We stayed for our honeymoon, and it was perfect. Tranquil, separated from the aprés scene, perfect ski in ski out for first tracks every day before the gondolas started bringing people from town. Breakfast and dinner were included and absolutely top tier dining every day. The staff were helpful and welcoming. The baggage service from the train was incredibly helpful so that we didn’t have to haul our luggage across the ski hill. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We plan on returning! ##### Hang Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALICIA ESTHER 11 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Excelent and with the best view The hotel is located at an exclusive and perfect part of the Alps! The hotel, the service and the food are amazing! Just a thing: you maybe think about an agreement with the transportation company to give day pases to the train to Hotel Gests, so we don’t have to pay every day and for every section of the trip ![Hotel Restaurant View](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C0D1B271A44ECE61CD5583AA78D6F28F1AE59D401702293267024.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ALICIA ESTHER Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian 1 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing experience!!! Hotel has a perfect location, offering breathtaking views of Matterhorn and Zermatt valley. Breakfast is an unforgettable experience for sure, again for the views around; and the food offering. Then, you have the most impressive chef; Jovanni is very passionate about his work, comes to the table to explain the details of his creation. Each night is a different epicurean journey. Such an unexpected, unbelievable treat!!! Thank you so much!!! ##### Adrian Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bianca 19 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Came for 1 night, stayed for 3! We had the most unforgettable stay at Riffelhaus 1853, and I can’t say enough good things about the incredible team here. Dior and Sven went above and beyond for us, and every single staff member made us feel truly cared for over the last four days. Their kindness, professionalism, and warmth made all the difference in the unique situation we were all just in. That kind of service is rare, and it meant the world to us. We wouldn’t trade the experience we just had for anything. We’re leaving with full hearts and a deep appreciation for all the people who made it so special. We will definitely be back—and until then, we’ll be singing the praises of Riffelhaus to everyone we know. Thank you for everything. You truly are something special! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8A0E65D1678C7040A994119D3F5E062CC6C1B5221745100328538.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B7A4912ABD3E018AD09D223CA9B85E311ACA52DD1745100328386.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C05B6D7196E203A596E514ED1B458AE4B3B3DF161745100328697.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5325CC3EE99CA07543E3C28EE6BABF8EC24FF8881745100364408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bianca Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlene 14 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome views.

I cannot describe how beautiful the location is, the photos don't do it justice. The spa was great, and they probably have the worlds best hot tub view. The staff was incredibly kind and greeted us at the train stop to take our bags. There are plenty of walking trails right near the property. The staff spoke multiple languages and were incredibly kind. It was a unique experience and I hope one day I can go back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2A2575EC6CBDF28C4E3B03D2979F00D1BD985B2D1689371990589.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/64584CC03B336F811A20FE37992B0EAB4672A6D41689371992767.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6B4D3BA53E096EA4AC6B0EB4253F49AFBED512F81689371993481.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9FB1A095AAF6A938539AE6B3340400DCB6F009931689371987069.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kerrin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ranier 23 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Zermatt’s best-kept secret. Nestled in the middle of the Zermatt Matterhorn, this 170 year old hotel integrates modern amenities while maintaining its historical roots along with breathtaking views. Riffelhaus 1853 does not disappoint and often leaves the guest with a once-in-a-lifetime experience and incredibly lucky for such a hotel to exist. It houses only 25 rooms/suits allowing for the staff to give you more personalized attention. Unlike most 170 year old hotels, Riffelhaus 1853 does an amazing job integrating modern amenities. The rooms and bathrooms were very modern with a sense of alpinist style unique to the locality. The rooms were average sized for the price; however, most guest come for the amazing view and location of this hotel rather than the size of the room. The reputation of the Riffelhaus’ Wellness Center and Spa experience is what originally motivated me to book this stay. This may be the crown jewel of the property as there is no other place like this in Zermatt. Their hot tub perched at the top of about 2582 meters overlooking the Matterhorn and the whole of Zermatt is the most beautiful in the entire area. I challenge anyone else to provide pictures of a better hot tub view. People from all over the world travel just for this experience. The large dry sauna faces a wall of glass from the ceiling to the floor that overlooks the Matterhorn and Alps and situates multiple people comfortably. ##### Ranier ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Altein Arosa, a Faern Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arosa-Hotels-Arenas-Resort-Altein.h5204851.Hotel-Information) > > [Kempinski Palace Engelberg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Engelberg-Hotels-Kempinski-Palace-Engelberg.h64125002.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunstar Hotel Grindelwald](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-Sunstar-Hotel-Grindelwald.h177581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Roc et Neige](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chateau-DOex-Hotels-Hotel-Roc-Et-Neige.h17331086.Hotel-Information) > > [Swiss Holiday Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morschach-Hotels-Swiss-Holiday-Park-Resort.h3568573.Hotel-Information) > > [Languard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Moritz-Hotels-Languard.h1202429.Hotel-Information) > > [Montreux Lake View - The Freddie Mercury residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montreux-Hotels-Montreux-Lake-View-The-Freddie-Mercury-Residence.h30603250.Hotel-Information) > > [BERGWELT GRINDELWALD | ALPINE DESIGN RESORT](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-Bergwelt-Grindelwald.h68123813.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Silberhorn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lauterbrunnen-Hotels-Hotel-Silberhorn.h1206941.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Restaurant Balm Meggen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meggen-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-Balm-Meggen.h1339976.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Hotel Alex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zermatt-Hotels-Resort-Hotel-Alex.h1107415.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascada Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lucerne-Hotels-Cascada-Boutique-Hotel.h27102.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chedi Andermatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Andermatt-Hotels-The-Chedi-Andermatt.h6657290.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Spinne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-Hotel-Spinne.h7601.Hotel-Information) > > [AMERON Luzern Hotel Flora](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lucerne-Hotels-Ameron-Luzern-Hotel-Flora.h7551.Hotel-Information) > > [Eiger Lodge Chic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-EIGER-LODGE-CHIC.h69807466.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Geneva Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Versoix-Hotels-Lake-Geneva-Hotel.h10205057.Hotel-Information) > > [Everness Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chavannes-De-Bogis-Hotels-Everness-Hotel-Resort.h7747.Hotel-Information) > > [Pension Heino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saas-Grund-Hotels-Pension-Heino.h4241250.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Spalentor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Basel-Hotels-Hotel-Spalentor.h1095190.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Hotel Glacier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel-Glacier.h21559650.Hotel-Information) > > [Dorint Blüemlisalp Beatenberg/Interlaken](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beatenberg-Hotels-Dorint-Bluemlisalp-BeatenbergInterlaken.h28340.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen, Andermatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Andermatt-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Reussen.h31357081.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bären - The Bear Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilderswil-Hotels-Hotel-Baren-The-Bear-Inn.h972122.Hotel-Information) > > [Seehotel Pilatus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hergiswil-Hotels-Seehotel-Pilatus.h991294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Central Luzern](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lucerne-Hotels-Hotel-Central-Luzern.h4813.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantik Hotel Schweizerhof](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grindelwald-Hotels-Romantik-Hotel-Schweizerhof.h1055038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Engel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emmetten-Hotels-Hotel-Engel.h11914828.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Luzern - Kriens by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kriens-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Luzern-Kriens.h29874288.Hotel-Information)
