Solo Birthday Stay

Historic Hotel with a Waterfall on the grounds for my solo Birthday trip. Beautiful grounds but definitely not a flawless stay as I had hoped it would be for the price. Highlights were the very clean & cosy room, & endless views of the glacier Brienzersee Lake!

The buffet breakfast was amazing and included in the room rate. We had beautiful weather and took the ferry ride to Interlaken which we highly recommend doing. The walk to the falls is a must. Altogether a wonderful experience in this historic luxury hotel.

The property has great views of the lake and is convenient to get to if you have a car. If not you have to take the boat to get to the hotel. The only problem we had during our stay was the limited options of food available as there are no restaurants nearby besides the hotel restaurant.

This property and surrounding area are beautiful!! I could wander the trails all day. Breakfast is lovely, so many options. My only issue, there was no way to control the temp of the room and it was very warm. However, I wouldn’t let that stop me from returning for another stay!!

The hotel was very grand. It was super clean and very comfortable. It was like stepping back in time. So elegant and beautiful. The property is amazing with views of the waterfalls. I would definitely recommend staying here. Be sure to book early to get a room and a great rate. I had a double room with the half board inclusive. You will not pay more for food but you will pay for drinks.

Tout est parfait, sauf pour l’apéro à 17h00 où seule la partie de la terrasse à l’ombre est ouverte, la partie ensoleillée 5 mètres plus loin, donc « trop loin » restant fermée, du coup seul quelques clients « bénéficient » d’un apéro à l’ombre et avec leur doudoune… dommage !
