In 2006, Hansjürg and Anikó Badrutt, sole owners of the hotel and without issue, bequeathed 66% of the shares to Hans Wiedemann, who has served as GM since 2004.

Billy Fiske, an American fighter pilot killed in the Battle of Britain, who was a Cresta competitor, and a founder of the Aspen ski resort in Colorado, was well known for jumps from the Badrutt's Palace Hotel's bar chandelier.

During this period many renovations, extensions and technical installations were made that added to the substance and development of Badrutt's Palace Hotel.

In 2006 (notarially 2008) the childless owners, Hansjürg and Anikó Badrutt (born 1930), bequeathed a two-thirds share of the hotel to Hans Wiedemann in their will.

As of 2016, Richard Leuenberger has taken over in the position of Managing Director, successfully overseeing comprehensive rooms renovations and adding services and restaurants to the offering.
