The Belvedere is a Grindelwald hotel run by the Hauser family, who have been hoteliers since 1904. It stands at Dorfstrasse 53, with free parking and a station pickup, and sits close to the Eiger Express. The wellness area is small but good, with an alpine-style indoor pool, a salt-water Jacuzzi in the garden, saunas and a steam bath. The hotel's gourmet restaurant, 1910 Gourmet by Hausers, holds one Michelin star in the 2025 guide. Rooms include double rooms, suites and family rooms with air conditioning, and many have balconies facing the Eiger or the Wetterhorn.
Grindelwald is the base for the Eiger Express, Jungfraujoch and First, and the Belvedere's location makes it a practical base for all three. The village is a train ride from Interlaken Ost, the Terminal for the Eiger Express is a short distance away, and the hotel offers a station pickup. In winter a private morning ski bus runs to the valley stations, according to its booking listing.
The rooms are traditional alpine in style, with box-spring beds, a pillow choice, tea-making facilities and mountain views. Family rooms and suites suit families, and children up to 11 stay free in existing beds in a parent's room, according to its booking listing. The wellness zone gives a good end to a cold day, and the garden Jacuzzi is a highlight on a clear evening.
Note that some rooms are being renovated until about 21 December, with work limited to weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm, so ask for a room away from the work if you are sensitive to noise.
Dining is a strength. As well as the Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant, there is an a la carte restaurant, a half-board option, a cocktail bar with billiards and a fireplace lounge, and a Fondue Gondola. Breakfast is a buffet with regional products. Parking is free, which is unusual and useful, and the hotel has an electric car charging station. It suits families, couples and food-minded travellers. It is a mid-to-upper-priced stay, and the village centre is a short walk but not directly on the doorstep of the lifts.
