Belvedere Swiss Quality Hotel Grindelwald

Our stay at Hotel Belvedere in Grindelwald was truly unforgettable and easily one of our best travel experiences. We stayed in a top-floor room, and the views were simply breathtaking. From our room, we enjoyed uninterrupted panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, waking up each morning to snow-capped peaks and golden light spilling across the mountains. It felt like a postcard come to life. The hotel’s location is perfect—just a short walk from the station, making it incredibly convenient for day trips and onward journeys around the region. Despite the central location, the hotel feels peaceful and luxurious. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, setting the tone for the rest of our stay. A special thank you to Yanna, who provided an excellent check-in experience and shared wonderful suggestions on things to do in and around Grindelwald. She, along with the rest of the team, was exceptionally polite, warm, and helpful throughout our stay. The lobby and bar deserve special mention. The lobby offers stunning views that you can enjoy even before heading out for the day, and the bar is beautifully designed—chic, cozy, and perfect for relaxing after a day in the mountains. The highlight, however, was the spa and outdoor heated pool. Swimming in the warm pool while snow was falling around us was magical and something we will never forget. It was the perfect blend of luxury and alpine charm. Overall, Hotel Belvedere exceeded our expectations in every way—from the views and location to the service and amenities. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Grindelwald.

The Belvedere is an outstanding, family-run hotel: super comfortable, with excellent facilities and wonderful service, but completely unpretentious. I think I relax there more than in any other hotel in which I have stayed. It is perfectly located in Grindelwald near the town railway station and on the 121 bus route to the Terminal and First gondola stations. The views of the Eiger, Wetterhorn and Schreckhorn are stunning. Rooms are spotless, comfortable and warm with lots of storage. There is a lovely bar and lounge with free soup in the afternoons, and the pool/wellness centre is excellent. The pool is big enough for serious swimmers. The restaurant is great for breakfast or dinner, and there are Michelin star and fondue options (the latter in cute converted former gondola cars) too. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. There is nice live music every night. I cannot recommend it warmly enough.

We stayed two nights in an Eiger View room and had a wonderful experience. The breakfast spread was excellent, and the views were stunning whenever the clouds cleared. The room rate included access to the sauna and pool, which was a great bonus after a day out. The minibar was included, and thoughtful touches like heated bathroom floors and an electronic bidet added to the comfort of the stay. Transfers were arranged by the hotel and done using a Bentley, which was a nice and memorable touch. Overall, this stay offered superb value, combining comfort, service, and views very well.

I had a wonderful stay at the Belvedere Hotel in Grindelwald. The rooms were very comfortable and the stunning views of the Eiger mountain and the Alps were truly breathtaking. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were a great bonus. A special shout out to Christine, Yanna Torres and Fred at the front desk for their warm and attentive service, and to Belem from housekeeping, who was incredibly kind and helpful when I asked for information. Highly recommend this place... ah, and great food! Walking distance from the train station 🚉

We stayed at the Belvedere for 7 nights across New Year. It was fantastic. It’s a family run hotel which has recently passed between generations, and it goes from strength to strength. There are new modern touches but the traditions have been respected. That’s rare! Close to the central station and all the shops etc of Grindelwald, and there is a regular bus from the bottom of the driveway to Terminal and a free hotel ski-bus. So, very easy. Our room was always beautifully clean, and the staff in the bar and restaurant wonderful (shout outs to Felix, Alina, Rene, Arturo and the whole team for looking after us). We stayed half board and the food was outstanding and pretty varied. We were also allowed to substitute some dishes from the a la carte menu, which was great. On reception the staff were so helpful and responsive and always smiling! Thanks to Roxanne for all her work on our booking! We also want to compliment the excellent pianist and the team who organised the New Year's Eve feast and entertainment. We had a fantastic evening. We used the ski bus on several mornings and we were looked after superbly. In short, everything was perfect.

