I recently spent a week at Hotel Beau Rivage, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the lifts and centrally situated yet surprisingly quiet. The amazing views of the Matterhorn from my room were lovely. On the downside, I did face a few minor inconveniences with the TV and some limited breakfast options. Overall, though, my stay was good.
