Even when we initially stopped by to drop off our bags, the attention to detail and level of care shown by the staff who assisted us immediately stood out. Every interaction felt thoughtful, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The check-in process was seamless, and the front desk lady was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Our room was absolutely spectacular!!! It was beautifully designed, elegant, and filled with high-end amenities. One evening, I wasn't feeling well :( and ended up staying in, and I truly appreciated how comfortable and luxurious the room was. Having such a stunning space, complete with a balcony overlooking the city, made all the difference and turned what could have been an unpleasant night into a restful and peaceful one. Also, one of the days, after a long stretch of exploring Bern, we decided to stay in and eat at the hotel lobby bar. We ordered their famous Wienerschnitzel, and it was outstanding (a must if you stay here). What made the experience even more special was our server, who took the time to share the history of the dish with us. You could tell how much pride the staff takes in both the food and the overall dining experience. The bartender was also wonderful and made an excellent Old Fashioned (Adam approved) everything felt intentional, polished, and done with care. We also ordered breakfast via room service one morning, and it arrived perfectly!! It was on time, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Overall, Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa is one of the most incredible hotels I have ever stayed in. It is easy to see why it is a five-star property (really) from the service to the accommodations to the dining, every detail is impeccable. This hotel has truly set the bar for us. We weren't aware they had other locations before this stay, but after experiencing the Bern property, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when visiting Switzerland again!!!

The friendly staff helped in so many ways--they gave us a great tourist map, stowed away our luggage after check out so that we could see the city unhindered. Gave us advice on tourist spots to go to. Best of all--the hotel is literally 1.5 blocks from the train station. You literally walk down a pedestrian only street and take an escalator down one floor to the indoor train station (Bern's mall-like gathering spot with restaurants and stores). What could be more convenient than that? Truly an awesome place to stay!

Although the room was small but it was clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel's central location is perfect for sightseeing, putting Bern's main attractions within easy walking distance. The combination of helpful service, quality accommodations, and prime location made this a great choice for exploring the city. We were able to enjoy the complimentary continental buffet breakfast and we also tried the wonderful dinner to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again. One of the highlight of this hotel is the 120+ year old elevator and other vintage items that you can see around the hotel and the view of the city from our balcony. We made use of the city bus pass they gave us to have a great time.

Two things about the hotel that we wish were better were that there was no A/C, and that there was a layer of dust on the surfaces. (Maybe no one was in our room for awhile?) It was actually cool at night but you couldn't open the windows because there was so much noise from the street trams. So that was a little tough. But we did like the place for all of it's character and the location.

After walking around for a couple of hours in Bern with our eye on what looked good to eat, we decided on the Belle Epoque restaurant for its diverse menu, beautiful decor, and competitive prices. Inside is indeed very fin-de-siecle French, with beautiful black metal flora-inspired light fixtures and antique furniture and art. The staff was welcoming and used to dealing with tourists--their English was great (as was mostly the case all over Switzerland). We started out with a couple of glasses of red wine while we perused the menu. We thought it'd be mostly French and Italian stuff but they had Thai and Indian dishes on there, too, which was intriguing. It's not a huge menu, but quite diverse. Anyway, I opted for escargots and the mushroom ravioli and my friend decided on the smoked trout fillets and spinach quiche. Well wouldn't you know it, they were out of the mushroom ravioli, so I decided to go for the quiche lorraine. Our appetizers were excellent, and I very much enjoyed my lovely snails drenched in butter, garlic and parsley, accompanied by a basket of white bread toast slices with butter. My friend liked her smoked trout fillets very much also. So far, so good. When our quiches came out I was surprised to see two little round quiches instead of one larger piece, but it wasn't a big deal. When we dug in we found them to be utterly delicious. And then...as we near the centers of the quiches we discover that they are quite cool and then eventually downright cold! I think they must've been frozen and then reheated because the centers were cooked, just cold. I don't have a problem with previous frozen foods and all, but it'd be nice if they check to see if the darn things are hot all the way through at least. So I inform the waitress and she is very apologetic, and the offending quiches are whisked back to the kitchen to get warmed up. When they came back out they were fine and I finished them. The waitress then asked if she could offer us a dessert or coffee but I declined, as I was quite full. I was hoping she'd take something off our bill, but alas, she didn't. I supposed I could've asked, but it didn't seem worth the effort. She was sort of the manager-lady, I think, and our regular waitress totally didn't apologize or even acknowledge what had happened. This sort of apathy kind of bummed me out and dimmed my view of the place as a result. Overall it was a pleasant-enough place and I don't regret coming here, but would I be eager to come back again? Not sure...
