Four Seasons to Operate Historic Park Gstaad Hotel Post-Renovation

Four Seasons has been appointed to manage the iconic Park Gstaad Hotel in Switzerland. The hotel is undergoing extensive renovations led by Squircle Capital under the design vision of Joseph Dirand. It is expected to reopen as The Park Gstaad, a Four Seasons Hotel, in the 2026-2027 winter season.

The Park Gstaad, established in 1910, was the first five-star hotel in Gstaad. It is owned by philanthropist Dona Bertarelli and is a major landmark within one of Europe’s most popular mountain destinations.

Four Seasons President Bart Carnahan expressed excitement about entering this exclusive market with such a notable property. He also acknowledged the potential to combine the property’s legacy with Four Seasons’ service excellence to provide a unique luxury experience.

Dona Bertarelli echoed these sentiments, stating that she’s eager to reveal the property’s transformation into a Four Seasons experience. The Park Gstaad holds a special place in the region’s heritage and she believes this collaboration will bring modern elegance to the hotel while still respecting its legacy.

The renovated Park Gstaad will continue its tradition of excellence while incorporating Four Seasons’ globally recognized services and experiences. The hotel will feature 75 rooms and suites, including luxury Penthouse Residences, which will be available for purchase. The property will also offer unique restaurant and bar concepts, a destination spa and fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and facilities for children, among other amenities.

Gstaad is a top ski destination and exclusive mountain resort region, offering a wide range of wellness, nature, and cultural activities throughout the year. The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel, will join the Four Seasons collection of heritage properties in Europe and its collection of alpine properties around the world.
