s golf courses at Samedan and Zuoz (18 holes) or St Moritz (9 holes). Saratz guests receive a 20 percent green fee discount.
Those who favour mountain biking over golf can borrow one of the hotel’s complimentary Cannondale bikes to explore the lovely Engadine landscape.

Winter sports

Corviglia, Corvatsch or Diavolezza/Lagalb – in winter, our guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to superb skiing and other winter sports activities. The hotel shuttle bus runs free of charge between the hotel and the Corviglia ski region in Celerina. Sledding pros can enjoy an exhilarating run on the sled trails at Muottas Muragl and Preda/Bergün.

Sustainability

At the Hotel Saratz the use of sustainable energy and achieving a massive drop in carbon emissions is a priority. The Hotel Saratz has installed its own geothermal energy production system. Geothermal energy is extracted from a borehole sunk to a depth of 1347 metres below the hotel park – almost the altitude of Zurich. This is a Swiss record.

The generated thermal energy is not only used to heat the indoor pool and the spa and wellness area: it also covers around 60 percent of the hotel complex’s entire heating requirements, thus saving approximately 70,000 litres of heating oil per year, which corresponds with 180 tonnes of carbon emissions.
