Bellevue Palace

Perfect week-end in Bern, in such an historical place. Book a room with view on the montains / the Aar or you will regret it!

We stayed here for two nights in a Tower Suite that we booked using the AMEX Fine Hotels and Resorts booking. I booked this because it had two full bathrooms plus a separate doored off room that my teen daughter could have as her own, albeit with a piece of exercise equipment in it. The hotel is gorgeous. While not on the 'main drag' for the historic district, Bern is small enough that any place you really want to get to is a short walk away. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, yet very close to convenience stores and dining. Our room was absolutely amazing. The two full bathrooms, main bedroom, large sitting room, extra room for my daughter, and the half bathroom made the room feel huge...which it was. There was a balcony overlooking the river with and the other windows opened up for ventilation. My only complaint about the room is that the thermostat was controlled at the hotel level. We were there at an in-between time when the temperatures at day and night varied just enough that you'd want to have the AC at times and the heat at other times. Our first evening, it was too warm because the day time temps were warm but the hotel hadn't turned on the AC yet. I had someone come up around midnight, and the solution was to lower all of the metal blinds on the windows and leave one window open a bit. That worked fine. I'd really like to be able to control the temperature on my own, but I get it. This wasn't a problem for us on our second night, as the temperature dropped and it snowed over night! We had breakfast on both mornings in the restaurant. The service was great, the buffet was good, and being able to order egg dishes off the menu was much appreciated. We needed umbrellas during our stay and were provided three without a problem. We sat in the lobby bar a few times and had some wine and snacks; great service and beautiful setting beneath the stained glass ceiling. We absolutely loved this hotel, the staff, and the food/drink options available. We would absolutely make this our hotel if we were to return to Bern.

Excellent and traditional hotel, friendly, customer-oriented service. Lovely rooms and excellent restaurants. Location is just perfect!

Thank you to the team at the Hotel Bellevue Palace for a truly wonderful stay. From the moment of arrival, the atmosphere felt elegant and distinctly Swiss. What impressed me most was the team — genuinely friendly, professional, and attentive in a very natural way. We also had an excellent dinner at Noumi Bar & Grill, which was a real highlight of the evening. A classic grand hotel experience in the heart of Bern. I would happily return.

Second time in this marvelous hotel. Thank you very much for the amazing room with river view ♥️♥️♥️ Everyone was so nice, front office, lobby staff and breakfast service. I will come again 🤗
