Bellevue Palace Bern

I stayed one night at the Bellevue Palace and was absolutely delighted with the experience. My room was magnificent—spacious, elegant, and impeccably maintained, with all the charm you’d expect from such a historic property. I had dinner at the Brasserie, and both the food and the service were excellent. Each dish was beautifully prepared, and the staff were attentive, warm, and professional, making the meal even more enjoyable. Another highlight of my stay was the Christmas decorations throughout the hotel. They were stunning—tasteful, festive, and created a wonderfully cozy atmosphere that made the whole experience feel even more special. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend the Bellevue Palace to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and exceptional hospitality in Bern.

My stay at Bellevue Palace Bern was absolutely exceptional and truly memorable. The hotel embodies timeless elegance, refined comfort and a level of service that immediately sets it apart. The rooms are superb, spacious and beautifully maintained, offering an atmosphere of quiet luxury. The heated floors are a wonderful and thoughtful detail, especially during cold days, creating a warm and incredibly welcoming feeling when returning to the room.||The entire team deserves the highest praise. Every member of staff is extremely professional, attentive and highly competent, delivering service with natural elegance and genuine care. Everything runs seamlessly, making guests feel truly valued and relaxed throughout their stay.

It is extremely varied, complete and generous, offering a wide range of high quality options, all fresh and delicious.

My recent stay at the Bellevue Palace was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the experience embodied true five-star hospitality, and I can say with absolute confidence that I will choose this hotel every time I return to Bern. The staff were warm and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that felt genuinely personal. The hotel itself is in immaculate condition, every space well maintained and true to character. One of the highlights of my stay was learning about the history of the hotel and its proud connection to the neighboring government buildings. The team took the time to share these stories with me, which I am so very grateful for. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bührer, the General Manager, and I would also like to extend my gratitude to Thomas, Joana, Shana, and the restaurant manager at Noumi, all of whom took exceptional care of us. Their assistance was sincerely appreciated. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and the bed extremely comfortable. Every detail of our stay was handled with such care, making the entire experience wonderful. I look forward to returning soon.

Our stay was nothing short of magical! The hotel decoration for Christmas is truly stunning and unique, so you feel the Christmas is just around the corner. Our room was so spacious and had beautiful views with Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau! The service is exceptional and we felt taken care of! And location of the hotel is just in the center of Bern, and it is easy to explore Christmas markets and iconic sights from there. Thank you for everything!

My stay at the Bellevue Palace Bern was exceptional. The newly appointed rooms feel both refined and authentic, keeping the charm of a grand palace while offering every modern comfort. Waking up to the views over the Aare and the Alps is simply breathtaking. The location could not be better; right in the heart of Bern, steps from everything yet perfectly quiet. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, making me feel welcome from the first moment. A timeless hotel that continues to impress.

I really appreciated hotel’s gesture for making my mom’s birthday special. Room was very specious, and also enjoyed their gym and sauna facilities. Breakfast buffet was underwhelming but still good. I would come back to this hotel when returning to Bern.

We had such a great stay at this hotel in Bren! The staff were super nice and welcoming, they really made us feel at home. Our room was big, clean, and the bed was amazingly comfortable.|I loved the little touches, like the evening room service and the small chocolate left on the bed every night, such a sweet detail!||The location is perfect, just a short walk from the train station and the city center. It was so easy to get around, do some shopping, and then come back to the room to relax whenever we wanted.||Overall, I was really happy with our stay and would definitely come back!

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.
