Grand Resort Bad Ragaz

"A hotel with Three Keys, and within, restaurants with six total Stars: This is not by any means typical, but the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz is no typical resort. Dating back to 1868, it’s the pinnacle of the Swiss mountain spa concept, with its ornate bathing hall fed by natural hot springs and its treatments including everything from massage to medical care." - Alexis Benveniste

"A five-star Alpine spa in Switzerland known for its thermal baths, luxurious accommodations, and specialized wellness programs including gut-focused retreats."

"The use of tempeh, a fermented soy product, is grounded in my personal connection, stemming from the time I spent living in Indonesia. Having been exposed to tempeh as a staple in Indonesian cuisine, its familiarity adds a cultural touch to the resort’s culinary offerings. Additionally, seeing as tempeh can be easily made by hand aligns with Grand Resort Bad Ragaz’s commitment to sustainable and wellness-forward ingredients. Its familiar taste and texture make it the perfect candidate to replace more complex meat alternatives. The nutty flavor and firm, yet chewy texture makes it an excellent ingredient suitable for a wide range of recipes."

"In 1242, a bird hunter in the Tamina Gorge discovered a pure hot spring with healing minerals and a consistently toasty temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit. Visitors have been traveling to take advantage of the thermal water’s healing properties ever since. Today, that “blue gold” is one of many draws of Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in eastern Switzerland, about an hour’s drive from Zurich. Comprised of four interconnected hotels, the resort offers guests two thermal spas, saunas, steam rooms, and hammams, as well as its signature NEWYOU Method. This holistic, evidence-based approach uses the latest findings in medicine and wellness to help each individual reach their goals. For dining options, you’ll find at least six Michelin stars among the seven restaurants, including the three-Michelin-starred Memories. There, Chef Sven Wassmer uses the Alpine region as his seasonal pantry." - Caitlin Gunther

"While the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz is widely known for its health spa, based around the healing waters of the town’s Tamina Gorge, it is also becoming increasingly renowned for its food. Even if you’re not staying at the property, we’d suggest booking a table at one of its Michelin-starred restaurants."
