Romantik Hotel Schweizerhof Grindelwald

At Romantik Schweizerhof, the path runs between flowers and timber façades with red shutters.

A week here, month by month

I come to Romantik Schweizerhof for a balcony facing the Eiger, 2 minutes’ walk from the station. Dinner at Schmitte, though, has to be booked at least 48 hours ahead and paid in advance.

What Romantik Schweizerhof is

At Romantik Schweizerhof, the old hotel has grown into a small resort, with rooms in the traditional building, suites in Grand Chalet and accommodation in the chalets. The original chalet, with its pitched roof and house inscription, can still be recognised to the left of the façade. The Swiss Alp Resort extension was completed in 2009; the main building also houses the fireside lounge.11

The bowling alley with its Alpine hut gives the resort a place to gather outside the rooms.

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Romantik Schweizerhof’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A guest appreciated the central location, away from the crowds.

  2. Room

    7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A guest reports a bad smell in the bathroom even with the ventilation on.

  3. Staff and service

    7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A guest remembers the kindness of the restaurant staff and the vegetarian dishes they enjoyed.

  4. Breakfast

    Guests remember a generous, good breakfast. One guest expected more for the price of the room.

  5. Price

    A guest considered the stay good value, remembering the choice and quality of food and drink in particular.

54 guests said so on Google, from 1 January 2026 to 20 October 2026. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The upgrade that adds distance

A couple describes an upgrade they did not want: the apartment is bigger, but reaching it means moving between chalets, using the underground lift and climbing stairs.

The booking stops on the phone

A guest describes trying to book 3 rooms for 4 people. They say the system charges for 3 meals per person across 2 nights, and the automated phone assistant cannot transfer them to a person.

Curhaus towers above Zurich, art in the corridors and warm water facing the city.

The Belle Époque façade on Rue du Grand-Chêne: red awnings, wrought-iron balconies and the carved gable above the columned entrance porch lettered “Lausanne-Palace”, with flags; the brasserie’s green awning on the left
