The Brecon Adelboden

I felt so lucky to have discovered The Brecon before it inevitably gets popular and very booked up. It’s an incredible hotel in a beautiful location. Every detail has been thought through, from the bedding to the glassware to the Aesop products in the rooms. It’s complete luxury but also chilled and understated. The team were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make us feel happy and relaxed. Lea, Martina, Marta and Sara were stand-out and made our stay so special. The spa is gorgeous with breathtaking views. The food is remarkable and so well considered with wine pairings each night. The mountain view rooms make it hard to leave and do anything because you just want to chill there and stare out the window for hours. I will definitely be back, would be extra luxurious after a day’s skiing ❤️

The Brecon is an amazing place to stay, not only because the inner design pays an uncompromising homage to a modern interpretation of midcentury design, but mostly because the staff’s commitment to providing excellent hospitality to the guests. Nothing was too small or too great to ask for, they tried to make everything possible and they were always friendly, attentive and professional. They are an exceptional team on all levels. The Rooms: Our loft room, The Village, was amazingly beautiful! The only improvement that could be made is that there is practically no closet or drawer space to store clothes if you want to unpack for a longer stay. We were also able to sneak a peak at the very Cosy Mountain room which was also lovely, albeit very cosy indeed, but with huge windows directly across from the bed overlooking the mountains. The Spa: The spa is "klein und fein“, small but very nice. While it can accommodate only a few people at a time comfortably, a suggestion to ensure a calm environment might be to let guests reserve one hour a day, letting max 4 or 6 people use the facilities at one time. The All Inclusive Fare: Breakfast is wonderful, there’s a small egg menu to order from the open kitchen, plus a selection of muesli, yogurt, jams, bread and pastries. The included wine and beverage selection is very high quality. The wines are hand picked to feature smaller Swiss and European wineries. Martina made a new selection every night of red and white wines, and if nothing was to the taste of the guests, she would find you something else. There‘s a non-alcoholic and standard cocktail list with huge selection of top shelf spirits, as well as free flowing champagne offered all day. There’s a lovely teatime served around 15.00 with sandwiches, tea, and absolutely heavenly cakes and pastries made in house by the pastry chef. I found everything impeccable at The Brecon besides the dinner menu, which was not to my taste, consistently heavy and carb dense with very little protein. The ingredients were all high quality, mostly vegetarian, but I wouldn’t categorize the choices for the dinner menu as "healthy“. I would actually prefer something more casual than a sit down 4 course and would welcome a lighter and healthier family style dinner, sharing plates or a mezze/tapas concept that is more protein and fiber forward than carbs and fat. The chefs, however, do everything they can to accommodate guest’s dietary preferences. I am sure they would have prepared anything we wanted, but on holiday it was too much effort for me to challenge the dinner menu every night with special requests. Adelboden We were really impressed with this authentic Swiss town! The ski resort(s) aren’t super easy to navigate or get around, they take a bit more effort than other places we’ve been, but we pretty much only heard Swiss German on the slopes. Our ski teacher was also one of the best we’ve ever had at any ski resort. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to a short gondola that takes you to the main gondola. When the staff wasn’t too busy, they offered to shuttle us to the main lift which was 6 star service. A personal thanks to Lea, Martina, Frederic, Adrian, Mattia, Daniel, Sarah, Cristina and Marta plus all of the other team members who we didn’t get to know who work so hard to bring The Brecon to its highest potential. We would be honored to stay with you again! (A side note about the staff uniforms: The young & beautiful staff looks like they are wearing sloppy pajamas that shrunk 2 sizes in length in the first wash. I know cool style when I see it and those uniforms are not it. For a "design hotel“, these uniforms just look totally out of place in an otherwise perfectly procured aestheticly pleasing environment.)

My husband and I have just had the most wonderful stay here. The hotel is gorgeous! It's only just been renovated and every detail has been thought through with style AND comfort in-mind - from the linen sheets, the soft rugs, the boucle armchairs - the whole place is not just beautiful, but a comfortable and cosy space to relax and unwind. It's all inclusive and I was worried that would mean that I couldn't get a tea or coffee during the day as it was outside of meal times, but that wasn't the case at all. The whole team is incredibly friendly and generous. Whenever we arrived we were always offered drinks, snacks, etc. Every night we were served the most delicious three course dinner. You can even watch the chef and his team cook in the kitchen from the dining room while you enjoy a drink (they have a fully stocked bar, champagne, an extensive wine list...) and the chef comes to talk you through the menu (which he's obviously put great care into preparing). It's been a total joy to spend time here. The spa treatments were great and the sauna has a glass wall - so you can look at the beautiful mountains while you sweat. And last, but certainly not least, the skiing. You're less than a 5 minute walk from a gondola that takes you to the main skiing area. I hadn't heard of Adelboden before, but it was wonderful. A great mix of runs - long cruisy blues with wide pistes, long winding trails through the trees and a big selection of reds for more advanced skiers. We skied for three full days and never ran of pistes. Overall - 5 glowing fully satisfied stars to you The Brecon. You are a gem!

