The Palace Spa leans into traditional wellness rather than trend‐driven treatments. Facilities include an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and calm spaces for deep massages and classic facials. Service mirrors the hotel’s old‐world rhythm: discreet, polished and incredibly attentive. A loyal following of long‐term guests returns year after year. Access is mainly for hotel residents, with limited day spa availability outside peak periods.

Stripes of umbrellas and loungers line the Olympic‐sized pool. Lanes fit active swimmers, while families and sunbathers spread out on lawns. A five‐metre diving platform also adds playful competition with the kids. Champagne on ice and croque monsieurs are the go‐to order at lunchtime. The combination of open‐air swimming, sun, and dramatic views makes it a lively, social summer spot.

Often dubbed Gstaad’s “living room,” The Lobby Bar at Gstaad Palace sits just off the garden terrace with classic low‑slung seating and polished wood shine. It’s the obvious rendezvous for an aperitif or nightcap – think club sandwiches and signature cocktails alongside fine Swiss wines. Bartenders craft classics from Martinis to Old Fashioneds with expert mixing technique, while live piano or jazz sets fill the room as the evening rolls on.
