The Royal St. Georges is a Belle Epoque hotel on the Höheweg, Interlaken's grand promenade, now part of a boutique collection and rated as a 4.5-star property. Its historic building has been restored to show off period features, from ornate ceilings and staircases to antique-styled furniture, alongside modern comforts in the rooms. Brasserie St. Georges serves international cuisine and breakfast, the bar-lounge is a characterful spot for a drink, and there is a library, a garden and terrace, and a small wellness area with sauna and steam room. It is a few minutes' walk from the casino, the Höhematte and Interlaken Ost, so it suits couples and travellers who want historic charm in a central location.
Location
The hotel stands on the Höheweg between the town centre and Interlaken Ost station, connected to the congress centre and a short stroll from the casino and the shops. Trains for Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Jungfraujoch, and boats for Lake Brienz, leave from Interlaken Ost a few minutes away. The Höhematte meadow, where paragliders land with the Jungfrau as a backdrop, is just along the promenade.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms vary in size and style, with period touches, down duvets, safes and desks, and some have mountain views. The brasserie serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a children's menu available, and the bar-lounge serves drinks and light meals. The wellness area is modest but welcome after a day outdoors. Cycling is easy from the hotel, and staff can help with excursion planning.
Who it suits and what to know: couples and travellers who appreciate historic architecture and a central location, and business travellers attending events at the congress centre. Rooms in older buildings vary, so ask for a renovated or mountain-view room if those matter. Check whether breakfast is included and whether parking is needed, as space on the Höheweg is limited.
