Hotel Spinne

Lovely hotel. Efficient staff. Nice decor. Rooms compact but comfortable. Views awesome. Lobby comfortable with a wood fire. Spa lovely. Don’t worry about the “textile free / naked” sauna area you can wear a towel if you want. Heat up first then cold plunge under the ice tunnel! Invigorating.

Highly recommend this hotel! Rooms, views, service, spa, breakfast, and location were all amazing. Our room was in the guest house and the views from the balcony (in picture) were stunning. We paid to include breakfast and it was so worth it - locally baked fresh bread, locally sourced cheeses, meats, juices, fruits, and a chef who makes omelettes for you. The hotel bar - Espresso Bar - was packed and fun every night. The hotel is within walking distance of ski/snowboard equipment rental shops, the train, and the lift to Grindelwald-First ski slopes (where you can also buy your lift pass), among others. Another fun bar, Avocado Bar, is two doors down. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the spa! The spa, which is included in the room price, had a traditional Finnish-style hot cedar sauna, a steam sauna, an Alpen-style warm sauna with heated seats, a meditation room, an ice drench walkthru shower station, and a BEAUTIFUL warm (not hot) infinity pool outside overlooking the mountains. You could also schedule and pay for massage services. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, especially for winter/ski trips.

We stayed for a week with adult family between Christmas and New year in 2025/26. We had a lovely time, there was no snow in the town but the mountains had plenty of snow on enough runs to fill a 3 day ski pass for an experienced skier. The Town is essentially just one road with the train station at one end and Grindelwald First lift at the other end. The Spinne is slap bang in the middle of town and therefore very close and a very short walk to everything you could imagine and want. The train and bus service is very easy to use as is the mountain train up onto the Jungfrau mountain range. We booked bed and Breakfast and you should budget for approx 70CHF per person for an evening meal out or in the restaurant. We tried all of the 4* and above rated restaurants in the town of which the hotel's is one of them and they were all very good. All offering different types of cuisine, I can recommend them all. It was also great to see so many dogs in the town and on the mountains being taken around by their owners on leads which was great for dog lovers like us. I would conclude by saying that there is plenty to do in the town along with the skiing for a week and the Spinne is the perfect base. The hotel staff were amazing and couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating.

The room (Double Room With Eiger View) was spacious, well equipped, warm, and comfortable with a stunning view of the Eiger mountain. The outdoor heated (hot, not only warm!) pool was a highlight, and the saunas and steam rooms were pleasant and very clean. Breakfast and dinner were varied, tasty, and of excellent quality - particular dinner. The extra hour for late check-out was appreciated, as we could use the pool and spa area on departure morning/afternoon. We also appreciated the restaurant manager assigning us the same window table for dinner on two consecutive nights - thank you!||The bathroom was a little of the small side, although well-equipped, clean, with good toiletries provided. The time from ordering to receiving dinner was lengthy (approx. 45mins), however the service was attentive and most of the waiters/waitresses were friendly and accommodating.

We stayed at Hotel Spinne and it completely blew us away. The views alone are worth the trip...stepping onto our balcony and seeing the Eiger right in front of us felt unreal, like a postcard come to life. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and comfortable, but what really set this place apart were the amenities and the people. The spa is next-level: sauna, steam room, relaxation spaces, and the infinity pool which is heated, outdoors, staring straight at the mountains. Floating in the pool while staring at the Eiger is something we’ll never forget. Every single staff member we interacted with was warm, helpful, and genuinely seemed to love working there. That kind of positive energy makes a huge difference and adds to the whole experience. The included breakfast was also phenomenal! We tried a couple restaurants in the area for dinner but nothing compared to the hotel's restaurant...my mouth is watering with the memory. Our waiter, Philipp, was awesome! If you’re considering staying in Grindelwald, stop considering the other 3 hotel choices in the area and book your stay at Hotel Spinne. Between the views, the spa, breakfast, restaurant and the hospitality, Hotel Spinne is pure magic. We will definitely be staying here each time we visit!

Garden rooms are really basement, outdated, musty and very, very small. Tiny bathroom at entrance and no ventilation. It’s a total maze, down hallways, up elevator, down stairs. Spa areas filled with kids. Website is deceiving. 3 ⭐️ at best.

We loved our 6 night stay at the Hotel Spinne, the first week orf September. Great, friendly staff, nice breakfast and awesome outdoor dining. Our room had a nice balcony with a great view of the Eiger that we used every day to enjoy local wine and cheese, after each very full day of adventure. The location is great. 5 minutes from the train, a bus stop right outside the door a Migros market across the street and Grindelwald First a short walk. The warm outdoor infinity pool overlooking the mountains was fantastic. We highly recommend the Hotel Spinne and are looking forward to returning in the winter to enjoy some skiing.

The views of the Eiger can't be beat from the hotel rooms. It could use a renovation as the rooms, furniture, and bathrooms look dated. But, the service was exceptional. People working there are very friendly. Great breakfast with an omelette station. Very short walk to the Grindelwald train station and Grindelwald First.

Wow what a gem! We were in Grindelwald after a long day of hiking and in the mood for some pizza. We noticed the terrace of this hotel restaurant overlooking the mountains and walked up and scored tables outside. We ordered a salad and a meat based pizza. The salad was fresh and refreshing. The pizza was excellent on the level of pizzas we had on our 10 day travel through Italy. Service was very friendly. Will try to stay at this hotel in the future.

