Large and centrally located hotel with several restaurants and lots of amenities. The Restaurant has a solid Swiss breakfast with lots of local meats, yoghurts, meats, cheese, fruit, etc. There are several other restaurants on the property, but the only other one I can speak to is the Grill (see my review for more on that).
This is definitely one of the nicest hotels in Zermatt. Our room was a 2-bedroom suite located in the Residences section of the hotel, which felt a bit dated but similar to most ski resorts I've stayed in. The rooms got very hot at night and we needed to keep the windows open. The hotel is very big - too big in my opinion - so it certainly doesn't have a boutiquey feel. The biggest issue was how spread out everything was - it was like a maze trying to find our way around.
That being said, the hotel staff was very helpful, from Boris the concierge helping us make reservations prior to our arrival, to securing lift tickets in advance and helping arrange guides at the last minute, to literally carrying our skis around for us. There is a ski room located downstairs, which conveniently provides lockers to store skis and ski equipment.
The spa is fantastic and has a beautiful pool and indoor/outdoor hot tub that is delightful when it's snowing. My deep tissue massage was one of the best I've ever had. The joint sauna and steam room areas are fully nude and coed, despite having separate sections for women and nudity. When in Switzerland, do as the Swiss do I guess!
I would stay here again and look forward to returning!
