Hotel Continental
Central Zermatt, close to lifts, with spa access
About this hotel
The Hotel Continental places you right in the heart of Zermatt, making it a practical base for exploring the village and hitting the slopes. Its prime location, just 150 metres from both the train station and the Gornergratbahn ski lift, means you can transition from arrival to the mountain with ease. Rooms are equipped with modern comforts like flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms, with some offering a seating area for added space. Mornings begin with a substantial buffet breakfast featuring regional products, setting you up for a day on the snow. While the hotel doesn't have its own spa, guests benefit from reduced entry to the Vita Borni spa at its sister property, the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, a short walk away.

Our take
Hotel Continental is a central three-star in Zermatt, 150 metres from the train station and the Gornergrat railway, and I would book it for travellers who want an easy arrival and a short walk to the first train up. The buffet breakfast is a strength, and guests get reduced entry to a nearby spa since there is none on site. A 7.6 score from 416 reviews says practical rather than refined.
- Take advantage of the reduced entrance to the Vita Borni spa for a relaxing evening after skiing.
- Use the hotel's central location to explore Zermatt's shops and restaurants on foot.
- Plan your ski days around the Gornergratbahn lift, which is just steps from the hotel.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHotel Continental is right in the centre of Zermatt, 150 metres from the train station and the Gornergratbahn, which made arriving with luggage and kids genuinely easy. The rich buffet breakfast set everyone up for a full day on the slopes. There is no spa on site, but guests get reduced entry to a nearby one, which we used twice. Free WiFi and the central location made it a practical, good-value family base.
