What a fantastic place to stay. We booked a few evenings in Murren, part of a larger trip through Europe after picking up a new BMW in Munich.
We drove into the Lauterbrunnen valley pretty late, after dark, making the last cable car up to Murren. When we got to the hotel to check in, it was pretty late and the kitchen was closed. The owners of the hotel, who work and live there, opened the kitchen and let us order dinner. The food was excellent. And, we sat and chatted - had some great beer. What an awesome way to arrive.
Next AM, we saw how absolutely amazing the view was from our room. I've hiked all over the Sierra Nevada mountains, camped at 11000' and higher, and the view from the balcony was better than any of those experiences. Sure, the room we had was somewhat small, but with our two young girls they loved the bunk beds! It was fantastic.
The owners were so warm we had dinner again at the hotel instead of going to another place. Great hotel, excellent staff, fantastic restaurant. Highly recommended. read more
