Overview: hotel description: Hotel Excelsior description

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.

Matterhorn Views

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.

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.

This package holiday to Hotel Excelsior in Zermatt, Switzerland departs Saturday 17th January 2026, for a 7 night stay on a "bed & breakfast" board basis. A local tourist tax (Taxe de Sejour or Kurtaxe) is levied by many councils in European ski resorts. It varies by standard and type of accommodation and is age dependent, so not everyone is charged.

Zermatt belongs to Switzerland's Valais canton, which rubs shoulders with the Italian Alps. You'll find it surrounded by nearly a third of Europe's 4000m peaks and, most notably, right at the foot of the Matterhorn. Even if you haven't heard of this mountain, chances are you'd recognise it - national landmark of Switzerland, the inspiration for the Toblerone and a peak photographed more than any other. Besides the picturesque scenery, these mighty mountains come with a cool climate, ever-white glaciers and ...
There are 200km of runs in the local area alone and a massive 360km overall if you count the Matterhorn's Italian side. With Cervina, Zermatt forms the 'Matterhorn Ski Paradise' where SNO lovers of all abilities are blessed with high altitude terrain - and lots of it! Everyone's a winner in a ski area this big and brilliant. Still, if we had to pick where it shines, we'd say it's incredibly fantastic for intermediate and advanced level skiers and snowboarders. If you're a keen beginner, you'll love Zermatt,...
Zermatt has voted the world's best après ski resort by the World Snow Awards in the past, making it a wise choice if you want a whale of a time post-skiing. Sure – it doesn't come cheap, but you won't find better if you want quality. Across sixty bars and numerous nightclubs, you can relax, unwind and party through the night. Harry's Bar is the place to dance to cheesy pop and Papperla offers a pubby atmosphere, but you can't come to Zermatt without being tempted into the Hennu Stall (at the end of the Furi-Ze...
