Our present Boutique Hotel Palais Bad Ragaz was already built in the last quarter of the 18th century. When wooden pipelines were built in 1840 to transport the spring water from the nearby Tamina Gorge to Bad Ragaz, the town quickly attracted attention and attracted spa guests from all over the world to Bad Ragaz.
The development of a health resort
The history of the Ragaz spa began in 1840 when the thermal water was piped to the abbot's governor's office in Hof Ragaz, four kilometres away. After 1868 it quickly became a world health resort thanks to the initiative and foresight of the architect and former railway director Bernhard Simon.
From the governor's offices to a boutique hotel
In 1841, Felix Wilhelm Kubly transformed the governor’s offices into an exclusive hotel. Later renovations, on the ground floor resulted in lasting changes to the original structure; for example, the dining room that Kubly created was replaced by a modern hall. From the outside, however, the building seems practically untouched. The Palais was fully restored by Thermalbäder und Grand-Hotels AG in 1976.

Breathtaking splendour in the Music Salon
With its truly princely atmosphere, the dazzling restored music salon offers visitors to the Palais a glimpse into all its earlier splendour and luxury. The wide room, which is suffused with natural light, is dominated by the yellow stucco marble wall panels, which draw the eye up to the intricately decorated ceilings.
