The Living Living Room of Swiss Democracy
State Hospitality & Panoramic Alpine Splendor in the UNESCO Capital
Standing with neoclassical grandeur directly adjacent to the Federal Palace of Switzerland (Bundeshaus) in the heart of Bern's UNESCO World Heritage old town, the Bellevue Palace has reigned as the official state guesthouse of the Swiss Confederation since 1913. As the only five-star grand palace hotel in Switzerland's federal capital and an esteemed member of The Leading Hotels of the World and Swiss Deluxe Hotels, it offers an incomparable vantage point overlooking the southern loop of the River Aare and the snow-capped summits of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
For over a century, the Bellevue Palace has welcomed visiting monarchs, heads of state, and legendary diplomats—while serving as the atmospheric hub of European intrigue celebrated in John le Carré's classic espionage literature. Its 126 individually styled rooms and suites marry Belle Époque stucco ceilings and antique accents with contemporary comforts like box-spring bedding, luxury marble bathrooms, and Nespresso stations.
Gastronomy at the Bellevue Palace is an integral part of Bern's social fabric. At Restaurant VUE, Executive Chef Gregor Zimmermann reimagines classic French and Swiss brasserie cuisine, while the sun-drenched Terrace VUE offers Bern's premier summer dining panorama. Noumi Grill & Bar introduces an energetic open-kitchen world food concept, and the storied Bellevue Bar invites guests to debate world affairs over 99 varieties of craft gin.
