Boutique Hotel la Gorge

Our annual ski boys trip to Europe this year was to saas fee, Switzerland, as we had already done all the household name resorts. We found, booked and started a week this month at the relatively unknown Hotel La Gorge, it was simply the most impressive 3* hotel I’ve ever experienced. Completely and beautifully reimagined in recent years, the setting (on a rock face over a gorge) the architecture, the all-custom fittings and furnishings were really jaw-dropping, unexpectedly beautiful. The restaurant was the a total surprise, food, menu, prep, service all way above. Unfortunately that secret is out, and we were only able to book 2 dinners there over the week. Young Michael, who runs the place is tireless, friendly, helpful, as were the rest of the staff including charming Marvin, the front man in the restaurant, and staffers Nicole and others. Welcoming, helpful, all. The suites are beautiful, comfy, quiet. Getting there takes some attention to travel details, but Michael was able to pick us up with luggage at the end of the road into Saas Fee, which has no car traffic. More on the cute friendly town later, but book Hotel La Gorge now, before everyone else discovers it. Except for lack of a spa, it’s a 5* experience for a 3* price. Short walk to the ski lifts, and to dozens of fun little restaurants. These folks know hospitality. They only lack mass marketing. That will find them.

Quelle belle découverte ! L’hôtel est rénové avec beaucoup de goût, les chambres sont très belles tout comme les salles de bain. Ma chambre avait un balcon, très calme et une taille très confortable. La salle du petit déjeuner (aussi restaurant le soir) est magnifique avec vue spectaculaire sur la gorge et sur les montagnes. Tout est fait avec goût. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Un vrai plaisir. Et comme déjà mentionné plus bas l’hôtel se trouve à 5’ du départ de l’Alpine express. Seul bémol mais pas insurmontable, il n’y a pas d’ascenseur pour monter dans les chambres.
