The Grand Hotel Zermatterhof

  

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

Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa, Mahé

The Sunset View

The Gecko Bar

The Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa is located opposite the busy beach of Beau Vallon, North of Mahé Island (first photo of the article).

Late in the afternoon, with Lisa, my friend from Seychelles, I discover the promenade next to the beach, with many restaurants, bars … and barbecues of fresh fish! 

It’s very lively and crowded (too much people for me). I am happy to have spent most of my stay in the South of Mahé which is more preserved and quiet.

At the Gecko Bar (photo above), one of the restaurants and bars of the Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean (photo below). 

The Room

Great Bedding

The comfortable functional room has a well-equipped bathroom with separated bath, shower and toilet. Nice details: L’Occitane bath products. And a little balcony with a view of the swimming pool, where I used to rest on a sofa the afternoons.. 

The Swimming Pool

Huge And Graphic  

The largest pool in the Seychelles islands! To be honest, I didn’t have time to swim there, because I was busy to visit the different parts of Mahé. I like the tiled drawing of the flowers (photo montage above), more graphic in the evening with the lights.

Boasting a central position in the vast complex, the pool is close to the Grand Savoy restaurant, where I had breakfasts and dinner.

The Gardens

Many Shades Of Green

I really enjoy stopping on the way and stroll ing in one of those greenery oases (photo above). Luxuriant and scattered on all the resort, they offer a little freshness and privacy.
