Shopping or relaxing, being active or simply unwinding, enjoying exclusivity or experiencing unforgettable moments with the family – at Arc-en-ciel Gstaad, guests don’t have to choose. Here, contrasts merge into a harmonious holiday experience full of possibilities. Just a stone’s throw from the elegant shopping promenade and even closer to the mountain railways, the family-run hotel offers a perfect balance between lively hustle and bustle and soothing tranquillity.
The Hotel Arc-en-ciel is a real piece of Gstaad history. Founded in 1961 by Heini and Micheline Matti-Perreten, it is now run by the third generation, Amina Matti and her husband Tim Wetli, with great passion and a sense of tradition. They are supported by their mother Christiane Matti, the soul of the house. Together they preserve the special charm of the Arc-en-ciel and lead it into the future with a successful blend of genuine hospitality and modern esprit.

Whether in a standard room, superior room, a chalet suite or in your own holiday flat in Chalet Micheline, just 50 metres from the hotel – first-class service is guaranteed at Arc-en-ciel. What the rooms and holiday flats also have in common: magnificent views of the surrounding mountain peaks, the mountain stream or the mountain forests. The hotel and restaurant are very family-friendly – kids and teenagers appreciate the high fun factor – and parents appreciate the corresponding relief.
