The World Economic Forum's 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos brought record numbers of heads of state, CEOs, and thought leaders to the Swiss Alpine town for five days of intensive dialogue. AI regulation, climate finance, and the restructuring of global trade dominated the formal programme.

Beyond the Congress Centre, the real business of Davos unfolded in the private chalets and hotel suites that line the Promenade. Bilateral meetings between tech CEOs and government leaders, private dinners hosted by sovereign wealth funds, and invitation-only roundtables shaped decisions that will ripple through the global economy for years.

For the luxury world, Davos represents the ultimate networking nexus. The Steigenberger Grandhotel Belvédère, the Hotel Seehof, and the private residences that host parallel events create an ecosystem where influence, capital, and vision converge at 1,560 metres above sea level.
