Interlaken
Interlaken sits in the literal gap between two Alpine lakes—the Thunersee and Brienzersee—with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau forming a white wall of mountain above the town that has been stopping Victorian tourists in their tracks since Thomas Cook organised the first group tour here in 1863. The hotel scene has grown around that adrenaline tourism without entirely surrendering to it: Victorian grand hotels on the Höheweg maintain genuine elegance alongside the outdoor-sports booking offices, while a growing number of boutique properties in the Matten and Unterseen quarters provide quieter alternatives. Interlaken's extraordinary range of activities—Jungfraujoch railway, paragliding over Grindelwald, canyoning in the Saxeten gorge—means the best hotels here understand that their guests want efficiency and adventure support alongside comfort. Europe's most spectacular mountain town still earns its reputation.

When is the best time to visit Interlaken?
Shoulder season — typically spring (March–May) and early autumn (September–October) — offers the best balance of good weather, lower hotel rates, and manageable crowds. Peak season brings the most vibrant atmosphere but also the highest prices. Check local festivals and events as these can both enhance and complicate your visit.

mid-range hotels run $120–250/night. Luxury five-star hotels start from $300/night and can exceed $1,000 for top suites. Prices vary significantly by season, so booking 4–8 weeks ahead usually secures the best rates.
What neighbourhood should I stay in for my first visit to Interlaken?
For first-time visitors, the city centre or historic quarter offers the best combination of walkability, restaurants, and access to main attractions. Once you know the city, neighbourhood hotels often offer better value and a more authentic experience. All the hotels in our guide include neighbourhood notes to help you choose.
