Hotel Firefly

Hotel Firefly offers a 21^st-century take on the traditional Alpine lodge. A classic chalet look meets modern touches such as contemporary interiors and a sleek, glass-and-steel-roofed spa. All surrounded by stunning views of the soaring peaks of the Valais Alps.

This family-owned, all-suite hotel fuses stylish looks with personal service and an exclusive atmosphere. A truly boutique retreat, Hotel Firefly is home to just 16 spacious suites – all individually decorated to reflect the elements of fire, earth, water and air. Many take this elemental inspiration further, with open fires encased in glass, and balconies for taking in the mountain air. There’s plenty to enjoy before you even step outside. Swim in the sleek, stainless steel swimming pool, experience the Schnapps Distiller sauna – or keep things more traditional with a relaxing massage.

Beyond the front door, there’s Zermatt’s exhilarating ski runs to explore – including the all-year routes on Theodul Glacier. In summer, take the cog railway to Gornegat for spellbinding views of forests, mountains and the majestic Matterhorn. Or simply stroll through Zermatt, with its streets filled with cafés, boutiques and restaurants. If you’re not dining out, cook up a meal in your private kitchen back at Hotel Firefly. Then end the evening in style with a nightcap at Bar 55.
