Parkhotel Bellevue
Mid-century Alpine — think clean modernist architecture set against rustic Swiss mountains. Bright, light-filled spaces. Not a chalet, not a grand hotel; more like a very well-kept design museum that happens to serve excellent food and has a great spa.
Book a south-facing room — the valley view is markedly better and worth the extra spend
Why It Matters
One of the very few hotels in the Alps built in classical modernist style. It's a Relais & Châteaux member with a 14-point GaultMillau restaurant, a 1,700 m² spa with a panoramic outdoor saltwater pool, and an elegant design sensibility that doesn't shout about itself. The mountain views from south-facing rooms are exceptional.
A 4-star Relais & Châteaux property that opened in 1901 — though the striking streamlined white building itself dates to the 1930s, renovated in five stages between 2006 and 2015 by Basel architects Buchner Bründler. Positioned just above the center of Adelboden, surrounded by a garden of old maples, with panoramic mountain views in every direction. The interior is defined by mid-century design classics: furniture by Gerrit Rietveld, Norman Cherner and Konstantin Grcic, warm elm and walnut wood, and rooms that feel deliberately calm and generous. The restaurant Belle Vue holds 14 GaultMillau points and the 1,700 m² spa named 'pour' includes a heated outdoor saltwater pool at 34°C with mountain views.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Bellevue Apartment
A standalone 3-room flat in the newly built neighbouring building at Bellevuegässli 5, furnished in Bellevue design. Two bedrooms, a large living area with kitchen, and two bathrooms. Services are à la carte — room-only or add spa access, breakfast, and half-board. Minimum 5-night booking. From CHF 2,400 for 2 persons/7 nights room-only.
Double Room 'Nature' North
The entry-level category, designed around bright oak and elm wood and classic Scandinavian furniture. Bathrooms have a lemon-green accent. North-facing, so no direct mountain view across the valley — but genuinely peaceful and beautifully crafted.
Double Room 'Nature' South-West
Same Scandinavian-Nordic Nature aesthetic as the north-facing rooms, but with a south-west orientation giving valley and mountain views. A noticeably better prospect at only a modest price premium.
Double Room Superior 'Classic' South
The 'Classic' category is defined by high-quality materials and recreated mid-century furniture. Even larger windows bring the mountain panorama directly into the room. South-facing with excellent light from morning through afternoon.
Family Apartment 'Nature' North
A larger family unit in the Nature style, north-facing. Good for families who want the space of an apartment with hotel services.
Family Suite 'Privilege' South-West
The Privilege family suite in south-west orientation. Same high-end design vocabulary as the junior suites but configured for families, with more space and south-west mountain views.
Junior Suite 'Classic' Superior South
A stepped-up version of the Classic double with more living space, still in the mid-century design language. South-facing with generous views. The furniture references the same design classics as throughout the hotel.
Junior Suite 'Privilege' South-West
The top of the standard room tier. Warm brown and red tones, the finest elm and walnut wood, and designer furniture by Gerrit Rietveld, Norman Cherner and Konstantin Grcic. South-west facing for long afternoon and evening light over the valley. These are rooms you'll actually want to spend time in.
