A symbiosis of tradition and contemporary design
With its 150-year history the Schweizerhof is the hotel with the richest heritage in Berne. Celebrities like Peter Ustinov, Grace Kelly or Albert Schweitzer stayed here. Following a two-year comprehensive renovation the hotel shines again and radiates an aura of great history and grand style.
History
Renowned for over 150 years – in 2011 the Hotel Schweizerhof reopened in new splendor.
The Hotel Schweizerhof, which was known as “Hotel Fetzer” or “Zähringerhof” in the 19th century, received its current name by Daniel Vogel in 1859. In 1911 the Hotel Schweizerhof was torn down, rebuilt and festively reopened in July 1913. In 1939 Jack Gauer took over the management of the prestigious hotel. In the following years the hotel was renovated repeatedly. In 2005 the hotel was closed for extensive refurbishments. A comprehensive, two-year renovation started in 2009. Today the Hotel Schweizerhof is part of the portfolio of Buergenstock Selection. With an over 150-year legacy, a glamorous new period has now begun at Berne’s famous luxury hotel.
Hosts with talent and passion
With passion, commitment and joy, Iris Flückiger, the host and General Manager, together with her team of around 130 dedicated staff, look after the well-being of the Schweizerhof's guests, whether behind the scenes or "on stage".
Three beehives installed on the roof
Things are really humming up on the roof of the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern, especially for some 150,000 very hardworking hotel “guests” – three hives full of honeybees, which have been installed in April 2015 in their new home above the city rooftops.
Healthy Living
All 99 of our rooms and suites were designed and furnished by Maria Katsarou Vafiadis, of MKV Design in London. A blend of French charm and English understatement awaits you here. Images by Paul Klee, classic chandeliers and luxurious bathrooms featuring rain showers and amenities by Bulgari reflect the hotel’s mix of tradition and modernity.
