| St. Moritz at night (winter) |
St. Moritz has a glamorous reputation and is known to accommodate a wide range of visitors, from well-to-do celebrities to professional winter athletes. The town itself is divided into St. Moritz Dorf and St. Moritz Bad, though the overall scenic setting and dazzling shops create the stunning life deemed noteworthy in James Bond films and a hotspot amongst today's elite. Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Versace are a few of the well-known establishments complimenting the upscale jewelry and designer-watch boutiques.

In addition, it's nearly impossible to pass by a St. Moritz hotel, like the prominent Badrutt's Palace, without stopping to eye its magnificence and beauty in structure and presentation. Still, as a place housing a year-round population of over 5,000, a local vibe exists among the sparkle and inside cultural shops, local bars and laidback cafes. If ritzy spending isn't in the budget, accommodation stretches further than tourist hotels and hostels, including cozy chalets and St. Moritz apartment rentals easily available through private offerings or vacation agencies.

Restaurants and nightlife range from classy white-table cloth eateries to English-style pubs and discos.
