If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a landscape

It would be the Lauterbrunnen Valley at daybreak, when its 72 waterfalls rumble in the morning silence and the Jungfrau is tinged with pink. This backdrop of vertiginous cliffs inspired Tolkien to imagine Rivendell and its hamlets huddled in mountain recesses. 

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a fragrance

It would be the scent of larch wood combined with pure glacier air, water-smoothed stone and the delicate fragrance of alpine flowers. This distinctive blend immediately transports visitors straight into the heart of the Bernese Oberland, with its pristine landscapes, tranquil car-free villages and majestic mountain peaks.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a season

It would be both winter and summer. The hushed silence of fresh snow in the early morning, then, a few months later, the sunlit meadows blooming with edelweiss. In winter, the pure pleasure of gliding down the Jungfrau slopes, the crisp air on your face. In summer, the leisurely hike along the Eiger Trail or the Royal Walk to the summit of Männlichen, when every step invites you to pause, breathe and behold.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were an emotion

It would be a combination of fulfilment and wonder, a feeling of intimacy with nature and connection with the local culture.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a drink

It would be an infusion of alpine herbs enjoyed at the spa after a rejuvenating treatment. Warming and comforting, it brings the taste of the mountains to life, with meticulous care given to each detail: from carefully selected ingredients to thoughtful presentation.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a dish

It would be the comforting vegan cheese fondue at La Brasserie Belvedere. A pleasure that preserves the essentials: the flavours, the warmth of the dish, the conviviality, and the joy of being together.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a ritual

It would be an afternoon at the spa, a sanctuary of well-being dedicated to the art of relaxation, where minimalist design and mineral-rich waters inspire complete release. It would be the full experience that begins in the sauna or hammam, continues in the heated indoor and outdoor pool that blends seamlessly into the setting and overlooks the hotel's gardens and forests, and ends in the relaxation room with a view of the Jungfrau, herbal tea in hand.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a work of art

It would be the wall tapestries by Manon Daviet, a textile artist who has created a series of exclusive works that play on Swiss popular culture stereotypes, through flora and fauna.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a material

It would be green granite, a natural local stone that pays tribute to regional craftsmanship and the raw beauty of the Alps. In the bathrooms, granite interacts with warm wood furniture and floors, grounding each space and forging a tangible connection with the natural environment. Every surface narrates the region’s geological history, while this interplay between stone and wood reinforces the link between the hotel's interior and the majestic peaks that surround it, creating spaces that are at once refined and deeply serene.

Explore the rooms and suites

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were an object

It would be a pair of binoculars, ready to explore every mountain, every waterfall and every trail in the Bernese Oberland. 

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were music

It would be the hotel's playlist you listen to on the cogwheel train as it climbs towards Wengen. The mountains glide slowly past, the rhythm matches the journey’s tempo, and the melodies accompany the anticipation and exhilaration of arrival. Music that connects the journey travelled to the present moment.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a sensation

It would be the thrill of leaving your mark on an immaculate landscape, whether skiing off-piste with an experienced guide, hurtling down the Lauberhorn on the longest downhill ski run in World Cup history, paragliding to admire the lakes of Brienz and Thun, or kayaking on turquoise waters.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a a means of transport

It would be the cogwheel train on the Wengernalp railway, an inseparable connection between valley and peaks, between past and present, where each stage of the journey matters as much as the final destination. Like the legendary train winding gracefully upward, the hotel embodies the journey itself – a suspended interlude of gradual ascent toward a heightened state of well-being.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were an animal

It would be a mountain goat. The one you hope to spot when you patiently scan the landscape. A vista that reveals itself like a reward, stirring deep emotion and a rare sense of inner joy. Like the mountain goat, Grand Hotel Belvedere combines strength and elegance, paving the way for exploration and wonder, while remaining a true haven of peace.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a sens

It would be the breathtaking panorama visible from every balcony, window, and corner of the hotel – the legendary trio of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau greeting you at first light and accompanying you throughout the day.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were a moment in the day

It would be dusk on the peaks, when the last rays of sun gild the glaciers and long, soft shadows drape the valleys below. A precious moment when time slows and the beauty of the setting unfolds before you.

If Grand Hotel Belvedere were an experience

It would be a day where each moment becomes a memory: an early morning hike to Männlichen, lunch in a log cabin above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, an afternoon of rejuvenation in the spa, an evening concert, and finally, an exquisite dinner.
