Hotel Schweizerhof Bern
Bern, Switzerland
For over 150 years, the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern has been the leading hotel in Switzerland?s capital city, attracting a demanding clientele of business and event visitors, and guests from Bern itself. Located at Bern?s most central location near the train station, the five-star superior hotel blends classical grand tradition with contemporary flair, elegant design and world-class service. Today the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern comprises 99 stylish rooms and suites, the 800 m² Bel Etage including the Salon Trianon, a legendary ballroom appropriate for events of all kinds, Jack's Brasserie with its 14 Gault-Millau points, the modern Lobby Lounge Bar, a sophisticated Cigar Lounge, THE SPA with its 500 m² of luxurious wellness facilities, and the unique Sky Terrace.
The overall ambience of the five-star superior hotel is an interplay between modern design and classical elements from the hotel?s 150-year history. The 99 rooms and suites welcome guests with a mix of French charm and English understatement. Lighting from classic restored chandeliers imparts a harmonious atmosphere whilst the luxurious bathrooms, with their rain showers and Japanese bathtubs, are small wellness worlds in themselves. In the remaining areas of the room, the dominant taupe colour and elegant herringbone oak floors combine to create a warm and inviting ambience. For the interior design, the well-known designer Maria Vafiadis and her London-based agency "MKV Design" were commissioned. Their challenge was to create a contemporary luxury hotel worthy of its past grandeur.
