Le Grand Bellevue

My family and I had an amazing stay at Le Grand Bellevue. The staff from the reception, restaurants and spa were super friendly and helpful especially the concierge staff, Olivier, who organised a wonderful excursion day for us. We had a driver to take us to the most scenic places and had the most delicious lunch at the best fondue restaurant in town. Thank you very much Olivier for giving us the most memorable day in Gstaad!!

It’s always a pleasure going back to this hotel, there are tons of positive aspects, big and small, too numerous to list. And that is what makes this place so special. Driving their Microlino was great fun as well! Always happy to arrive and sad to leave…

We spent 4 days at the Grand Bellevue in Gstaad in August 2024. This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. First the staff is extremely nice: always willing to help with a smile. The ambassador guest, Olivier Desbois, who speaks 17(!) languages, was particularly helpful: advising us on treks in the mountains, reserving tickets for a concert and discussing life in general. The atmosphere of the hotel is cosy and relaxed with many amenities available: swimming pool, sauna, gym, massage, private cinema, library, etc. Our room was large, sunny with a great view on the mountains surrounding Gstaad. The breakfast was extremely varied with both a buffet and an "à la carte" menu served by friendly and smiling hosts.

Gstaad is our favorite town in Switzerland, but it is not for everybody and especially not for busloads of tourists or teenage ski Bumbs. It has several 5-star hotels all of which are different and live up to their ranking. The hotel Le Grand Bellevue is excellently located on the edge of the promenade shopping street featuring many of the highest end luxury boutiques. Most of its rooms have unobstructed mountain views. While the hotel is not air conditioned Gstaad is high enough that it generally cools down at night so that the temperature is pleasant with assistance from a fan that the hotel gladly provides. Since the hotel is located on a quiet and large piece of property, noise with open windows at night is not an issue. It is not a late night party scene. The countryside looks like the Swiss version of what I imagine Aspen looked like 50 years ago, but many of the traditional Swiss chalets have state-of-the-art subterranean amenities. Again the staff here was top notch, personable and knew who we were. Hiking trails are nearby and picturesque.
