Grand Resort Bad Ragaz on Postcard

"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."

The Grand Resort Bad Ragaz is a place I’ve grown very fond of, having stayed there around six times. Each visit has been nothing short of exceptional, reaffirming the prestige and quality of this resort. It truly feels like a Grand Hotel straight out of a movie, where every detail is perfectly arranged to make your stay unforgettable. The guest is always the focus here: the staff takes great care to ensure that you want for nothing, anticipating your every need with impeccable service and friendliness. The rooms are simply outstanding, immersing you in a little Swiss fairy tale with maximum comfort and elegance. The spa and **thermal baths are in a league of their own. The experience is hard to put into words, but you can expect a high level of privacy and luxury that leaves you feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a family-friendly destination, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz is the perfect choice. I’ve grown attached to this place, and each stay only deepens my appreciation. I can’t wait to return again!

Absolutely 5 Stars. The whole hotel and installation are modern and welcoming. Wellness and Spas are amazing. Staff and Concierge are one of the best in Switzerland without a doubt (Robin is amazing). Our wholesale family had a lot of fun and wonderful stay here. The restaurants are very nice and up to the standard. Golf and Tennis are available.

The junior suite at Quellenhof facing the park is just perfect! Services are friendly and efficient, facilities are well-kept, elegantly designed! Highly recommended! We did get one of the worst rooms upon check-in, but it was rectified. The Roman-style indoor thermal pool is the main attraction for us. So all in all, it was a fabulous experience, we love the triennial art installations set up in the whole village!

I came alone in March and with my wife back in August . The two stays were enchanting as this hotel has it (almost) all : very friendly staff, huge rooms, wonderful location , a gymn and spa to die for (not to mention the Tarmina thermes next door) and a fantastic golf course, weather permitting. There are a number of restaurants to choose from with a special mention to Memories which is quickly turning into one of our favorite places for an unforgettable dinner, anywhere in the world. Not cheap but definitely the place for a relaxing stay in full luxury.

I’ve stayed at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz multiple times, and it never disappoints. The warm, attentive staff, luxurious rooms, and stunning views make every visit exceptional. The spa offers rejuvenating treatments, and dining is always a delight. The amenities are top-notch, and the overall service is outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and luxury.

After few years I returned to Grand Hotel, it had been always my escape to paradise and I enjoyed it immensely. This time I was surprised by not finding the reception where it used to be, the entry to Grand Hotel was instead filled with shops and boutiques. Do you really find it necessary and profitable? I have never seen any customers in these fancy boutiques, I hated them, the hotel changed into a market, kind of upper class market with cashmere clothes and glitter junk. Not so many oligarchs any more, so what is it good for? The new design of the rooms is rather disappointing, I prefered the old, cosy beige, golden style. Anyway, Helena Bad is still the same and the staff is gentle, kind and professional. Please, get rid of these ridiculous shops and reinstall the old reception desk.

For many years we made a boxstop at the Resort when returning home from Ticino, Austria or Bavaria. The reason was the convenience that the restaurant Olives d'or was open all afternoon and offered the full menu. To our astonishment and disappointment we were recently given a small menu which listet mainly pizzeria dishes. Moreover, the usually complimentary offered "Thermalwasser" is a thing of the past, half a liter thermal water costs now CHF 6.50, albeit in a trendy glass bottle. This is definitely a big setback and step back from what the resort used to be. I am not impressed by the number of michelin starred restaurants at a hotel. Will have second thoughts before setting my foot there again. Pity used to be one of our favourite hotel we stayed in.

I really cannot put into words how beautiful this hotel is. Every single element of our stay was taken care of. The colleagues at the hotel are so lovely, especially the Valets! The rooms are very spacious, sound proofed, so comfortable and have fantastic views. Breakfast was great, as were the spa facilities. We will definitely be back.
