Hotel Monte Rosa

"Charming isn’t quite the right word for the Matterhorn, is it? It’s got more than charm going for it. But let’s say the mountain’s grandeur, its tremendous majesty, its heart-wrenching sublimity, are matched by the more humanly proportioned charm of the Monte Rosa hotel near its base. It’s a tidy Victorian affair with wrought-iron Juliet balconies and red wooden shutters which, in spring and summer, harmonize with the velvety geraniums in the window boxes. The moment it opened in 1847 the Monte Rosa became the de facto headquarters of the mountaineers, geologists, botanists, restless aristocrats, and assorted well-heeled oddballs who had suddenly discovered an urgent need to clamber or merely gaze upon the Swiss Alps. There are some slightly fancier places to stay in Zermatt these days. But there’s only one Monte Rosa, with its marvelous, low-ceilinged, tartan-upholstered bar; its woody, woolly, reassuring rooms; and its restaurant, Belle Epoque, still among the loveliest dining rooms in a town that’s full of them. In the narrow lanes around the hotel are centuries-old chalets made of larch as blackened as frostbitten toes. Looming over it all, of course, like the greatest cathedral spire the world has ever known, is the Matterhorn."

Our stay in Zermatt was truly wonderful. The hotel offered a charming shuttle service in little electric vehicles to and from the train station, making arrival stress-free. We were lucky to receive an upgraded room, which was both spacious and luxurious. The staff were exceptionally helpful—from a smooth check-in to arranging dinner reservations with ease. A special mention to Georgios at reception, who went above and beyond by recommending stunning local beauty spots. The warm hospitality and thoughtful service made our visit unforgettable. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, style, and excellent service in Zermatt.

Wonderful experience with Hotel Monte Rosa in Zermatt that exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely suite with a balcony and view of the Matterhorn. Hard to beat. Fresh fruit, large walk in closet, two bathrooms with bidet and tub large enough to accommodate a 6’2” guest. Can’t say enough about this hotel. Recommended by our travel service and we now know why. The place to be in Zermatt!

Old and charming hotel that you would only get one room key because it is real old fashioned key and you would have to leave the key at the front desk whenever you go out. The rooms are very dark with small windows and dark color interior furnishing. I don’t like the shower in tub with half wall in the main bathroom, so we all took showers in the tiny shower inside the small bathroom. Very friendly front desk and concierge. Appreciate that the hotel offers complimentary pickup and shuttles to and from the train station if you don’t want to walk with luggage or in a rush. The South American restaurant(Colombian food) in the hotel is delicious, but you do have to deal with flies flying around your food, as the case the other restaurants we went in town. The breakfast restaurant is inside the building and it’s old and beautiful and has decent selections including a waffle maker for making your own waffle.

Staying at this quaint hotel was truly a delight from start to finish. Its perfect location made exploring the area incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The staff's helpfulness and attentiveness enhanced the overall experience significantly. Furthermore, the breakfast spread offered was absolutely fantastic, providing a wonderful start to each day. They were also able to cater to dietary requirements.

I stayed here for 2 nights with a tour group. It’s a charming hotel with an ‘old world’ ambiance but with very modern bathrooms. My room had both a walk in shower and a spa bathtub. There was a view of both the church on the left and the Matterhorn off to the right. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. One staff member in particular along with my APT tour leader went to a great deal of trouble to retrieve some belongings I had left in the museum across the street which had closed before I realised I’d left them behind.

We only stayed for one night but will definitely come back if we're in Zermatt again. The hotel is beautiful, and the room was spacious and nicely furnished. The staff were great. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options. The location is close to the bridge where people go to watch the sunrise over the Matterhorn.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful and historic! Upon checking in, we were upgraded to a suite to celebrate our 3 year marriage anniversary. The entire weekend the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, safe, and celebrated. The breakfast is also amazing!!! I cannot get over how good the muesli is. Ever since we got home from Zermatt, I've been trying to recreate it.

We had excellent stay at Monte Rosa Hotel. Mainly thanks to excellent staff, the girls from the reception or the barman or anyone there taking care of the guests. We were there with our dog and she loved the stay as well. Particularly, we enjoyed afternoon tea served in one of old type dining rooms. The whole hotel is sensitively reconstructed so it looks like traditional mountaineering hotel. We really like it. All our requests were promptly solved, namely the last one when our train was halted due to rockfalls. A car was arranged for us quickly so we could leave Zermatt on time. In Monte Rosa hotel they know how to take care of the guests.

We have been spoiled. Hotel Monte Rosa in Zermatt is probably the best place we have ever stayed in. The location in central Zermatt is perfect. From our balcony (one of two in our room) we had a view of the Matterhorn mountain and the Kirchplatz town square where there were performances in the evening. The room was elegant and well-maintained. There was a living room area with a desk, a table for four, a sofa, coffee table, and a Bluetooth enabled stereosystem. There were two bathrooms and a walk-in closet area with four large closets. There was a television in each of the two principle areas. The hotel staff was great. They provided information about the local lifts, trains, spa-gym, restaurants, and other town services. When I mentioned that one of the multiple lightbulbs in one of the bathrooms was out, it was replaced in less than an hour. The hotel had WebCam views from the various mountain peaks. Use of the spa-gym was included. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent and complementary transportation was provided for the short trip to and from the train station.
