Mont Cervin Palace

When the climbing elite descended from the Matterhorn in the late 19th century — muddy, exhausted, occasionally missing a member of their party — the Mont Cervin was where they came to recover their composure and recount the ascent over dinner. The hotel has occupied its prime position in the heart of Zermatt since 1852 and was thoroughly rebuilt in the grand style at the turn of the century. Today it's part of the Seiler family's hotel dynasty, which has shaped Zermatt hospitality for over 170 years. 150 rooms, the Myoko restaurant for Japanese fine dining, and one of the village's best spa facilities.
