Hotel Romantica was a wonderful place to stay in Zermatt, and Thor and Michèle are truly what made it so special. Michèle was lovely on the phone when I first checked availability and managed to find us rooms during the very busy New Year period, which we really appreciated.
Thor was also wonderful, collecting our luggage from the station, dropping us back at the end of our stay and making everything feel smooth and easy throughout. One of them always seemed to be around, greeting us by name and chatting with us at breakfast and again when we returned from skiing - consistently friendly, helpful and genuinely welcoming.
Our two rooms were bright, spacious and spotless, with a great layout and very comfortable beds and pillows. Each room had a balcony with beautiful views over Zermatt, and one even had a fantastic view from the bath, which was a real highlight after skiing.
Everything felt very thoughtfully designed, particularly for skiers. Ski storage was easy and practical, and the benches in the main hotel for removing ski boots were such a welcome touch - avoiding the usual miserable ski locker experience. There’s also a cosy bar, which we unfortunately didn’t get the chance to visit this time.
The location is excellent - right in the centre of Zermatt and perfectly positioned between all the main lifts, making it easy to walk everywhere. Despite this, the hotel feels tucked away, quiet and peaceful.
We had a brilliant stay from start to finish. We’ve stayed in Zermatt many times, but this is definitely our favourite hotel and the one we plan to return to.
