The spa and pool were amazing and needed after skiing and being in the cold. The rooms were super clean and all of the staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful.
Great views and a pleasant stay overall. The panorama is truly beautiful and definitely the highlight. The spa is very nice and new, and exceeded expectations. The staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside is that the rooms feel slightly outdated and could benefit from a refresh.
Charming hotel with a most unconventional tunnel entrance. Beautiful view of the Matterhorn from my room. Great restaurant and the spa was the perfect end after a day in the mountains.
Schönegg Chalet Hotel was a fantastic stay! Stunning Matterhorn views, cozy and spotless rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout. The spa and sauna area was a great bonus after a day out.
The hotel has beautiful views, a warm atmosphere, and very friendly staff who made us feel welcome throughout most of our stay.
However, we were quite surprised and disappointed on the last day when the hotel closed entirely with very short notice. We were not expecting this at all and suddenly had to figure out where to keep our belongings and how to manage the rest of our plans. It was stressful and definitely not the ending we had hoped for.
Aside from this issue, the stay was wonderful — but clearer communication would have made a big difference.
Memorable stay at the Schönegg. Staff was friendly and professional, the amenities are mind-blowing (pool, spa, terrace, lounge, etc.), the location is relatively central but still far from the noise from bars etc. All in all a fantastic stay and we’re very satisfied to have spent a wonderful vacation at the hotel. Shoutout to Grete, their super talented masseuse for making the holiday even more relaxing.
It’s worth the splurge for a room with a view. The view was amazing. The pool and sauna area are also great with a great view. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was worried it would be too far from the main road but the location was perfect and easy and right next to the ski rental shop and lift. Breakfast was good and they have a shuttle from the train station. 10/10 would definitely stay here again. Everything was perfect.
High up just above the village accessible by the hotel’s own tunnel and lift up through the rock (takes about 3 minutes from the street level) gives the hotel a wonderful quiet and exclusive position looking down on Zermatt and up to the Matterhorn. The view from the terrace, dining room and Matterhorn view rooms is fantastic and the quality and cleanliness of the Schönegg and friendliness of the staff is exemplary. They are getting a new spa and indoor-outdoor pool for winter 2024/25 which will make it even better (especially if the weather is hot). Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel!

The setting and the views from this hotel are amazing. It is, however, overpriced for what you get--the facilities are starting to show their age. My room--105--had no view, had a terrible shower, and was in real need of a makeover. For three hundred bucks a night for a single I expected much more.
First of all, location location location. It is a VERY easy walk from the train to the tunnel that takes you to the elevator that takes you up to the hotel. Or you could just call them and ask them to send the “car”. Our room faced the Matterhorn and I’m convinced we had the best view in the entire town. Staff is friendly, food that we did have was good. Only issue we faced was the bed being on the slightly anemic side.

We absolutely loved this hotel! The staff was amazing and so kind. The views were incredible! Food was also incredible including the breakfast included with the stay!! We had to leave super early our last day for a train and they even packed us breakfast bags for the go which was so sweet and made our early morning easy and delicious! Only complaint is the shower. I don’t know if all rooms have it but it’s just a handheld shower head on the wrong side making it difficult to shower and get water all over the floor. So some shower updates and this place would be perfection!
