Relaxation Oasis

“The spa at The Rex was a true sanctuary. After a day of skiing, I loved unwinding in the Finnish sauna and transitioning to the hot tub. The serene setting, complete with a large pool and various hydrotherapy experiences, allowed me to treat my sore muscles and melt away any stresses from the day.” view full review

Culinary Delights

“Dining at the Stockhorn restaurant attached to the hotel was a highlight of my stay. The spicy steak skewer I ordered was absolutely epic! The breakfast was also really good, with fresh pastries from the hotel's in-house bakery, which I found to be the best compared to other hotels I visited during my trip in Switzerland.” view full review

Fine Matterhorn Views

“Staying in the Junior Suite with the Matterhorn view was more than I expected. I woke up each morning to amazing views, made my experience lovely. The room was spacious, well-appointed, and very comfortable, making it a perfect retreat after a busy day.” view full review

Pampering Amenities

“The bathroom amenities were also noteworthy. The towel heating racks provided a lovely touch of luxury, and even though the bathroom could have used improved ventilation, it was spacious and well-designed, adding to the overall comfort of my stay.” view full review
