Considered a hidden gem in Zermatt, the Hotel Excelsior is a cosy family-run hotel which prides itself on personal service and great views of the Matterhorn.
The Hotel Excelsior is in a prime location just 250 metres to Zermatt’s centre with plenty of shops and restaurants, and 400 metres to the Gornergratbahn and the Sunnegga Express funicular.
The hotel has spectacular views of the Swiss Alps. We recommend opting for a Double South Matterhorn View room where you can watch the sunrise from your balcony over the iconic mountain.
Food & Wine
Available on Half Board and Bed & Breakfast, the Hotel Excelsior has options for everyone. The restaurant uses local produce wherever possible and has influences from French and Swiss cuisines. Try out the restaurant’s popular wine list with many bottles coming from the nearby Canton Valais vineyard region.
