"A boutique Grindelwald property well positioned for access to 45 lifts and 133 miles of piste, offering 28 rooms—some with balconies and private hot tubs—and alpine-French dining from Chef Paul Cabayé. The menu includes inventive and vegetarian-friendly plates such as grilled leeks with smoked kombu beurre blanc and egg yolk prepared in a watercress and leek emulsion, supported by a deep wine list (around 600 Swiss and French labels, 160 available by the glass). Wellness features include a log-lined sauna, heated outdoor whirlpool, steam room, and a relaxation area with warm waterbeds, all ideal after local activities like the First Flieger zipline and Velogemel snow bikes." - Adam H.

"What a great location right in front of the Eiger North Face! The fine dining restaurant of the chic boutique hotel (also called GLACIER) makes the most of its surroundings with a floor-to-ceiling window front – and a wonderful terrace for a magical view! The cuisine is ambitious, modern, creative and seasonal. In the evening, a set menu is available in three formats: "Découverte" with three courses, "Promenade" with five courses and "Excursion" with seven courses (the last two courses are surprise dishes). There are vegetarian versions of all three. Great emphasis is placed on selecting high-quality ingredients, with a preference for supplies from local producers. The 320-year-old wine cellar is home to around 500 labels, 160 of which are also available by the glass. An enthusiastic sommelier provides astute recommendations." - Michelin Inspector

"If ever there was a hotel that efficiently adapted to time and circumstance, it's the Hotel Glacier in Grindelwald. The original hotel opened near the foot of an alpine glacier in 1864, back in the days when huge blocks of ice were harvested and transported by horse and carriage to Interlaken. Over the past century, the glacier has retreated dramatically — only its uppermost portion remains, and it’s a good distance away in the mountaintops — and the hotel has evolved accordingly, with a modified layout that makes the most of the setting while staying true to the property's history." - Tablet Hotels
