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. Through the Dine Around program, guests at the Hotel
Monte Rosa can also choose from 11 other fine Zermatt restaurants at
its sister hotels within the Seiler Group. These include the flagship
Mont Cervin Palace, the Hotel Schweizerhof and the Partner Hotel
Riffelalp Resort 2222 m.

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.
