I fell down a flight of stairs admiring the design of the lobby and it's still five stars!…read more
An outstanding comfortable, contemporary property that oozes Swiss design, style and more importantly service. Warm wood tones intermixed with natural stone, LED lit frosted glass edge hallways, glass elevators and stairs accented with glass, comfortable common spaces with charming fireplaces, and thanks to being perched atop a rocky outcrop, amazing views overlooking the town stretching up to the Matterhorn.
Service begins at the time of booking. Confirmation emails asking of special request, restaurant reservations at its Michelin one star eatery, and scheduling transportation to the property (Zermatt is a car free zone - only electric taxis are allowed).
On arrival, the hotel's private taxi retrieves you. All luggage is handled leaving you to check in and enjoy a welcome drink. In the room, bottled water, welcome fruit and sweets plus a decanter of bourbon await. (You're here to relax right? What's a few drinks).
The rooms themselves are large, very well designed incorporating the natural beauty outside while inside, filled with warm wood surfaces and lighting. Excellent finishes and impeccably clean.
--Linens and robes - extremely plush.
--Shampoo, body wash, lotions - Aesop.
--Bed and bedding - extremely comfortable pillows but very firm mattresses.
--Power - Easily accessible throughout the room.
Other amenities include:
-- Michelin one star restaurant (The Restaurant at the Omnia) on the property.
-- Turn down service with Swiss chocolates
-- High speed WiFi
-- Buffet breakfast (included)
-- Transport to and from the station.
Outstanding service throughout. Very fluent English spoken.
Rates will vary by the season but are very reasonable all things considered (A stay at a Four Seasons in the States will cost you double for less service and charm).
Tip: Book direct for the best availability and rates (in CHF) provided your credit card has no international transaction fee else opt for an online booking site.
Highly recommended.
