I had the best stay at Julen Hotel, with the most amazing surprise of a Matterhorn view from the room. Waking up to a refreshing morning with champagne at breakfast, the room was lovely and spacious, adorned with cute flowers on the balcony. After hiking at Gornergrat and Sunnegga, the pool and sauna spa were perfect for muscle relaxation, making it the best consecutive nights. I used to stay at Alarina nearby, but Julen surpasses it in every aspect!
