Grace Hotels

What Grace Hotels does

Grace Hotels operates as a luxury hospitality softbrand, licensing the GRACE HOTELS name and logo to independent hotel owners globally. The group holds exclusive trademark rights to the brand in Switzerland, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Israel, Thailand, and other jurisdictions. The operating legal entity is Grace St. Moritz GmbH, Via Serlas 5, 7500 St. Moritz, Switzerland. The brand's only physically disclosed property is Grace La Margna St. Moritz, a 5-star superior boutique hotel operating 365 days per year with 74 rooms and suites split between a modern Grace Wing (27 rooms) and a historic Art Nouveau La Margna Wing (47 rooms). The property targets affluent travelers and serves secondary segments including families, wellness seekers, food and wine enthusiasts, active lifestyle travelers, and art and culture connoisseurs.

The flagship property operates an integrated luxury product stack under one roof: five F&B concepts (THE VIEW — Mediterranean, Beefbar St. Moritz — Monaco-licensed, Stüvetta Moritz — Swiss Alpine, N/5 THE BAR, Living Room — afternoon tea), a 700m² wellness facility with a 20-meter pool and treatment rooms, a 120m² MORITZVILLE Kids Club, and curated experiences including photography retreats and festival partnerships. The technology stack is conventional hospitality SaaS — SevenRooms for restaurant reservations, e-guma for voucher management, Google Analytics/Tag Manager/DoubleClick for digital marketing, and TrustYou/HolidayCheck/TripAdvisor for review aggregation — with no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or app. Distribution runs through direct channels (proprietary booking engine, concierge phone, email, walk-in traffic from the central St. Moritz location opposite the train station) supplemented by Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Fine Hotels + Resorts (American Express), Mr & Mrs Smith, and Capital One Travel. Auxiliary offices in Munich (brand identity, A Manual GmbH) and Ummendorf (web management, workmatrix GmbH) handle outsourced non-core functions.

Revenue is generated across five streams: accommodation (74 rooms, rate-on-application in CHF, includes breakfast, spa access, public transport, and summer cable cars); food and beverage across five outlets; spa and wellness (treatments, CHF 90 day access, memberships); gift vouchers sold via e-guma (valid 2 years); and sports/activities including ski rental through Skiservice Corvatsch, ski passes, and golf packages (CHF 255 Engadine golf package). Pricing tiers span flexible rates with 56-day cancellation and 10% non-refundable deposit, non-refundable discounted rates, and 1-to-30-day cancellation windows. Ancillary unit pricing includes CHF 40/night parking, CHF 55/day pets, and CHF 55/day ski passes. The CLUB5 loyalty program (5% kickback on direct bookings) was launched in 2025 alongside spa memberships, both signaling a deliberate shift toward recurring-revenue mechanics. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries.
