Spectacular

5 star Hotel. Spectacular views everywhere. 5 star dining. Was there 32 years ago, and they have made substantial upgrades. Will definitely return to do some more serious day hikes. Bring your walking poles and hiking footwear, and enjoy a beer on the terrace afterwards with the best views in the world

The hotel is at 2000M, therefore the view from the window is amazing, great dinner and breakfast included!

Been coming each year since 1971..54 years. I come each year. Unfortunately this year it was cut short due to weather but was handled expertly and with care.

Staff was the greatest ever! Room was great! Dining was awesome! It's sort of a once in a lifetime place to stay During dinner we were entertained by fighting ibexes. On the way down the mountain, via cog train, pronged horn deer were only feet away. Great experience
Carol, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We wanted something remote, away from people, noise and crowds, just a place to relax, read a book in peace, do some hiking and enjoy the scenery. We got that and so much more, it was absolutely breathtaking and serene. The best part is in the evenings when the mountain is closed to public. Everyone there was so nice and helpful, I wish we could have stayed longer.

One of the best hotel

One of the best hotel we have stayed there. Beautiful place to enjoy both sun-rise and sun-set as well as stargazing. We also could see ibexes in the morning. The staff was very friendly and polite and the dinner which was included the package was very delicious. We totally recommend this hotel. Thank you.

Just an amazing location. The hotel was really beautiful and once the rest of the people left the mountain it becomes so quiet. The meal which was included (that was a surprise to us) was spectacular. Only complaint is there is no help at all with baggage getting up there (lots of stairs for the train). So plan for that if possible.
Lisa, 1-night trip

Visiting Mt Pilatus is one thing, but staying on the property after all of the other tourists leave around 5 PM is a truly incredible experience. There is dinner served for hotel guests with the ability to catch an amazing sunset and moon rise all from the same spot. We hope to be back!

Excellent!!!!!

The Pilatus is a hotel you will never forget! You are literally on top of the world! The staff was great. The rooms were fabulous. The view is breathtaking. Dinner was way beyond our expectations. I will never forget the soup. And our waitress was superior! Very well worth every penny.

All about the experience

This hotel is about the location. It is mesmerizingly awesome. Like something you see in the movies. The hotel itself is older and needs updating but the room was clean, and the bed was very good. This is an experience, and one you really won't forget.

10/10 Exceptional

It was not clear that the cog train or gondola was not included in the cost of the first nights stay. It was also confusing that the cog train was in a very different location than the gondola which dropped us off in a difficult location with luggage. Take the cog train if it is running because it is right by the train.
