Belle Époque wellness palace
Belle Époque grandeur meets alpine leisure along the promenade, where guests gather on the terrace facing the snow-capped Jungfrau summit.

What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The Victoria-Jungfrau has gamely kept pace with the times, updating its slightly rustic Alpine-style pomp with some extremely restrained modern touches.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the Höheweg promenade opposite the green Höhematte meadow, the hotel sits centered between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.
The rooms
Classic ceiling moulding and marble bathrooms meet streamlined modern furniture, framed by tall windows opening toward alpine peaks or the town.
Pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter outdoor swimming pool sits on the lawn, and the timber-trussed fitness centre opens around the clock.
The thermal baths
A heated outdoor saltwater pool steams against forested alpine slopes, joined by indoor whirlpools and saunas.
The spa
Treatment suites host Nescens longevity therapies and Sensai silk rituals, opening onto peaceful relaxation lounges.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Radius crafts tasting menus from ingredients sourced within 50 kilometers, and Victoria Bar pours cocktails to nightly live piano.
Rooms are decorated in Belle Époque style; the Bel Air spa suites are loft-like and are done in light grays, natural woods, Asian design elements, with deep tubs that fill in 60 seconds.
How it began
Founded as Pension Victoria in 1856, the property merged with the neighboring Hotel Jungfrau in 1899 beneath an ornate central dome.
