Where do I start?! I’m so happy I went with Plateau-Rosa for my birthday trip! It was exactly what I was looking for - quiet, relaxing, and with a great view of the Matterhorn.
I was warmly greeted by Pierre at the front desk and shown to my room, which was tidy, bright, and had a large balcony.
Location-wise, it’s about 20 mins walk from the train station though there’s a bus. I didn’t mind walking as I got to look around. The hotel is located right across from the cable car station so ideal for heading up to Glacier paradise. You can also go for a hike on the hill across from the hotel (I snapped a pic of the hotel from there).
The spa with sauna is tiny but really comfy - I guess I benefited from going during the offseason!
Breakfast options were great especially the various Swiss breads you could try and the staff there was always kind and helpful.
If returning to Zermatt or recommending to someone else, without a doubt I’d recommend Plateau-Rosa!
