A Suite With A View

By Night & Day

I like hotels with a history, the palaces that can reinvent themselves, while maintaining a charm of yesteryear. What a great pleasure to discover my Junior suite at the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof (1879), with wood panels in the entrance and separate dressing room! Photo-montage below: photos 1 and 2, well equipped entrance with coffee maker and mini bar. 

The hotel is located in the center of the village of Zermatt, a stone’s throw from the Matterhorn Museum – Zermatlantis and shopping streets. The first two photos of the article (above): the magnificent views (from my bed and living room) of the village and ubiquitous mountain. Another big crush: the chic contemporary bathroom! The rooms have been recently renovated. 

The lovely detail: the Pillow Menu to test my natural laziness (lol)! Unfortunately with my busy program, I will not have time to stop at the spa!

  

The Restaurants

Dinner At The Say Cheese!

A fondue with champagne and truffles at the Say Cheese! One of the three restaurants of the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, specially dedicated to cheese. The dishes are delicious (photo above and photo montage below). The hot bread (which we cut by square) to dip in the fondue, is amazing!

The minimalist interior design made with stone and wood is warm. The service is perfect and the atmosphere is young. Definetly, THE address where to dine in Zermatt. 

La Brasserie Lusi

In the photo-montage below: 1, my favorite restaurant, the Say Cheese! 2 & 5. Another restaurant of the hotel, the Brasserie Lusi. After the cheese orgy of the day before, I had a tasty light dinner in a classic setting! 3 & 4. Light breakfasts (too) under the glass roof of the Brasserie Lusi. 6. The coat of arms of Zermatt: Prato Borni (is also the name of the gourmet restaurant of the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof).

Le Grand Hotel Zermatterhof à Zermatt

Une suite avec vue

De jour et de nuit

J’aime les hôtels avec une histoire, les palaces qui savent se réinventer, tout en conservant un charme d’antant. Quel plaisir en découvrant ma Junior suite au Grand Hotel Zermatterhof (1879), avec des panneaux de bois clair dans l’entrée et dressing séparés! Photo-montage ci-dessous : photos 1 et 2, l’entrée bien équipée avec cafetière et mini bar. 

L’hôtel est situé au centre du village de Zermatt, à deux pas du Musée du Cervin et de rues commerçantes. D’où cette magnifique vue de mon lit (première photo ci-dessus) et du salon (seconde photo ci-dessus), sur le village et la montagne omniprésente. Autre grand crush : la salle de bain simple, chic et contemporaine! Les chambres ont été rénovées récemment.

Et le fin du fin, le Menu d’Oreillers. Tout pour éprouver ma paresse naturelle (lol)! Programme chargé, je n’aurai malheureusement pas le temps de faire un stop au spa!

  

Les restaurants

Dîner au Say Cheese!

Une fondue au champagne et truffes au Say Cheese! Un des trois restaurants du Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, spécialement dédié au fromage. Les plats sont délicieux (photo ci-dessus et photo-montage ci-dessous). Le pain chaud (que l’on coupe par carré) à tremper dans la fondue, est à tomber!

La déco assez minimaliste de pierre et de bois m’a vraiment plu, le service est au top et la clientèle “jeune”. L’adresse où dîner à Zermatt.

La Brasserie Lusi

Dans le photo-montage ci-dessous : 1, mon restaurant préféré, le Say Cheese! 2 & 5. Autre restaurant de l’hôtel, la Brasserie Lusi, au cadre classique et où j’ai pris un dîner léger et savoureux, après l’orgie de fromage de la veille! 3 & 4. Petits déjeuners légers (aussi) sous la verrière de la grande salle de la brasserie Lusi. 6. Le blason de Zermatt

Departure to Croatia: Pozdrav Zagreb, Hi Zagreb!

Pozdrav Zagreb 

Hello Zagreb! A few days before visiting Opatija, I arrived in the Croatian capital that I did not know: yes, my first time in Croatia!

Very very curious and eager to discover this new destination. Like everyone else, I had in mind some pictures of Dubrovnik, but absolutely none of Zagreb, Opatija and Krk that I will visit too …

I landed at the small airport of Zagreb at 6 p.m (picture1). In the car that leads me to the hotel, I am very impressed with the cleanliness of the streets, not a paper, nothing! A kind of European Japan, with plenty of green spaces. It’s spotless everywhere, awsome! The night is dark when I get to my hotel.

The Esplanade Zagreb

The hotel is a palace built in 1925 to accommodate the passengers of the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul. It sounds very Agatha Christie, doesn’t it? I really enjoy these kind of old palaces, haunted by famous people. Josephine Baker and Woodie Allen stayed here and so many others too! Upon the entry, you can feel the glamour (pictures 3, 4 & 5).

The decoration is inspired by the Art Deco, with lots of marble, gilding, chandeliers and giant mirrors. I really like the atmosphere of the lobby and before checking my room (post to come), I quickly shot these pictures. Last picture: the carpeted corridors leading to the rooms. If you follow this blog, you know how much I’m obsessed with the hotel carpet! Lol! To be continued …
