8 Best Places to Stay in Zermatt

Last updated on October 7, 2020 in Hotels, Switzerland Leave a Comment

The impossibly beautiful town of Zermatt in Switzerland is certainly the place to go if you feel like skiing or getting out into the great outdoors. In summer, the hiking here is Alpine trekking at its best. What’s more, this southern Swiss town boasts the amazing Matterhorn.

Also known as Monte Cervino, at 4,478 meters tall, it’s the sixth-highest mountain in Europe – and a prominent one at that, with an almost perfectly pyramidal peak.

Staying in Zermatt means leaving your car at home. That’s right; this town is completely car-free. But that’s okay; there are plenty of funiculars, cable cars, and incredible train rides to take around the area. There are also plenty of hotels – from simple and stylish to utterly contemporary Alpine chic – to soak up those mountain views from.

8. Hotel Jagerhof

Hotel Jagerhof

The Alpine-esque rooms at Hotel Jägerhof may come with flatscreen TVs, but that won’t matter all that much when you’re practically at the base of the Matterhorn. You’ll be more interested in seeing the views – or maybe even upgrade your room for one with a balcony. In fact, the Zermatt gondola station – just under a ten-minute walk away – takes you up to Europe’s highest gondola station at Klein Matterhorn, which is all kinds of stunning.

Back at the hotel, there’s a restaurant, a bar (complete with fireplace), and even a complimentary buffet breakfast on offer to fuel your days of exploration.

7. Backstage Boutique SPA Hotel

Backstage Boutique SPA Hotel

There’s a reason this hotel features ‘Boutique’ in the name; the rooms here are beautifully done, some with walnut paneling, others with light wood minimalism, and all with chic furnishings. They also come complete with sitting areas and balconies, so you can really soak up those mountain vistas.

Backstage Boutique SPA Hotel features a bar – where a DJ plays tunes regularly – a classy restaurant, an art gallery and cinema, plus a spa, where the treatments come with biblical themes (in name, at least). Location-wise, this one is in the middle of Zermatt, not far from the scenic Gornergrat railway and just a few minutes’ walk to Matterhorn Ski Paradise resort.

What’s more, staying at Residence Patricia means you’ll be able to hand your ski ticket in directly at the reception of the Best Western Alpen, bypassing the public system of the resort, which is convenient. Within walking distance of the hotel, you’ll find the Zermatt Matterhorn Viewpoint, for a glimpse of the stunning mountain itself.
