Bellevue Palace

We stayed here for our honeymoon and requested a room with a nice view. To our delight, we were given a spacious suite overlooking the Aare River with an absolutely stunning panorama. The room was large, spotlessly clean—including the bathroom—and very comfortable. Having a shower toilet was also a convenient feature. The staff were not especially warm, but they worked efficiently and left us with a reasonably good impression. Unfortunately, our experience was ruined at breakfast due to extremely unpleasant treatment. The breakfast area consists of two sections: an outer terrace-facing space with sunlight, river views, and all the buffet food, and an inner room separated by walls and doors. Naturally, the outer area is the more desirable seating. Despite there being plenty of empty tables outside when we arrived, we were directed to sit inside. At first we thought nothing of it, but soon realized that all the Asian guests had been seated in the inner room, while every table in the outer area was occupied by white guests. To make matters worse, we witnessed an elderly white couple who arrived after us being shown directly to a table outside. The segregation by race was unmistakable. This discriminatory treatment ultimately left us with the worst possible impression of the hotel. Despite the wonderful aspects such as the beautiful room with its breathtaking view, it is very disappointing that we cannot imagine returning to this property again. I sincerely hope that other properties belonging to The Leading Hotels of the World do not share the same culture.

Pristine hotel throughout with simply excellent staff. Especially kudos to HR and in house maintenance and cleaning

Over the top service at Hotel Bellevue! I can't say enough about the staff here! We recently stayed at several other high end hotels in Switzerland on our trip.The staff at Hotel Bellevue were by far the most welcoming and accommodating to all of our group! They left a great impression on all of us. Well done!

The room was ready upon arrival around 12:30 PM from a long transatlantic flight. The decor and condition of the room was impeccable. The staff was 5-stars and the view from our upgraded room was outstanding. The location is ideal to see old Bern by walk in a few hours.

I stayed here during a leisure/business trip, researching partner properties in Switzerland. Bellevue Palace has an exceptional location. The lobby and common areas are beautiful - with a traditional elegance. My room was lovely - it was fresh with great bathroom(s) and balcony with a stunning view. This would be my top choice for clients.
