Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa

Interlaken’s foremost hotel has a wide range of international guests. Situated on the main tourist street with rooms looking out at the impressive snow-clad Jungfrau mountain. The real delight is the ‘glacier milk’, the beautiful aquamarine channel of water uniting the two lakes. Like the town itself the hotel is a convincing fusion of old style and the new. Pianos resound beside the library and the pool table. And the hotel’s state-of-the-art Nescens Spa is the perfect way to finish a day up the mountains. There’s a beautiful outdoor swimming pool and adjacent plunge pools. For families there are the two famous excursions (Jungfrau Joch and the Schynige Platte) as well as hikes, bikes and paragliding. For dining Quaranta Uno had an excellent and comprehensive Italian menu while La Terrasse has a confidently small menu offering complete elegant dining in a grand room decorated with a marble floor, palm trees and chandeliers. ‘Küchenchef’ Stefan Beer presents “Victoria’s dark secret” of strawberries and chocolate and a selection of cheese from Jumi de Berne. The perfect dinner consisting of small servings of light food. Don’t miss the 8 foot long Alpenhorns blown by locals in traditional dress.
