Hamilton Lodge & Spa

On the valley side a short way out of Zermatt, the Hotel Coeur des Alpes is a stylish glass-sided chalet with a warm welcome and wonderful service.

There are a range of modern rooms, truly opulent suites and sprawling multi-room apartments, many of which enjoy incredible views of the looming Matterhorn.

The wellness areas include a wonderful pool, kneipp bath, hamman, caldarium, sauna and fitness room with a range of massages, therapies and special treatments available to guests.

Breakfasts are huge, afternoon tea is complimentary and there is a snack menu available all day. There’s a wine cellar and weekly raclette evening during the winter and while there is no restaurant here, Zermatt is renowned for it cuisine.

The unmistakably Swiss Mont Cervin Palace is a Zermatt landmark, a place of quaint charm and warm hospitality.

150 rooms are of the highest quality, all with a fantastic view of the Matterhorn or the snow-capped ‘four-thousanders’. The rooms are spread between three buildings, elegant in the main building, chalet style in Le Petit Cervin with family apartments in the Résidence.

Guests can enjoy not only the hotel’s dining venues, including the Michelin-starred Ristorante Capri, Grill Le Cervin, Le Restaurant and Japanese Myoko, but also at other Zermatt establishments that are part of the Dine Around scheme. There are also two bars, wine cellar and cigar lounge.

The expansive spa features a large pool, sauna, fitness centre, massage and beauty therapists, and a well equipped fitness centre.

High above the Rhône Valley, overlooking a magnificent vista of sweeping mountains and snow-capped peaks, LeCrans Hotel & Spa is an exclusive luxury establishment.

There are just eight suites and seven rooms, each with a private terrace and spectacular alpine views. The apartment has three double bedrooms making it ideal for groups and families.

The gastronomic options are equally of world-class quality, boasting 16 Gault and Millau points. Both modern and traditional French cuisine are prepared in the kitchens while the brasserie on the terrace provides breath-taking views once you sit down for your meal. You can savour local and international vintages as well as take part in tastings in their wine cellar and lastly, LeCigarLounge provides a sophisticated environment with its fine collection of exquisite cigars.

During the winter, the exclusive Crans-Montana ski resort is the main draw while in the summer saddle up for gorgeous horse riding trails or tackle the physical side by embarking on canyoning and climbing expeditions.

Both heated outdoor or indoor pools are wonderful places to soak, and personal trainers are available to ensure you get the most out of your sessions in the fitness centre before a massage and steam in the sauna.

Hotel Monte Rose is found in the centre of picturesque Zermatt. There are 41 rooms, with or without a balcony, with a view of the Matterhorn or over Zermatt and its mountain landscape, romantic or modern – but always comfortable and welcoming.

Edward’s Bar Café, named in honour of the first mountaineer to climb the Matterhorn, is ideal for food, a cocktail to set the mood for a night out in town or a nightcap. The hotel participates in Zermatt’s Dine Around concept, meaning that half-board guests can dine in a different local restaurant every evening.

Guests at the Monte Rosa also have access to the spa at the Mont Cervin Palace, a sister hotel just a few steps down the street, as well as its pool, gym and sauna.
