GRACE LA MARGNA ST MORITZ: A Legend Reborn
Synonymous with glitz and grandeur, St Moritz is undoubtedly the most exclusive of Alpine retreats.

Now there is a new hotel for visitors to rest their weary limbs after a day of skiing and hitting the boutiques; introducing, GRACE LA MARGNA, the first hotel opening in St Moritz in an astounding 50 years.

Hotel Château du Grand-Lucé: Serenity in the Loire Valley
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the sheer elegance of this 18th-century château, once the summer retreat of Baron Jacques Pineau de Viennay. Meticulously restored, it whispers stories of a bygone era whilst offering every indulgence a modern traveller could wish for. Stepping through its grand doors felt like entering a living museum, yet it is far from austere. The neoclassical architecture by Mathieu de Bayeux exudes sophistication, but what struck us most was the château’s surprising sense of warmth. American designer Timothy Corrigan’s restoration has been nothing short of masterful, and Paul and Shannon Wehsener have subtly reimagined the interiors with impeccable taste. Every room tells a tale, with Pierre Frey and de Gournay wallpapers adorning the walls, seamlessly paired with both antique treasures and modern comforts. The guest rooms are a sanctuary in themselves. We stayed in one of the 19 individually appointed rooms, where the original oak parquet floors and high ceilings enveloped us in serenity. The large casement windows opened onto stunning views of the formal French gardens – waking up to the sight of manicured hedgerows glimmering with dew was an experience in itself. The bed, dressed in the finest Pratesi linens, felt like sinking into a cloud, while the marble-clad bathroom with its clawfoot tub was the perfect retreat after a day spent exploring.
