Historic Hotel du Pillon

great hotel, with great vibe ideal for hiking

Everything was amazing! Owner Francis was very welcoming and the atmosphere was delightful. We picked the special “military room” which was lovely, the bed was very comfortable. It was so quiet, all you could hear were the distant cow bells. Breakfast was perfect. We will come back!

Utterly delightful experience at historic Hotel du Pillon. We had American friends visiting us in Switzerland and they want a truly authentic Swiss Alps experience. Hotel du Pillon could not have been more perfect. Gorgeous views of the Alps and the small mountainside chalets, the little village (walkable from hotel), and neighboring small farms. Very close to Glacier 3000 which offers spectacular Alps views and activités like walking along the glacier to a small restaurant. But best of all was proprietor Francis’ hospitality. He made us feel so at home as we enjoyed the terrace, the fireplace room, and the living room. He made sure we had everything we needed for our picnic one day. And he had a great sense of humor and great recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend.

Excellent family ski trip to the Swiss Alps on public transport via train from Geneva airport. We were bedroom #14 for 4 persons - original 19th century doors / locks and parquet flooring. Francis and Carla were the house parents that catered for our every need giving this hotel a family feel. Carla cooked for us most evenings with traditional fare including house specialities Macaroni a la Pillon and risotto milanese, buffet swiss breakfast was filling and we loved getting to use the Nespresso Professional Pod/Capsule coffee machine. Francis went out of his way to cater for gluten free Mrs T. and ferried us to/from the Telecabine or bar L'Ormonan in the evenings. Thank you. We'll be back. The skiing and mountain dining in the area was exceptional.

We love Hotel du Pillon! It is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. The rooms are comfortable and charming, meals are delicious (the macaroni, fondue and lamb are not to be missed), and Francis and team are very welcoming. It is fun to enjoy a glass of wine by the fire after dinner, and to visit with the other guests. We also like the quick walk into Les Diablarets village, as well as taking our dogs for walks along the trails by the hotel. The only bad thing about the hotel is having to leave! :) Thank you for another wonderful vacation.

A family hotel with an adorable staff , great views of the surrounding areas , smoking balconies, massage room, a heated ski room , beautiful interior decorations and very cosy rooms with comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend this destination to any family hoping to stay in Diablerets

Exceptionnel! Amazing hotel:) On a même une belle vue depuis la salle de bain 😍 Will come back soon 🤞Location is great! Delicious fondue 🫕 On of the best boutique mountain hotels in CH 👌Karla and Francis very helpful hosts. We felt like home 🏡

This was one of the best times we have had in Switzerland! L’Hotel du Pillon is special and spectacular. The host, Francis, provides a warm welcome and a perfect balance of gracious hospitality with erudite knowledge, especially of the art world. Wonderful paintings adorn the walls and staircases along with books and magazines. The rooms were spacious, sparkling clean with sweeping views to the snowy mountains. Perfect dog too! Wish we could have stayed longer than two nights and for sure we will be back as soon as possible.

Great place for a summer getaway. The owner and staff were extremely helpful, even drove us personally to the train station in the morning. Will be coming back!
