The Kulm Hotel St. Moritz is set to be the new culinary hub of the Engadin this winter with the opening of three restaurants in partnership with some of the most talented chefs and creatives from around the world. Michelin-starred chef, Mauro Colagreco takes the helm at the Kulm Country Club; rising star of the British culinary scene, Tom Booton takes up residency at the legendary Sunny Bar, and Luke Edward Hall reveals his magical designs at the new Peruvian destination restaurant, Amaru, in partnership with Peruvian chef, Claudia Canessa. The Kulm has also appointed ‘Directeur d’ambiance’ Arman Naféei who has curated a bespoke music programme.
“The Kulm is a bastion of tradition, but it is also the home of creativity and innovation
in hospitality – it is always our desire to work with cultural pioneers who can help create
a sense of magical escapism for our guests.” Notes Heinz Hunkeler, General Manager of The Kulm Hotel, St. Moritz, “We are proud to partner with these leading creatives and to create an unforgettable winter season ahead.”
The new Peruvian restaurant, Amaru, offers a sense of the unexpected right in the heart of the Alps. With menus crafted by Peruvian chef, Claudia Canessa, and fresh interior designs by British artist and designer, Luke Edward Hall, guests can enjoy sharing dishes made with simple but beautifully prepared ingredients, surrounded by a magical setting. The menu concept is based on the idea of sharing ‘street food’ dishes, while the interior design is inspired by the glamor of St. Moritz. A perfect blend of the surrounding natural beauty of the Engadin, infused with elements of Peru and topped off with a stunning mural, hand-painted on the vaulted ceiling. Amaru is open Tuesday to Saturday, serving dinner from 7:00PM to 10:00PM.
Taking the helm of the Sir Norman Foster designed Kulm Country Club, Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco introduces a relaxed, elegant concept with exceptional, high-quality ingredients prepared over elements of fire on the Josper oven. The re-imagined spaces celebrate the natural light and beauty of the surrounding mountains and create a relaxed yet festive atmosphere. Guests can enjoy dishes prepared on the embers, grill or charcoal, which will then be served family style. Music programming including curated analog sounds and featured artists exclusively invited by ‘Directeur d’ambiance’ Arman Naféei, add to the overall ambience . Kulm Country Club is open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner until 10:00PM.
The legendary Sunny Bar welcomes the talented British Chef, Tom Booton, with an energetic new approach that celebrates the heritage and tradition of the oldest sports bar in the Alps, by infusing Swiss and British ingredients. Taking inspiration from the concept of the ‘Gastro-pub’, Tom’s menus feature hearty dishes, elevated with a sophisticated interpretation, such as Tom’s Toad in the Hole. Sunny Bar welcomes guests for dinner Friday to Tuesday evenings, from 7:00PM to 10:00PM.
“We embrace a symphony of flavors, a grand culinary journey where every dish tells a tale of excellence. We have the widest variety of cuisines and tastes on offer across all our restaurants” shares Mauro Taufer, Executive Chef at The Kulm Hotel. “Collaborating with the finest chefs worldwide, we craft an experience where every palate finds its masterpiece, ensuring tomorrow’s delight surpasses today’s expectations.”
The Kulm Hotel’s culinary offering also extends to a local favorite, Pizzeria restaurant, which features a new state-of-the-art show kitchen and striking wine cabinet display.
