The Villa

A house with many lives.

From a nineteenth-century guesthouse to the valley’s clinic, and now a cultural residence once more. The story of Villa Beaulieu is the story of the valley itself.

The Story

A House Through Time

Villa Beaulieu in its earliest years as Pension Joos in St. Moritz

1868

Built as Pension Joos

Built as Pension Joos in the middle of St. Moritz, the house began as a mountain lodging for travellers in the Engadin.

1926

The house became Villa Beaulieu

The house was later renamed Villa Beaulieu, a French name meaning “the beautiful place.”

The alpine Klinik Gut

In 1941, the house entered a new chapter when it became home to Klinik Gut, a local hospital that served the St. Moritz community for more than eighty years.

2023 — 2025

The house stood empty

Then the house stood empty, until construction began at the end of 2025.

The work began

What came next was a revival: one of St. Moritz’s old houses brought back into use.

Today

It is being reawakened

Thirteen rooms. One frozen lake. A kitchen open to guests, a bar that stays late, and a calendar shaped by the valley.
