Grand Hotel Kronenhof recently unveiled a major renovation to its public spaces as part of the property’s longstanding partnership with the award-winning French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, who has previously worked on the Four Seasons George V in Paris, The Savoy in London, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, and sister property Kulm Hotel St. Moritz.
Subtle yet luxurious changes have been made to bring the Neo-Baroque Grand Dame into the 21st century, while maintaining key historic elements.
Each newly renovated room has unique highlights and identities that guests can look forward to experiencing. Upon arriving at Grand Hotel Kronenhof, guests will enter a revitalized reception area that boasts new sliding doors etched in white and rose gold, which create a semi-transparent snowflake effect that reflects the winter season and immediately presents views of the grand lobby lounge. The inviting hotel lobby remains open and harmonious, with the historic center table and iconic chandelier still present. To ensure a residential feel, peaceful shades of blue and modern furnishings have been integrated throughout, which beautifully reflect the incredible mountain scenery seen from the large lobby windows.
The Kronenhof Bar has been completely redesigned and now features an eye-catching art piece, “Luster Angela” by Charles Paris Chez Rubelli, a stunning gold chandelier that resembles the historic Kronenhof crown. Intricate artworks inspired by the Swiss stone pine roots and custom-designed by artist Jane Puylagarde can be found on the varnish panels of the bar counter. In addition to the magnificent new art, deep colors, rich materials, and golden accents selected to reflect the magical hours of the evening are exhibited throughout the space.
The renovation of the Chimney Room has made the area much more residential. The original black chimney and Eames chairs remain, with new sleek features including Florence Knoll sofas, an opulent glass chandelier, and modern bookshelves that lend to a timeless residential library look. The soothing, calm living room is perfectly conducive to reading and dreaming in front of a real fireplace.
“We are so delighted to introduce our guests to another classic and timeless renovation by Pierre-Yves Rochon,” said Mr. Marc Eichenberger, General Manager of Grand Hotel Kronenhof. “Our longstanding partnership is one I am most proud of. This project wonderfully captures the essence of the Engadine through a harmony of colours that reflect the magnificent environment and architecture of the region.”
