The Arc-en-ciel is very nice hotel in the traditional sense within walking distance to Gstaad town centre. Convenient location 2 mniutes walk to the Egglistrasse chair lift and across the road from a ski hire shop. Whilst Gstaad is generally expensive and this was not a bargain stay we felt that given the food, room size, comfort of the beds... More

As always the hotel Arc En Ciel is a pleasure to stay at, comforting to see so many of the staff are the same year after year, it’s a bit like seeing old friends. One of the best things is the location at the base of one of the ski slopes in Gstaad, so it’s either 2 mins walk to... More

When visiting a friend staying at Hotel Arc-en-ciel, I liked it and asked if they had a room. Fully booked and it was 28th December. We than booked somewhere else at exorbitant price and soon after that Hotel Arc-en-Ciel called and told us that they had a cancellation and like to offer a double room for 540CHF per night. Not...

Thank you for your comments. I am very sorry about the problem with the garage door. It has been fixed the next day and now it is working perfectly. The incident at the breakfast is not excusable and I regret it. I told my restaurant Manager to be more thoughtful and not react in this way. More

No, this is not the Palace, or the Grand, but it costs a fraction as much, and in many ways is just as nice. If you have young children...say between about 3 and 7, there is NO other choice in Gstaad as far as I'm concerned. The amenities for children in this hotel are amazing. There are not one but...

We spent 7 nights here during August 2012 and definitely plan to return. Gstaad is a lovely town with all the amenities you need (supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants etc) as well as a number of high end designer boutiques. It is clearly an upmarket town and hence the accommodation options were a little pricier than for other towns. It offers fantastic... More

We ate here after we'd hiked down from the cable car and we were pretty tired, although it was late the staff organised a table for us and went to check what was available - but basically we could have what we wanted. So we opted for two salads with wine and a long rest!! We were there a long... More

We stayed here for 5 days during January 2012. The room was great, comfortable, large by European standards. The views were beautiful. The staff was attentive and helpful. Downtown was a short 5 minute walk. Would love to go back.

We stayed only one night in a superior room in the Residence near the hotel. The room was large, cosy and modern for this kind of "chalet architecture". No bath tub but a beautiful design bathroom. Breakfast (included) is awesome and staff people were very nice in the morning. At night, in the restaurant, the Maitre D' was not very... More

I stayed here with nine family members ages 9-79. We took over the 4th floor and had plenty of room. The hotel is directly across from the ski rental place and right next to the slopes. It is ideal if you are here on a ski vacation. It is an easy 10 minute walk to the center of town if... More