The all-inclusive offer was fantastic and all wishes were perfectly fulfilled. The hotel is located in a quiet area and has a wonderfully comfortable bed. The food is incredibly delicious (loved the breakfast selection) and I had a wonderful time. I can highly recommend this newly opened hotel. The interior design has been worked out down to the last detail and invites you to discover it. I enjoyed it from the very first second and would love to come back. Thank you The Brecon for this experience.

this place is my absolutely favorite hotel ever. The service is so impeccable , so thoughtful and generous. the food is amazing and spa is so cool. the design is beautiful and also tons of great magazines and reading material there.

We had an amazing stay at the Brecon! It was a perfect getaway, with a lot of day adventures around Adelboden, although you'll have everything you need and more at the hotel you won't want to leave. The staff were all extremely nice and welcoming, and very attentive and responsive to any requests! The food is absolutely a highlight, with an à la cart breakfast, a large afternoon food spread, and a completely different multi course dinner each night.

There's style and luxury and then there's The Brecon. My first trip to Switzerland and indeed Adelboden and I am already working out when I can return. Walking into the stunningly designed reception and being welcomed by the friendly staff I immediately knew that I was in for a special stay. Staying in one of The Brecon's 'Mountain Cosy' rooms I woke up to the most stunning panoramic mountain view. Add to this a gourmet coffee on my private balcony and it was a a magical start to the morning. A walk in shower with Aesop amenities, a huge comfy bed and stylishly designed minibar all added to the luxurious feel. One of the attractions of The Brecon is their 'all inclusive' approach to the stay. Coming down to breakfast there's a selection of fresh croissants and bread (freshly baked by the local bakery) along with a full a la carte menu of such delights as eggs benedict, shakshuka, bircher muesli, fresh fruit, pancakes and of course build your own omelettes. However the fantastic chefs are willing to accommodate pretty much any breakfast requests you may have. Adelboden truly spoilt me for choice when it came to filling my day. A massive choice of spectacular hikes, running routes and bike rides are available to keep you active. The Brecon's knowledgable staff gave some superb recommendations for routes which were suitable for all abilities. As a little add on, I think that it would make an amazing spot for anyone who is training for running, cycling or indeed triathlon. I have got Berlin marathon coming up next month and managed some fantastic running with scenery and views to match! A truly hidden gem was the 50 meter swimming pool less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Surrounded by mountains on one side and pine trees on the other this was a swimming pool not to be missed. The spa service was also excellent. An outdoor hot tub, tranquil relaxation room, sauna and steam room all provided the perfect way to slow things down. I indulged in a massage on my final day which was excellent. Afternoon tea is a selection of quaint finger sandwiches (I can highly recommend the locally sourced smoked salmon!) and home made cakes. Dinner every night was superb. Over the 4 nights it just got better and better. A lovely touch was a chef coming over and explaining all of the different dishes. It really felt like a lot of love was put into all of the cooking and having an open kitchen it was great to be able to see all of the prep going into the meals. Every aspect of the interior design was superb. Comfy sofas to sit and have a drink, speakers hidden amongst the bookshelves, stunning lighting throughout the hotel, chunky coffee table books to leaf through, huge rugs and artwork that added to an environment that just oozed cool. Every aspect of the design of the hotel was intricately and thoughtfully designed and with this in mind I can't not mention the gorgeous handmade ceramics that each meal is served on. The attention to detail throughout the hotel is amazing. Martina, Leah, Marta and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic, all of them going above and beyond to make my stay a truly memorable one. . I'll be planning a return trip as I would love to see what it's like in winter but for now it's all about the lifetime memories made in a very special place which feels like a home from home.

We spent 5 days at The Brecon and absolutely loved our stay. The room was incredible, the spa and pool were luxurious and the food was amazing. The staff was friendly and took care of every detail. We liked our first couple of days so much we extended our stay! Highly recommend.
