An exceptional stay in the heart of Bern
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at the Bellevue Palace Bern with our management team. The service was outstanding throughout—professional, attentive and genuinely welcoming.

The food was excellent, and the beautifully appointed rooms combined classic elegance with every modern comfort. The hotel’s unique atmosphere and prime location next to the Federal Palace made the experience even more memorable.

A truly exceptional hotel and a wonderful choice for both business and leisure. We look forward to returning!

PALACE HOTEL WITH A RIVER VIEW!!!
Pros:

Okay, so this is our second stay - and thus second review - of the magnificent Bellevue Palace, Bern. 9 years apart.

So what has changed and what is the same?

Firstly, the fantastic location of the hotel will always make it a brilliant option for anyone wanting to stay in the heart of the action in Bern. It is literally a block away from the famous Zytglogge and iconic streets and across the street from the Casino and walking distance to the parliament.

The public areas of the hotel are superb, featuring all the Belle Epoque features that make this hotel famous. Our room, as it was in 2017, features an incredible river view. The only significant change to the room has been the change from carpet to parquetry which adds a classy touch. The furniture has been upgraded too. The bathroom however appears to be the same as 2017.

We were greeted with a complimentary drink on arrival in 2017, this time we were not. There was complimentary Bern branded chocolate bars in 2017, but they appear to have been discontinued it seems. The staff from 2017 who made such a deep impression on us, in Jost, Roberto, Ricardo and Samuel are all gone - either retired or working elsewhere. The staff was again good, but not quite to the same memorable level as 2017. Certainly not a criticism.

The terrace is superb and will always be a major selling point, as is the stunning Art Nouveau glass dome in the lobby. The river view is to die for. Thus, the Bellevue Palace will always attract those wanting to experience all the positives the hotel has to offer. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Happy Mother's Day
Pros:

My daughter treated me to a lovely and delicious tea for Mother's day. It was outstanding. Beautiful sandwiches, pastry and of course tea. The dining area was so elegant. Service was wonderful. There is an outside terrace but the day was too windy. The view is truly Bellevue.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt, guter Valet-Service und Concierge top.
Pros:

Lage und Aussicht sind top.

Der Portier, Concierge und die meisten Angestellten machen einen professionellen Eindruck.

Cons:

Der Service auf der Terrasse war zum Teil nicht sehr aufmerksam und hat gezielt andere Gäste öfter bewirtet, als andere.
