VICTORIA-JUNGFRAU
GRAND HOTEL & SPA – INTERLAKEN
Grand Tour La Belle Époque 5-Star Hotel
In the middle of
the 19th Century as Switzerland was coming to the world’s
attention as a travel destination, an enterprising young entrepreneur
Eduard Ruchti, at the ripe age of 22 bought a lodging house with a location
in the heart of Interlaken which had been the home of a physician, and
after operating it as the Pension Victoria for eight years, hired local
architects Friedrich Studer and Horace Edouard Davinet to completely
redesign the property, opening the Hotel Victoria in 1865. Then, 30 years
later in 1895, he acquired the adjacent Hotel Jungfrau and joined them
together, liking the two hotels by a common entrance under a distinctive
glass dome and an impressive façade. The new grand hotel attracted
the exclusive clientele of traveling industrial magnates, writers and
royalty then making Interlaken a world famous resort stop on the Switzerland
Grand Tour. In 2015, the Hotel Victoria Jungfrau is celebrating its 150th
Anniversary.
The Victory-Jungfrau
Grand Hotel & Spa is a 5-star luxury
property dating from the Belle Époque and one of the most beautiful
in Switzerland for its setting and traditional style. All the rooms
have distinctive designs with fine fabrics and décor, bright
large windows for picturesque views, from classic traditional to contemporary,
with elegant interiors and spacious marble bathrooms. Rooms offer a
choice
of views, either looking across the valley to the eternally snow-capped
peaks of the Jungfrau Mountain joined by the Monch and Eiger or to
the Harder Kulm mountain which overlooks Interlaken.
The Restaurant
La Terrasse with 15 GaultMillau points offers refined
international cuisine in first-class style. Enjoy unique taste compositions
in contemporary gourmet cuisine, and indulge in the atmosphere of
Interlaken with piano music, or tantalize the taste buds with a Sunday
Barbecue
brunch. The Restaurante Quarante-Uno presents Italian inspired cuisine
in a modern ambiance with a full wine list and Sommelier. In the
summer, the newly opened Victoria Terrace Lounge invites you to enjoy
the sunshine
and views of the mountains, while the Victoria Bar is the year round
spot to enjoy cocktail or a glass of champagne in a relaxed atmosphere
which has been entertaining exclusive guests for a century and a
half.
The Hotel Victoria-Jungfrau
was featured in the television dating show “The
Bachelor” as an iconic romantic location and is well situated
for all the activities Interlaken and the surrounded area offers.
