“In the heart of Zermatt, this hotel impressed me with its blend of Valais tradition and modern design, particularly the rooms with private balconies that offer elevated views. I especially appreciate the onsite restaurant, which features on-demand flambé cooking-a distinctive touch. Its proximity to the train station makes it a practical choice, but it's the attention to culinary detail and comfortable, chalet-style accommodations that make it a standout.”
