01 · In a sentence

Boutique Hotel Matthiol in Zermatt, open JuneNovember.

Located at 3,100 meters elevation in Zermatt's car-free village, Boutique Hotel Matthiol eliminates logistical headaches by housing guests and celebrations under one roof.

The 4.7-star rated property offers boutique-scale weddings where your ceremony, reception, and guest accommodations exist within walking distance of each other.

This alpine setting requires guests to arrive by train or cable car, creating a naturally curated celebration where attendees stay multi-day rather than commute.

We did not get a chance to stay with Matthiol but wanted to thank their hospitality for letting us in for a short visit; to use their restrooms. You made our trip so much easier today - Thank you. The reception manager this morning made our day.
