L'Etoile Ice Skating Rink

The only reason I gave this hotel 4 instead of 5 stars is the room layout. Otherwise, the hotel is exceptional. The property is beautiful, the staff is outstanding, and our stay was wonderful. We stayed in a Premier Room with stunning Matterhorn views. It was immaculate and featured dual sinks, a separate toilet, a soaking tub, steam shower, and sauna. The layout, however, could be improved. The vanity has very little counter space because the raised sinks occupy most of it. The soaking tub, located at the foot of the bed, prevents the balcony door from opening fully and blocks access to the steam shower and sauna when open. The desk is too close to the bed, so if someone is seated there, it's difficult to reach the closet or room entrance. We also noticed that sound insulation seemed limited, as hallway and neighboring room noise was easily heard. Despite these issues, this is a beautiful hotel with exceptional service. Better room functionality and soundproofing would make it an easy 5-star stay.

Room was cleaned. Entrance door locked us out, trying to open it proved difficult and the assistance of a strong shoulder. Breakfast eggs were terrible and worse the service. Either they are short handed or don’t care. Same applies for the bar and service. When my adult sons with his wife joined us nobody asked what they would like to drink or eat. Made a claim to the manager he wanted to dismiss it by only charging us for the coffee. Definitely will not use this hotel even if they paid me.
