Face d'Or Luxury Apartments

Zermatt Luxury Apartments, Zermatt, Switzerland - Explore & Book

"This small but decidedly exclusive collection of pristine designer apartments is perched high on a rocky spur overlooking the Swiss resort of Zermatt. It attracts a style-conscious clientele of families and groups of friends who come year-round for the breathtaking outdoor scenery (the resort is overshadowed by the mighty, Toblerone-shaped Matterhorn), and the vast range of activities on offer. Owned by Rudy Julen (from one of the 4 separate Julen families who seem to own most of the resort), what makes these apartments so special is their plum location, hotel-style services and cool interiors. Rudy is a hobby sheep farmer, keeping 300 Blacknose Valois sheep in his spare time, and this detail has been imaginatively picked up by the apartments' interior designer. There are sheep-themed features throughout, from balls of wool and giant black-and-white photos to cosy sheepskins artfully draped over chairs. Even the lift linking the floors is lined with a sheep print. Highs Combines the privacy and relaxed vibe of a chalet with the services of a first-class hotel, including breakfast delivered to your door, a wellness area and a concierge A mere 2-minute stroll down to the main square in buzzy Zermatt, a resort where many chalets and hotels are out on a limbSpacious, light-filled accommodation with lots of luxurious touches - bathrobes, Apple TVs with movies and a NespressoThe flexibility of being able to self-cater some meals, order in others via room service, and stroll to great restaurantsAll bedrooms can be set up as doubles or twins, and all have their own bathroom - perfect for couples, friends and families Lows No communal bar area or restaurant so it feels a little like the building lacks a heartNo pool, just a shared large whirlpool, wooden sauna and steam roomExpensive, but worth it" - Belinda Archer
