"The tranquil village of Adelboden sits in a forested valley in the heart of Switzerland's Bernese Oberland, surrounded by pine-covered hills and snow-capped peaks. At 1,350m above sea level, it’s a veritable snow globe in the winter months, with easy access to the slopes. Come summer, the landscape melts and blooms into a verdant Eden for scenic hikes, bike rides and wild swims. And where other Swiss ski resorts are all glitz and glamour, this cluster of gingerbread chalets has an abundance of retro charm and laid-back indulgence - all encapsulated perfectly within The Brecon. Inside this stylish adults-only hotel, mid-century modern meets contemporary chic, but with all the wood-panelled warmth of a classic Alpine retreat. Designed by Amsterdam-based studio Nicemakers, the 18 rooms and four suites are brimming with character and warmth, some opening out onto picturesque balconies. Every detail has been impeccably honed to make you feel right at home, with plush sofas, cosy reading nooks, an open-plan kitchen, and a seamless all-inclusive approach that takes the stress out of ordering (and check-out). But unless your home has a luxurious spa, a panoramic heated pool and unadulterated views of the Adelboden Massif, it will feel deliciously far removed. Highs The location is perfect for skiing in the winter or any number of outdoor pursuits the rest of the year The all-inclusive rates mean there are no nasty surprises at check-out, and the offerings are plentiful and very high-quality The spa is intimate but spacious, with a sauna, steam room and a heated outdoor pool with panoramic views Guests rave about the excellent food, wine and cocktails Many of the rooms have outdoor balconies for taking in that crisp Alpine air Lows There are no twin rooms Spa treatments are not included in the all-inclusive rate No children allowed - a perk for honeymooners" - Handpicked by our hotel experts
