Absolutely perfect, 10/10 experience.
Pros:

My husband and I were so very fortunate to have our wedding in Wengen (we are from the US). Wengen is our favorite place! The Baren hotel hosted our reception dinner (for 20 people) and they completely exceeded our expectations. Planning a wedding in a different country can certainly be overwhelming, but Nicole helped ease every worry of mine. She walked through every step with us via email and videocall. She made the vision I had come to life! Everything was perfect and so beautiful! We are so thankful for the team at the Baren Hotel, they did not miss any detail with our dream wedding and the service was exceptional. We look forward to our next visit, cheers!

Baren is the hotel to stay in when visiting Wengen
Pros:

Another great stay at the Baren Hotel! Each time we visit Wengen we have only stayed here. The room was very clean and had a great view of the mountains. The breakfast had a great selection of items to choose from and the service excellent. Questions we had were completely answered by whoever was at the front desk. We love this area of Switzerland and will try our best to get back again!

Exceptional in all ways
Pros:

Everything about our stay was wonderful. Our balcony room was very nice and the view we had was awesome. Breakfast each morning was very good and we made a wise decision to go with the half-board, because the four dinners we had were outstanding. With all of that said, the quality of the staff at the hotel perhaps exceeded even the exceptional room and restaurant. Everyone we encountered over our stay was professional, kind, helpful, and friendly. We almost felt like family by the time we checked out; it has my highest recommendation.