Late to post! We (husband and self) stayed at the Hotel Belvedere last summer, July 6-10. The front desk personnel were so kind and accommodating. We arrived in the morning, so our room was not quite ready, but they encouraged us to store our suitcases and walk around a bit. Within less than 30 minutes, our room was ready and with an upgrade. Although we did not pay the extra for an Eiger view, we had such a charming view out of our balcony window. However, our bathroom window afforded us the most picturesque view as it looked down over the town and the quintessential Swiss alpine homes. The room was nice sized for the two of us, pristine with comfortable beds and the ubiquitous comforters along with a kettle, refrig, and all the necessary items including robes and slippers. Plenty of place to hang clothes and drawer space was more than enough. The bathroom was a good size and offered the aforementioned window, which was so pleasant to open in a steamy bathroom if desired. Town was a mere 5 minutes away up a slight hill. We were told we could get a free bus ride almost outside the hotel but enjoyed the walk. The hotel is nestled on a lot that while so close to town, feels very private. The flowers were in bloom and the landscaping is serene. The hotel was very quiet although it was almost at capacity. Children were in the hotel but no loud noises or squeals. My favorite part of the hotel was by far the clean and beautiful indoor pool. As a daily swimmer, I have swum in pools of decreasing clarity and hygiene. The Belvedere's pool wins over all hotels ever, which is a lot, and pools in the U. S. and Europe. The atmosphere was Zen-like and the extras, spa, showers, and towels were lush. A close second to the pool were the abundant breakfasts in the hotel’s restaurant. A virtual serve-yourself spread of breads, eggs, meats, oatmeal, fruits, pastries, hot chocolate, teas, and coffees were available in a relaxed setting looking out at the Eiger. It was hard every morning to pull ourselves away to go hiking or shopping. We had fondue one night in the hotel, which was filling and excellent. Again, the view adds to any meal in the restaurant and reservations were easily made at the front desk. If one plans in advance, which we did not, they even offer fondue meals in little Männlichen gondola, which looked so cozy and romantic! The owners, a fourth generation, I believe, hosted a canapes and champagne evening one night, which we attended. They were lovely; we stayed a few minutes and then wandered out to the magnificent wrap around porch with the sweeping views of the Watterhorn and the north face of the Eiger, and perhaps the Monch. I didn’t use the hot tub but believe all three can be seen from it. The porch is spacious and has places to sit and sip a drink and couches to enjoy the views. The stay was made even more wonderful by the gracious front desk personnel, who were always accommodating to my requests. They helped me discuss the best type of train pass to get and offered suggestions for day trips. Upon our return each afternoon, we were greeted by name and welcomed back. They always asked about our day and our plans for the evening. Nothing was intrusive. It felt like we were returning home each evening. When we had an early morning departure, they offered to-go cups and wished us a lovely trip. We never felt as if we were a room number; we felt like cherished guests even though we didn’t have the most expensive suite nor eat dinner every night there. They seemed to genuinely want us to enjoy our trip, do what we wanted, be available to help us with plans, and return as friends each day/night. Their extra touches like nuts and candies at the snack bar and pin cushions with safety pins illustrate their attention to detail and desire to meet their guests’ needs and wants. Well done! This is our fourth visit to the Hotel Grindelwald but our first to the Belvedere. We hope to return many times in the future! PS – any questions, just ask.

Rooms clean, service perfection. Some rooms and levels are under renovation but they don’t make any noises so it’s all well managed. Location is perfect, if you need any arrangements to train station you can always arrange a pickup with the hotel reception, it’s a good service. Also outside there is a bustop which brings you to the Terminal, perfect for guests who want to go Top of Europe. It is a close walk to the Main Street, where you can find lots of restaurants and shops. I love the hotel breakfast good view big spaces with many food varieties, there are white rice and miso soup, sadly it doesn’t have Japanese curry since this will fit very well in what they already had. They also have a nice bar, unique cheese gondola fondue experience, outdoor hot pool is a winner! Overall it’s a wonderful stay over at the hotel.

One of the best hotels we have stayed at! The staff were amazing - friendly and warm. The hotel is beautiful. Really spacious with a lovey spa and restaurant. The food was phenomenal - would even say close to Michelin star quality. It's also great for kids with a lovely games room downstairs. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
