Hotel Bellevue Palace

Nice little tea time outside on the terrace with a beautiful view! Staff was very professional and attentive - true old school hospitality spirit. The atmosphere inside was beautiful, made us wish we stayed longer. Will come back to stay in the hotel

We stayed here for our honeymoon and requested a room with a nice view. To our delight, we were given a spacious suite overlooking the Aare River with an absolutely stunning panorama. The room was large, spotlessly clean—including the bathroom—and very comfortable. Having a shower toilet was also a convenient feature.||The staff were not especially warm, but they worked efficiently and left us with a reasonably good impression.||Unfortunately, our experience was ruined at breakfast due to extremely unpleasant treatment. The breakfast area consists of two sections: an outer terrace-facing space with sunlight, river views, and all the buffet food, and an inner room separated by walls and doors. Naturally, the outer area is the more desirable seating.||Despite there being plenty of empty tables outside when we arrived, we were directed to sit inside. At first we thought nothing of it, but soon realized that all the Asian guests had been seated in the inner room, while every table in the outer area was occupied by white guests. To make matters worse, we witnessed an elderly white couple who arrived after us being shown directly to a table outside. The segregation by race was unmistakable.||This discriminatory treatment ultimately left us with the worst possible impression of the hotel. Despite the wonderful aspects such as the beautiful room with its breathtaking view, it is very disappointing that we cannot imagine returning to this property again.||I sincerely hope that other properties belonging to The Leading Hotels of the World do not share the same culture.

I stayed here during a leisure/business trip, researching partner properties in Switzerland. Bellevue Palace has an exceptional location. The lobby and common areas are beautiful - with a traditional elegance. My room was lovely - it was fresh with great bathroom(s) and balcony with a stunning view. This would be my top choice for clients.

My stay at the Bellevue Palace in Bern was truly exceptional. The hotel is a landmark of elegance and history, offering a unique atmosphere that perfectly blends tradition with modern comfort. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed, and many offer stunning views of the Bernese Alps and the River Aare. The service is outstanding, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, making every guest feel special. Its central location, right next to the Federal Palace, is perfect for exploring Bern while enjoying the charm and exclusivity of a grand hotel. Dining at the Bellevue is another highlight, with refined cuisine served in an elegant setting that reflects the character of the hotel.The Bellevue Palace is not just a place to stay, but a true experience of Swiss hospitality at its finest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bern.

We truly enjoyed our stay at your hotel from August 7 to 8, 2025. I would like to express special thanks to Chiara at the reception, who was exceptionally professional, friendly, and welcoming. Thanks to her attentive and kind approach, our check-in and overall stay were very comfortable. Thank you for the warm atmosphere and your care for guests. We left with only the most pleasant impressions and will definitely return.

Over the top service at Hotel Bellevue! I can't say enough about the staff here! We recently stayed at several other high end hotels in Switzerland on our trip.The staff at Hotel Bellevue were by far the most welcoming and accommodating to all of our group! They left a great impression on all of us. Well done!

Every detail, from the attentive staff to the peaceful ambiance, reflects the hotel’s timeless charm and dedication to excellence. Whether for business or leisure, Bellevue Palace is a perfect choice for those seeking quality, comfort, and unforgettable scenery. Highly recommended for a memorable and relaxing stay in the heart of the city.

Wonderful room with Balcony and Amazing view. Great location, absolutely loved it!!|Was upgraded to a Suite which was fabulous. Hotel staff was very nice. If you are going to Bern I highly recommend The Bellevue

The service, atmosphere, veal chop and chocolate mousse were decadent and worth the $$$$ rating. If you visit Bern, spend the money to enjoy a formal and scrumptious dinner- with views to die for!

Delicious meal right in the heart of charming Bern. We got a reservation for two and enjoyed our meal here. The mosaic de 3 fish was good but my favorite was probably my main dish of pigeon. My husband loved his steak. Would recommend.

We are staying in an Air B&B on the mountain and did not want to drive back down, so came in for a late dinner. The service was super friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely fantastic. I had the pork steak with vegetables; with fresh string beans, carrots, broccoli, chayote and fries. Everything was great- the pork was tender and juicy, perfectly cooked, and the veggies were delicious. It was the best meal so far after over 2 weeks in Europe. My friends ordered the pork schnitzel and it was also perfect. We also had the ice cream cake with strawberry sorbet and it was amazing. The prices were very reasonable, and during warmer weather the outdoor dining and view would be quite memorable. We will go back!

So this review is for the Bellevue Palace Hotel's Vue Restaurant - and what an elegant spot for a refined luncheon or dinner! Of course, there's the great view of the Bern River valley coursing its leisurely way through the city, but it's also a classy dining area with crisp white tablecloths, sparkling tableware, and top-notch attentive Swiss service. (And Swiss tidiness - they collect your overcoats and such for the coat-check so as not to disturb the dining room's appearance with unruly jackets draped all over the chairbacks!) They had a "businessman's" lunch menu that looked good, so I chose that and selected a salmon tartare for an appetizer (fatty and unctuous, deliciously seasoned and garnished); the roasted cod for main entree (excellent); and a refreshing limoncello ice with a fruit coulis comprised of blueberries, ligonberries, and raspberries. A nice strong coffee rounded out the meal. Wait service was great - made you feel like royalty!

Great restaurant, amazing service, very exquisite. Meal sizes were tiny for the price you pay, but absolutely delicious.

We are staying at the hotel and had Sunday brunch when we arrived. It was good, but expensive. After a poor dinner at a local restaurant we decided to go to the hotel bar at the restaurant. The bartender Marc Uthe was awesome and very nice to talk with. He was first class all the way and the drinks were excellent. The atmosphere was also very nice outside on the terrace.

The question when staying in Bern, where should I stay at the Bellevue Palace or the Schweizerhoff? Bellevue: great view. Large and beautiful lobby/atrium. The terrace overlooking the river is breath taking. The service throughout the hotel is Swiss at its finest. A classical European hotel that is very rare in the abstract world we live in. Schweizerhoff. Location convenience across from train station and shopping arcade. Spa to die for.

Two days in a row for dinner and it was excellent! Truly a feast for the pallets as they give you many variations even for traditional dishes and also has unique tastes such as "blue brain" cheese and even has great Italian coffee ... Correctto espresso ... try it!

This former private residence is a spectacular place to spend a few days in Bern. Everything is expensive in Switzerland but once you accept that and enjoy this palace you wont be disappointed. Rooms with a view of the river are especially quaint and very peaceful. Wide hallways and beautiful fixtures and art make this place special. Enjoyed having truffles shaved on my pasta and my partner said his chateaubriand was superb. Asparagus and fresh mushrooms were in season so along with a dollop of hollandaise we were in heaven. I would go back here in a heartbeat although we've only been here twice. Fills up quickly if an international conference is in town. Enjoy!

Didn't stay here but had the most spectacular meal EVER!!! Live a little and be pampered by the most attentive staff. I hated to leave!

The rooms are decent but the views are magnificent. The staff is incredibly nice and the service is just phenomenal.
