Fodor's Expert Review Palace Spa

Gorgeous wood, stone, and other materials are the hallmark of the spa at the Gstaad Palace, where you might indeed feel like royalty. The facilities include separate steam baths and saunas for men and women, who can reunite for a swim in the indoor or outdoor pools or to enjoy the warmth of the fireplace-in-the-round at the heart of the 19,000-square-foot facility. There's also a private spa suite, plus a six-room hammam that can be reserved for private use. The varied treatment menu includes massages, body exfoliations, and antiaging oxygen facials. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the squash court as well as the Pilates and fitness studios.
