# Unique Hotel Post in Zermatt

> Zermatt is a renowned Swiss ski resort at the foot of the Matterhorn, blending fashionable luxury with rustic alpine village charm. The Unique Hotel Post sits at the heart of the action on Bahnhofstrasse and offers modern mountain-lodge style rooms, a spa, and multiple dining venues.

## Destination
Zermatt, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland — at the foot of the Matterhorn.

## Getting there
Zermatt is accessible by the Glacier Express scenic train, terminating at Zermatt station; the Hotel Post is on Bahnhofstrasse directly in the town centre.

## Why visit
A mix of fashionable luxury destination and idyllic alpine village, with the iconic Matterhorn as a backdrop and a lively après-ski and dining scene.

## What to see
- **The Matterhorn** — Iconic pyramid peak known locally as 'Horu'; best viewed on clear days as it frequently shrouds itself in cloud and snow.
- **Zermatt village chalets** — Traditional Wallis chalets with rustic charm that are particularly atmospheric at dusk when village lights come on.

## What to do
- **Glacier Express panorama ride** — Scenic train journey through mountain scenery, across chasms and through valleys, terminating at Zermatt.
- **Spa at Hotel Post** — Wellness area featuring sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi, and lifestyle showers.
- **Dining at Pöstli Stübli** — Rustic restaurant serving grilled specialties on hot stones, fondue, and raclette.
- **Dining at Portofino Restaurant** — More elegant on-site restaurant serving upscale dishes in refined surroundings.
- **Spaghetti & Pizza Factory** — Casual in-hotel restaurant offering Mediterranean-style pizza and pasta.
- **Bars and clubs at Hotel Post** — Multiple bars and clubs with live music located within the hotel.

## Good to know
The Unique Hotel Post has 29 rooms and suites furnished with natural regional materials including sand-blasted wood and dry-stone walls; Junior Suites offer a fireplace or private Jacuzzi, and the top-tier Matterhorn Suite is available for a premium experience. The hotel ranked 8th in the best 4-star winter hotels category. For a quieter alternative, the Matthiol hotel on the edge of Zermatt is recommended.
