Grand Hotel Belvedere

Perched high above the peaceful, car-free village of Wengen, the Grand Hotel Belvedere feels like stepping into a slower, more elegant era – but with just the right amount of modern edge. A Belle Époque icon reimagined by Beaumier, this five-star retreat blends historic grandeur with a fresh, understated style that fits perfectly with its surroundings.

Rooms and suites are all soft larch wood, stone, and generous windows framing the kind of views that demand a pause – the Eiger, the Mönch, and the Jungfrau all rising dramatically in the distance. You’ll fall asleep to mountain stillness, and wake to light bouncing off snowy peaks. Dining is led by Chef Will Gordon, who brings a light, contemporary hand to classic Alpine flavours. There’s elegance without pretension – from the lively Brasserie Belvedere to quiet fireside corners made for long, wine-soaked dinners.

The spa is a real highlight: a sleek, stone-clad sanctuary where you can soak in the outdoor pool as snowflakes drift overhead. Treatments use Susanne Kaufmann’s natural, alpine plant-based products – and yes, it’s just as dreamy as it sounds. And there’s more to this mountain escape than just good looks – the hotel has been thoughtfully restored with sustainability in mind, including a wood-pellet heating system and subtle energy-saving design touches throughout.

This is where Alpine luxury feels truly grown-up – elegant, yes, but never over the top. Come for the views, the stillness, and the feeling that you’re part of something enduring. Stay because it all just flows so beautifully – from the scent of pine in the air to the way the light hits the mountains each morning.

Location

Grand Hotel Belvedere, Switzerland

Getting to Grand Hotel Belvedere is part of the charm – and trust us, it’s worth the journey. The hotel sits in Wengen, a peaceful, car-free village in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. Your trip finishes with a beautiful cogwheel train ride up from Lauterbrunnen, winding past waterfalls and forested cliffs – a real ‘Swiss postcard’ moment. The closest airport is Bern (1.5 hours), though most travellers fly into Zurich (around 2.5 hours) or Geneva (about 3.5 hours). Trains in Switzerland run like clockwork, so whether you're coming straight from a flight or linking it with other alpine stops, the connection is smooth and scenic. Pair it with a stay on Lake Lucerne or Lake Geneva for that perfect mountain-and-water combo – we’ll help you map it all out.

Your

accommodation

Rooms at Grand Hotel Belvedere feel like a deep exhale. They’ve been beautifully reimagined with soft alpine textures, warm larch wood, and stone tones that reflect the landscape just outside your window. Whether you’re waking up to sweeping views of the Lauterbrunnen Valley or looking straight out to the snow-capped Jungfrau, the sense of stillness and space is instant.

Every detail has been carefully considered – not flashy, but quietly luxurious. Comfy beds, calming colours, oversized windows, and bathrooms that feel as serene as the spa. Some rooms come with balconies for those golden-hour mountain moments, while suites give you that bit more space to stretch out and settle in.

And if you’re looking to truly elevate your stay, the Beaumier Suite is the one to book – spacious, elegant and designed to soak in the very best of the hotel’s views and atmosphere. It’s where thoughtful design meets that unmistakable sense of being completely tucked away from the world.

There’s no overdesign here – just beautifully pared-back rooms that let the view and setting do the talking.
