Top Saanen Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection

Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay. Hotel is extremely clean, as was our room. Housekeeping provided excellent service. Reception were good. Only issue was that staff had no knowledge or recommendations regarding parking. We basically had to figure out the most cost effective option on our own. I would suggest they brush up on this."
