Hotel Information

Hotel Monte Rosa


Property Description

“At this 1855 boutique ski resort, they put warm stones in your bed so it’s nice and toasty. A white stucco hotel with red window shutters, it has suites that are named for famous mountains.”

— Conde Nast Traveler

The Hotel Monte Rosa’s rich history dates back to 1839, when it opened with three rooms as the first inn in Zermatt, a Swiss Alpine resort town at the foot of the Matterhorn. It was acquired by the Seiler family in 1853 and its early guests included Edward Whymper, the first explorer to summit the Matterhorn’s legendary peak.

Located on Zermatt’s lively main street, the four-star hotel continues to charm with its Belle Epoque style and intimate, Alpine ambience. There are 41 rooms and suites appointed with every modern comfort today’s traveler expects, and some have balconies affording spectacular mountain views.

The Hotel Monte Rosa’s historic dining room provides an elegant setting for candlelight gourmet dinners, while Edward’s Bar-Cafe offers a cozy spot for an Irish coffee or other specialty drink. Restaurant 1818 Eat & Drink, situated just behind Hotel Monte Rosa, is a cozy but lively old Valais style parlour with designer furniture, creatively prepared market fresh regional products, and a secret hideaway bar for before or after dinner drinks.

Guests of the Hotel Monte Rosa enjoy access to the wellness area at the Mont Cervin Palace, just 120 meters away. Here, they can relax with a refreshing swim indoors or out; enjoy whirlpools, sauna and steam; workout in the fitness room, or unwind under the expert hands of a spa therapist at the MCP Beauty Spa.

With one of the longest winter ski seasons in the Alps, Zermatt also offers plenty of warm-weather appeals, including tennis, mountain biking, wine tastings and the annual Zermatt Festival of chamber music in September. Its quaint streets are lined with shops, restaurants and bars.

Zermatt is an automobile-free resort town. Parking is available in the village of Tasch, 5 km from Zermatt, with shuttle service available to the hotel, which is also just a short walk from the railway station.
