Mont Cervin Palace has occupied its position in the heart of Zermatt since 1852, when it opened with just 14 beds. Today the 107-room hotel — part of the prestigious Seiler Hotels Group — is the undisputed grande dame of Switzerland's most celebrated mountain village. Every guest arrives from Zermatt station by horse-drawn carriage, clapping along the main street past watch boutiques and outdoor equipment shops. The Matterhorn, which John Ruskin called the most noble cliff in Europe, is visible from every south-facing room.

The Matterhorn Suite is the hotel's flagship accommodation — 180 square metres over two floors. The upper floor houses a master king bedroom with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower. The lower floor features a 28-square-metre panoramic window facing the Matterhorn, an open fireplace living room, a separate dining room, and a south-facing balcony from which the mountain fills the entire view.

Zermatt offers one of the most technically demanding ski areas in the Alps. Klein Matterhorn at 3,883 metres is the highest ski lift in Europe, and from its summit guests can ski to Cervinia across the Italian border. The Gornergratt rack railway climbs to 3,100 metres. The 1,700-square-metre spa complex includes an outdoor heated pool, indoor pool, sauna, steam rooms, a hammam, an ice grotto, and a Jacuzzi, alongside a personal trainer service and five restaurants including Ristorante Capri and the Davidoff Lounge cigar room.

Dining & Flavours

Le Restaurant & Ristorante Capri
5 Restaurants · Davidoff Lounge · Alpine Gourmet

Le Restaurant is the grand dining room of Mont Cervin Palace — service that recalls the Golden Age of Swiss alpine hospitality. Breakfast here is widely cited as among the finest in all of Zermatt: birchermuesli, multiple bread varieties, cheese, smoked salmon, champagne bucks fizz, and a chef cooking eggs and omelettes to order. Ristorante Capri serves Mediterranean cuisine on the fourth floor with mountain views.

The Davidoff Lounge is one of the most celebrated cigar rooms in Europe — beautifully decorated with an open fire, an extensive humidor of Cuban and Dominican cigars, and a curated spirits selection. The hotel operates a dine-around programme with 15 partner restaurants in Zermatt covering French, Italian, Japanese, and Swiss cuisine.
