Beds described as exceptionally comfortable and dreamy, with high-quality linens and generous sizing

Bathroom & water

Premium rooms have excellent five-star bathrooms with quality fixtures; standard/classic rooms have disappointing bathrooms with poor design and occasional water pressure issues

Breakfast

Outstanding buffet with fresh-squeezed juices, made-to-order items, extensive pastries; worth the premium price

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the main hallway to avoid hearing door-slamming vibrations from guests entering/leaving adjacent rooms.

Book the Matterhorn Corner or Superior rooms for unobstructed mountain views from your bed and balcony.

Arrive early to catch the golden sunrise over Matterhorn from your balcony; this is a highlight many guests mention.
