Hotel Monte Rosa
If you're looking for a classic Swiss experience full of interesting history, Hotel Monte Rosa is the perfect choice. Its unique collection of vintage photographs showing Mountaineers and other famous figures who have visited over the years is sure to add an extra touch of magic to your stay!
Setting the scene
Hotel Monte Rosa is steeped in Swiss tradition. It opened in 1839 and was the very first hotel in the picturesque Matterhorn village, with just three rooms. The Seiler family took over in 1853, and the hotel stayed within their family for many years to come.
For those looking for an authentic, historical and truly unique experience, look no further than a stay at this delightful hotel. It has played host to some of the most respected mountaineers, including Edward Whymper, who was the first to successfully climb the Matterhorn. Refurbishments and expansions have ensured that the hotel meets modern standards whilst still boasting its old-fashioned, turn-of-the-century Alpine charm. This is seen throughout the hotel's lounges and its historical restaurant, which is arguably one of the most beautiful in the Alps.
Located right in the heart of Zermatt, Hotel Monte Rosa is on the lively main street just a stone's throw from the numerous shops, restaurants and bars, and just a short walk from the train station, mountain railway, cable cars and bus stops.
The hotel offers 41 luxurious rooms and suites in a range of sizes and styles that are equipped to meet the highest standards of convenience and comfort. Guests of the Hotel Monte Rosa may use the fantastic spa facilities, spanning 1,700 sqm, at the neighbouring sister hotel Mont Cervin Palace.
