“I think this hotel's isolated perch atop the Gornergrat is its ultimate draw, offering views that truly feel unmatched, especially before the day's first crowds arrive. Dining appears a highlight, with attentive service elevating the experience. Though a proper in-room coffee setup seems warranted at this price point, the overall experience promises a memorable, high-altitude escape.”
