NEW LUXURY BOOSTS RENAISSANCE OF THE SOUTH WEST

Timely £13.5m St Moritz Hotel development brings major economic boost Over 75 years ago, thousands of people used to make an annual pilgrimage to the Cornish coast as their much needed escape from the daily stresses of urban life. Packing up beautiful cars with children, dogs and trunks, year-on-year they would drive for anything up to eleven hours to reach their final destination – the renowned St Moritz Hotel.

There they would discover unsurpassed personal attention, award winning gastronomy, luxurious décor and all the glory of the beaches and surrounding countryside. Now, with an ongoing renaissance of the South West, ever improving travel links and a growing concern for our carbon footprint, the complete transformation of one of Cornwall’s best loved hotels will recreate this original feeling and return the St Moritz to its former glory, reviving the reputation and standards of the original hotel within new state-of-the-art surroundings.

Situated above Daymer Bay in Trebetherick near Rock, with uninterrupted views out across the mouth of the River Camel to Steppa Point, the new £13.5 million St Moritz will be the first purpose built, luxury hotel in Cornwall for over thirty years. The new hotel design comprises 48 hotel bedrooms made up of 16 suites and 32 double bedrooms. Also on site will be one of the most luxurious global spa concepts, a fully fitted gym, a large restaurant and external dining deck, a bar, lounge and coffee lounge, a games room, full leisure suite and large, open landscaped gardens. The new hotel will complement the much loved St Moritz Villas which are situated next door and visitors to the villas will also have unlimited access to all of the hotel’s facilities......
