The room was very clean, with a nice view and excellent housekeeping service. We were also lucky to have such good weather during our stay. I heard the building was just renovated last year—it now has a modern-classic design that I really love! The only drawback was the service, as I had to repeat the same request twice before it was taken care of

I could not recommend more

Amazing hotel, I wish we could stay longer.

Absolutely loved staying at this hotel! We had a beautiful view of the garden and the lake. Super spacious room, very clean and filled with all the amenities including a large bathtub. The hotel facilities specially 2x swimming pools were gorgeous and exceptional. Be sure to use the saunas and steam rooms. You can also take advantage of quiet reading room that no kida allowed. Breakfast was just fantastic, delicious and full of options both western and eastern. Highly recommend this hotel and hope to visit again soon.

Perfect location to the Christmas market and things to see and do. We walked everywhere. I loved this hotel. The staff were amazing and the rooms were comfortable. Older property, which is what Fairmont is and the architecture is beautiful. Christmas decorations everywhere which made is very festive. Public train to anywhere but specifically Zermatt and Geneva airport was very close but take a cab on your way out and there is a large hill (which we found fine) but if you don't want to lug your suitcase behind you up a hill... Definitely recommend this hotel.

Loved the stay except for day 1 as I had to put a hold on my activities as bathroom wasn’t functioning (no hot water for shower) and wasn’t fixed until late night (was initially told it will take an hour). There was hair on hair dryer in the bathroom so cleaning could be better. But great professional staff, would visit again just for them!
