Hotel Baur au Lac | Zürich
The hotel opened in 1844 and has remained in the same family ever since. It melds impeccable old world grandeur – the lobby is panelled in wood and features a traditional kiosk – with tasteful flamboyance that plays out in jewel colours, oversized porcelain vases, modern oil paintings and beautiful flowers curated by the in-house florist. In Le Hall afternoon tea is served among smart topiary, Louis XVI-style velvet armchairs and a tumbling sparkle of chandelier.

The Alpina | Gstaad, Switzerland
The first luxury hotel to be built in Gstaad for a century. The hotel was built on the site of the Grand Hotel Alpina, which was demolished on April 11, 1995. Opposition from local residents to the building of a new hotel took thirteen years to overcome. Local planning regulations dictated the style of the hotel, which had to be similar to the local three-storey 'Simmentaler' architectural style.

Badrutt's Palace | St. Moritz, Switzerland
Built in 1896 by Caspar Badrutt, the man credited with bringing the Brits to St Moritz, the Gothic-style landmark Badrutt’s Palace maintains its sense of history. Much of the furniture in the ecclesiastical lobby with its six-metre-high ceiling is original, as is the 19th-century Italian art. The traditional feel permeates most of the common areas, including the breakfast salon and timber-beamed La Coupole restaurant, formerly Europe’s first indoor tennis hall.

Lausanne Palace | Switzerland
The hotel dates from 1915 and was the last of Switzerland’s high-end palace hotels to open during the tourism boom that began in the 19th century. Visiting today, it feels as though every decade of its century-long history is preserved within its walls. There’s the elegant Belle Époque style of the 1915 Bar and foyer, with its marble columns and chandeliers, and the traditional Parisian bistro that evokes 1940s France with its green leather banquettes and wood panelling.

The Dolder Grand | Zürich
The Dolder originally opened in 1899 as a retreat from the city, but went on to attract illustrious guests including Winston Churchill, Roger Moore and Sophia Loren. Nowadays, its reputation as one of Switzerland's best hotels continues, in part thanks to two Norman Foster-designed wings of steel, stone and tinted glass that sweep, wave-like, around the shuttered cream-and-merlot Belle Époque building in a glossy interplay of old and new.

Hotel Seehof | Zürich
Set close to the opera house and the promenade that parallels the lake, the small design Hotel Seehof is set in an original 1930s-era private house. The hotel retains the original russet-colored exterior, but the interior decor is angular and efficient, with stark white walls and the kind of black furniture that you'd expect in a trendy art gallery. The angularity is softened, in both the public areas and the bedrooms, with varnished and beautifully crafted oak floors.

25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse
This hip hotel is located in the equally hip District 4 of Zurich, just a short walk from the main train station. The hotel has an eclectic style: zany bric-a-brac, including model boats, flamenco dancers and giant Duplo bricks, is arranged around the front desk, while truck tarpaulin bags, made by cult Zurich company FREITAG, dangle from the ceiling.

Crans Ambassador | Crans-Montana, Switzerland
Many hoteliers, faced with the task of designing a hotel in an Alpine setting as awe-inspiring as Switzerland’s Crans-Montana, would opt for something safe and unremarkable, and convince themselves they’re letting the landscape take center stage. Crans Ambassador, on the other hand, takes a more active approach; this building aims to complement the majesty of the Alps, not cower before it, and thanks to its rakish angles and its monumental modern spaces, you’d have to judge it a success.

Cervo Mountain Resort | Zermatt, Switzerland

Hotel Zermama | Switzerland
Ski hotels were a bit late to get swept up in the boutique-hotel wave. And Switzerland, despite notable pockets of creativity, has a reputation for conservatism that’s not entirely undeserved. So a hotel like Zermama comes as something of a shock. Not just its modern style, putting the bare wood and organic textures of the Alpine lodge idiom to striking novel use. But also its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, its youthful attitude, and even its ultra-casual name.

Matterhorn FOCUS | Zermatt, Switzerland
The hotel has its own idiosyncratic design, which is perhaps best described as modern rustic chic, with contemporary riffs on a lodge-style building that makes the most of the mountain views with lots of floor-to-ceiling glass. The interiors and furnishings bear the playful hallmark of local architect and artist Heinz Julen, who combines post-industrial elements with muted colours and flamboyant, quirky touches.
