Arthur Conan Doyle once stayed in this art nouveau classic, but today it’s pensioners on whodunnit weekends who spy on the breakfast buffet. After the old-fashioned grandeur in the lobby, the rooms are something of an anticlimax.
Though the style is granny’s bedroom (net curtains, soft beds, love of beige) meets kids’ playroom (cartoon trains on duvets), rooms here offer reasonable value. The popular bar downstairs serves tasty rösti and steaks (mains Sfr14 to Sfr28).
It’s the little touches that count at this boutique-chic hotel: from the fresh flowers and designer furnishings in your room to the mountain views and free room service.
