"The Bellevue Palace Hotel is the undisputed Grande Dame of Bern: a Belle Époque icon resplendent with timeless splendour, majestic views and a good dose of old-school romance."

As the undisputed Grande Dame of Bern, the Bellevue Palace Hotel cuts an impressive figure. A tribute to Belle Époque glamour, the hotel has been an icon in the Swiss capital city for over a century and a half and – as the official guesthouse of the Swiss government – has seen its fair share of history. Bellevue Palace has long been frequented by visiting dignitaries and politicians, but it’s also become a fast favourite of couples seeking timeless splendour, majestic views and a good dose of old-school romance.

Book your room based on the view of your choosing, as whether you prefer to gaze out at the Bernese Alps or the River Aare, you really can’t go wrong. Interiors are designed with a nod to the classics: expect stucco ceilings, antique decor, tufted leather and velvet furniture. Upgrade to a suite for more legroom and added flair; regal elements are kicked up a notch with gilded accents and ornate furnishings. In the most magnificent of options, you can find private fitness...   Show more

Interiors are designed with a nod to the classics: expect stucco ceilings, antique decor, tufted leather and velvet furniture. Upgrade to a suite for more legroom and added flair; regal elements are kicked up a notch with gilded accents and ornate furnishings. In the most magnificent of options, you can find private fitness rooms and kitchens, though even the Junior Suites are equipped with Nespresso machines – a rarity in Switzerland (yes, odd, given that Nespresso is a Nestle product from Switzerland itself).

A glittering assortment of eateries await you at the hotel, beginning with Vue Brasserie & Terrace. The cuisine served at Vue is equal parts classic and ambitious, with an intriguing assortment of “crossover” dishes that highlight flavours from around the globe. Vegan and vegetarian guests will find themselves well catered to at Vue, while seafood enthusiasts should head to Le Lobby for some delicious sashimi alongside a cocktail or a glass of one of the bar’s 99 gins. The warm atmosphere of Bellevue Bar is another intriguing option for drinks in light bites, after which cigar aficionados should find their way to Le Fumoir, the hotel’s suave tobacco lounge. For signature cocktails, lounge music and international cuisine prepared in an open kitchen, don’t miss Noumi Bar & Grill.

The cheekily named BELLEViE Gym has all the essentials for a straightforward indoor workout, but you may find yourself preferring to venture outdoors instead. Options for fresh air exercise are many: swim in the River Aare, jog alongside the river banks (the hotel even offers guests maps highlighting the best local routes) or merely go on a long and lazy stroll through the picturesque Old Town. While you’ll have to look elsewhere for a massage or facial, the hotel does have a Finnish Sauna to relax weary muscles after a day spent exploring.
