My St Moritz Switzerland kosher Grand Hotel Kempinski weekend.
Introduction: We had a bar mitzvah in London on Sunday night so we thought let’s make a little trip out of it and go somewhere for the weekend. We went to Switzerland and then to London on Sunday.
For a very long time we heard great things about the summer program in Kempinski hotel and we couldn’t wait to try it. We went the first day of the 9 days. It’s the quietest time of the season. They are very expensive but we figured just for the weekend we will try it out and see what they have to offer for this price.
We booked them for three nights. The charge per night is $850. We were there from Thursday till Sunday morning.

Day of Travel
We booked Swiss Business class flight# LX19 from EWR to ZRH we left 9:55PM and arrived at 11:40AM.
The flight was great; it wasn’t our first time with them. We had a few jewish families in business class with us, and the flight went very fast. Once we landed we had to wait for our suitcase over an hour due to technical issues.

By the time we got to the car rental was 1pm. It took about 10 minutes to get a car and we were on our way!
The way from the airport till our hotel in St. Moritz is 2 hours and 40 minutes. The weather was gorgeous, the views are beautiful. We made a stop to buy
some drinks, then stopped again to make some more pictures. We couldn’t just take it all in at once.

We got to our hotel about 4pm. When you check in you get some lemon mint water. The hotel is beautiful and the nicest in St. Moritz. They told us where and when davening is, where the meals are served and the timing. They also have their own little market with kosher food and every day you get $20.00 per person of spending money. They had a few kind of snacks, chocolate, candies, cookies, drinks, ice cream.
At check-in they gave us this.

Since we were only there till Sunday and wanted to make the most of our stay we right away headed to the concierge and started planning our outing.
Whichever way you look outside the hotel, the view is indescribable. There is a lake 5 minutes from the hotel that has a walkway with these huge mountains all around it, it was stunning. The walk around the lake takes about an hour and 30 minutes. There are chairlifts all over.
As per the front desk we drove with our car about 10 minutes to a mountain that’s called Muottas Muragl. Once we got there we bought tickets to the funicular. That was a 10 minute ride up to the top of the mountain which is 8,050ft high. The views were stunning. You can take a hike, they have nice playgrounds and benches to sit and relax. We hiked relaxed and took in the view it was gorgeous. Then we went back to the hotel for our first supper of the weekend.
There were only about 10 couples for the weekend. It was quiet and empty and very relaxing.
We got back about 7:30. Supper was good but I didn’t like the meat they made. So they offered to make something else and it was really good. But again I was not impressed with their food compared to other hotels who charge much less.
For each meal they have a buffet of all kinds of salads, and they give a menu with that meal. They serve a full 6 coarse meal.
Pictures of the food. Hotel and the day.
