History of the Gstaad Palace

Initially, Gstaad had no tourism, but the situation changed once the railway line connecting Montreux to Gstaad was completed on December 20, 1904. However, after completing the railway line, a secondary school teacher named Robert Steffen realized the luxurious hotel's potential in Oberbort.

Robert soon purchased a plot and started his search for investors. It took him eight years to convince investors, and the construction work began in April 1912. The construction continued for more than 1.5 years, and the hotel finished on December 8, 1913.

Albert Steudler and Hans Pünter were the first directors of the Gstaad Palace. The Palace had 165 rooms, and investors had decided to use the best quality materials for suites and rooms.

The Palace's first winter season was pretty successful. Hence, they decided to expand the ground floor in spring 1914. The Palace also witnessed an increase in tourist attention after the galas dinner with famous people. These include Louis Armstrong and Marlene Dietrich.
