Description

The Grandhotel Giessbach is a historic hotel dating from 1874, set in the heart of a 22-hectare park in a secluded location on a mountain overlooking Lake Brienz. As a guest at this property, you can look forward to views of Lake Brienz and the Giessbach Waterfall, an outdoor swimming pool and two restaurants – one of which has a summer terrace. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

You’ll be staying at the foot of the Giessbach Waterfall. The hotel is directly connected to the Giessbach jetty via Europe’s oldest funicular railway.

All rooms at the Grandhotel Giessbach feature carefully restored original furniture with 19th-century charm.

The two restaurants serve modern and creative cuisine. Half-board includes a four-course dinner.

Couples particularly appreciate the location – they have rated it 9.5 for a stay for two.
