Has the continental Swiss atmosphere...

Welcome to the Alex Schlosshotel Tenne in Zermatt, built in an art nouveau style with luxury and an exclusive atmosphere, inclusive of beautiful antiques which have been collected over the years. The chiseled stonework and baroque-style stepped roofs, coupled with the Art Nouveau decor of its bedrooms and public rooms, make Tenne a welcome change from the many chalet-style hotels that surround it.

Comfort and service are the keynote here, and you live well in Alpine surroundings, with stunning views in most directions. Beds are exceedingly comfortable, and the private tiled bathrooms are of a good size. Each of its junior suites contains a whirlpool bath and a separate sitting room with fireplace. All south-facing rooms have private balconies.

Ok ' as I sit here writing from the lounge at the Hotel Tenne - my friends are downstairs enjoying the sauna and whirlpool. Skiing on the mountains has excellent conditions on the upper slopes - although you wouldn?t ski back to town on your own skis. What is done with rentals is another story. We flew in two days ago and used the Swiss - Rail baggage forwarding. It worked like a charm and our bags arrived at our hotel just a couple of hours after we did..... so we unpacked and slept. The hotel is a bit eclectic. The pillars are marble in the bar - yet the caps are of limestone. Their are rather morbid antiques laying about - like a doll with no arms that is clearly over 100. Sculptures also are used as architectural elements and depict the struggle of woman in switzerland. Some bats hung in a frame decorate the dining room. Stained glass is everwhere with wood carved celings. Then - modern lighting next to 1920 chandeliers. Whats eclectic is it looks as though someone took a swiss barn, turned it into a swiss chalet, and then someone else turned it into a 20^s art deco salon. With jacuzzi bathtubs in the rooms. Now - our room is really spectactular. We are literally directly under the eaves of the house. A slate fireplace in one corner of our living room overlooking the balcony with its views of the Matterhorn. This wasn^t our original room - but we did receive the upgrade on arrival. We have 4X8 beams, dark woods, small windows in some areaÃ¤s ' large modern ones where it counts. The mattrasses are ok - nothing special. Feather duvets in white on the beds. Carpeted room. TV is decent but not blow you away sized. No radio working in our room - though we would like one. The ski room is heated - the gym is well outfitted - but no one uses it. This is because the sister hotel The Alex - has much better facilities. My suggestion would be to stay at the Alex if you want more nightlife in hotel, at the Tenne if you want to get away from it all but still be two minutes from the center of town. Dinner and breakfast is included. And - for Americans that is typically something to be wary of.... our experiences in the U.S. of inclusive meals means buffets with lots of the cheap stuff - with the shrimp running out after the first tray. Here this is a big no. The food is incredible. If your from Philadelphia - it would be comparable to Fork. If your from NY ' one of the better hotel resteraunts. The food has a distinctly french flair. Lightly seasoned, excellent sauces. Our first night Joey had the salmon wrapped in puff pastry with Hollandaise sauce as his main course while I had the Veal. Appetizers were soup and something we couldn?t identify - but which tasted great. There was also a full salad bar. We didn-t make it to desert. Second night I had risotto as the main, with Joey having the duck. Portions are excellent given the fact that you get 5 courses. If you ate any more ' you,d burst. The breakfat buffet is well stocked - no suprises there - but nothing really spectacular. i.e - don,t look for the traditional omelette chef here - but you can order eggs if you like. Otherwise the hotel is very quiet. There is a bar - but it isn.t very packed at night. Most people go to Grampi,s or other bars on the main street. And here - I do have to deliver my major dissapointment in Switzerland in general - and Zermatt in particular. There are no Gay bars or meeting places in the entire town. Now, I find it hard to believe that with 60,000 foreigners in town that there are no gays. But apparently its still very closeted here. Meaning - if you tell someone your gay - be prepared for an hour long conversation about it. I reckon its like taking a trip back to the early 60's in terms of acceptance. So - if your coming alone or with friends - and the opportunity of a vacation romance is on your mind - don't come here. You'll be dissapointed. But - if your coupled or with a group of friends who love skiing and fantastic traditional village - this is the place. Either way you won't experience any discrimination at the Schlosshotel Tenne - but I can't speak for the rest of the town - I mean, not even one mixed local??? Prices will seem high for Americans. We assume included meals are meals you wouldn't feed your dog. But here the food is really much better than most resteraunts. We figure our meals here would go for about One hundred Fifty dollars to two hundred dollars at a resteraunt in NY (2 people, no alcohol). And the breakfast would be your standard buffet. When you add in the price of the meals - it really becomes much less expensive than Vail or Colorado. Figure on 200 a night p..p for an upscale (4 star or better) hotel with meal included. Our total for 11 days with flights and train fare was 2800 per person. We intend to hit the Klein Matterhorn tomorrow. Will write again then.

I and my husband were there in August 2004. It is a very good hotel. Very nice rooms with jacuzzi in all bathrooms. It is quite tucked in the corner but it shares common wall with gornergrat train station. Very good breakfast. It has a small bar. Service is commendable.
