Romantik Hotel Schweizerhof
Grindelwald|0.76km from Firstbahn AG
From the moment we arrived by train…and walked the 400 feet from the train to this hotel, we knew we were in the right place at the right time. This hotel feels traditionally Swiss, with a spa, pool, and food offering that is decidedly modern. Perfectly located for awesome day trips to the surrounding areas. Our room was clean and spacious. The huge bath tube saved the day after many of the hikes we took from this location, central to the JungFrau region. Reservation and check-in was super easy. The front desk team couldn’t have been more professional, welcoming, and ready to help make our trip the best it could be. Special mention goes out to Andras….Front desk guy, and our favorite concierge of all time. Every morning, I would go to Andras and say, “Andras, today we’d like to go to (fill in the blank with a typical tourist trap)” He would say, “No you don’t. You’ll have a much better time (insert amazing, fun-filled, off-the-beaten-path adventure.)” It happened every day and we had a blast. He was able to read our energy, and give us perfect suggestions! Thank you Andras and Miriam (who also made us feel right at home) Breakfast was to die for. Although there were quite a few very large tourist groups, the hotel gave us independent hotel guests a more private and quiet space. We ate our evening meals that the hotel as well. It was never boring or repetitious. One night Raclette in the cozy bar area. Another night in the main dining area. Our favorite night was in Restaurant Schmitt, enjoying a chef’s course menu. Executive Chef Markus Handau, prepared an innovative and creative symphony of courses. Each one more exciting than the last. Our favorite servers, Gabriel and Julio made every meal enjoyable! They were friendly and authentic and told us stories of their own day-to-day lives in Switzerland, even though home was Brazil and Portugal. The Spa team were amazing as well. They kept the facilities neat and clean. And I had a terrific massage the day we arrived. It was also so nice to go to the Wednesday Night Summer Streetfair while staying here as well. We will definitely return to this Swiss classic!
