The hotel was originally constructed as a "golf hotel" in Schönried.
The name was changed to "Hotel ERMITAGE Golf".
Hoteliers Heiner Lutz and Laurenz Schmid bought the Hotel ERMITAGE Golf.
The first indoor-and-open-air salt-water pool was opened in Switzerland at 1,200m above sea level.
The hotel was extended around the salt-water bathhouse with 37 new bedrooms and suites.
The main building, with 39 bedrooms and junior suites, was officially opened along with a sauna park with three different saunas.
Official opening of the spa area "Vitalità" with treatment rooms for massages, facials and body treatments as well as a fitness room.
Further rooms were added to Vitalità for special treatments: Rasul bath, Golden Nostalgia and Hamam.
The fitness room was extended and the Vitalità area was extended once again with additional treatment rooms and a new changing room.

The new building project was commenced with the excavation of the new "Résidence" quarters.
From March, the hotel was closed for eight months for the biggest expansion and extension project in hotel history. The two new quarters of "Saanen" and "Résidence" are up and running.

The ERMITAGE Wellness & Spa Hotel was sold to Heiner Lutz's brother, Jürg Lutz, and his sons Julian and Ambros.
