Assouline ST Moritz Chic Nestled in Switzerland's Engadine Alpine valley, St. Moritz stands out among world-famous ski resorts for its elusive charm. Home to the winter residence of celebrities such as Gunter Sachs, Gianni Agnelli, Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, few places in the world manage to bring together the greatest names in film, art, and fashion every year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock's favorite haunts, the hidden parties at Badrutt's Palace, where the nobility revel, and the natural beauty, village charm, and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz also offers a tour of its special events, from the Winter Olympics to the Snow Polo World Cup, the summer Jazz Festival, and the British Classic Car Meeting. Here, creatives and royalty relax on the leather benches of El Paradiso, sip champagne on long walks on the frozen lake, and enjoy coffee and cake at the centuries-old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable charm and will continue to be an elegant retreat for all who call it a second home.
