Bellevue Palace

Historic riverside elegance.

Located next to the Swiss Parliament in the heart of the capital, the Bellevue Palace offers sweeping views of the Bernese Alps and the River Aare. First opened in 1865, the grand hotel features both original Neoclassical details, like the lobby’s stained-glass atrium, and convenient modern updates.

Insider Tip