Amazing unassuming place in the hotel- we've been to Grindelwald 6 times now from the US and had never tried this hotels restaurant before this week!! What a great place- great service and terrific food. We had the pasta bolognese and a spicy salami and olive pizza with a house salad and house dressing. Also a great Portuguese wine by the glass. The prices are very reasonable for the area with extremely generous portions. We loved the cozy vibe of the seating near the street and the chef making the pizzas and sauces right there- we will definitely be back on our next trip!

Loved the Mercado and Bistro at Hotel Spinne for Italian! We were very lucky because they had an opening around 7pm on a Saturday... but I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because all of the tables were full by the time we left. Very nice atmosphere and all the tables are far apart which is nice because it keeps the room quiet and open. My friends all got different pizzas and loved them... I ordered the spaghetti bolognese and was a big fan! Portion was huge, so come hungry. Afterwards we ordered some ice cream which was also phenomenal. The prices were super reasonable especially for how big the portions were and how good the food was. Our waiter was very nice and was able to answer all of our questions about town and so. A great spot for dinner in Grindelwald.

We were passing through and wanted lunch. The woman at the entrance counter said to sit at the table, and we could have drinks until lunch (about 45 minutes). The waiter, however, immediately stopped us, directed us to the lounge area. That is of course fine. We ordered still water, and he brought us sparkling. I ordered a cafe with grappa, but he brought me a cafe with amaretto. It was still delicious. Honestly we wanted to try the food, but we just left. The waiter was more or less indifferent, a little curt. It actually seems normal for the Swiss. We had to find him to get our check. Sad we didn't have the dining experience we wanted. We went instead to Lauterbrunnen which, to me, is more beautiful. There were little to no businesses or shops open (late March), but the views are incredible.

Hotel Spinne is the hotel you want to stay at in Grindelwald. ROOM It feels like you're staying at the most welcoming but at the same time luxurious cabin in the middle of Switzerland. Our room on the first floor had just the most jaw-dropping front and center view of the Eiger mountains. You just can't beat the feeling of being able to walk out to the balcony and your backyard is the snow-covered Swiss mountain ridge. Being able to go out and sit on the wooden chairs and using the table made of a tree ring is the kind of rustic and quaint comfort you want while being able to soak in all of the natural beauty you're afforded. Inside you'll have a comfortable and plush bed in a very spacious room with all wooden furniture. The decor should be in an interior design magazine because it is log cabin chic. The restroom is modern and This is the kind of stay that embodies a full experience in Switzerland. SPA As far as amenities goes, Hotel Spinne is first class. You won't believe how nice their spa area is and access to the spa is included. It is a modern and vibrantly lit spa on par with many spa/lounges in Los Angeles. What is truly impressive is just how many features the spa includes. There's a eucalyptus steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and another sauna that burns cardamom and a combination of herbs. The coolest (pun intended) part is the ice bath pathway. You get to walk through a block of ice! Then a shower of icy water finishes off the experience. It is invigorating and great when you've spent the entire day hiking and need to cure those aches. When you need to hydrate there is fully stocked herbal/floral teas and water pitchers ready. It was the ultimate relaxation experience and a haven for tranquility. SERVICE The concierge is tremendous and want nothing but the best for your stay. They give you everything you need upon check-in so that everything is comfortable. They provided us with a number of adapters for our electronic devices, were thorough with housekeeping, and were honest! We left euros on our nightstand and it was right where we left it. Fantastic service all around. BREAKFAST The breakfast is easily one of the best breakfast offerings I've had. It is set in a beautiful and regal dining area. You could easily spend hours leisurely enjoying all the top-notch food. You'll find fresh bread constantly refilled which includes some croissants topped with sesame seed that are to die for. Their loaves of bread are equally delicious. The fruits are diverse and cut in the perfect serving sizes which not many hotels will take the time and effort to do. I really enjoyed their cheeses of which they have almost every single kind you can imagine all on a platter accompanied with cheese knives. There was a brie type cheese that was the most buttery and smooth cheese I've tasted. Those are some happy Swiss cows producing these cheeses for sure. Finally there are numerous beverages such as their fresh fruit juices including an apricot juice that was amazing. Can't say enough about their breakfast because it was so good. LOCATION Right by the wonderful C und M cafe that you'll likely be visiting more than once because of the great homemade meals. It is a mere 5 minute walk the other way to the train station and on the way you'll pass a Coop and a Laderach chocolate shop. CONCLUSION Hotel Spinne somehow manages to seamlessly blend the homeliness of a cabin with the modern comfort of a 5-star hotel. The surrounding natural beauty could not be closer and just makes this a must-stay hotel if you want an unforgettable and uniquely Swiss experience.

awesome location, awesome views, awesome buffet. The room is cozy, clean, and traditional style. We lucked out and had a little balcony facing the alps and city view. It was majestic. The buffet was plentiful and offered lots of room to sit and look at the amazing scenery. One final plus is they have parking across the street in another parking lot. I think it was only a few euros more, 5? 10? much less than what hotels charge in the city at least.

Such a beautiful hotel! And amazing views of the Eiger mountain! My wife and I just spent our honeymoon there a couple days ago and are wishing we had spent more time there. We had a pleasant stay and everyone there was so hospitable and nice. I got sick during our honeymoon so I spent a full day inside the room which was not too bad given the beautiful scenery. Also, I think I booked a standard room but we were placed in a room with a magnificent view of the Eiger mountain - I'm not sure if we were upgraded for free but we really appreciated it! In addition, they were able to help us purchase Jungfrauroch tickets at the hotel which was very convenient. Also the breakfast here was super delicious. Bacon, eggs, cheeses, pastries, you name it! We quickly learned that Switzerland is super expensive when it comes to food and having breakfast here pretty much saved us from eating lunch too since it was so good and we ate so much of it. Overall, 10/10 place. Would come back in a heartbeat.
