Märchenhotel Bellevue

Northeastern Switzerland


Could this be kid heaven? A converted grand Victorian hotel, the 'fairy-tale hotel' combines a beautiful setting and elegant modern rooms with all manner of child-pleasing fun – from alpacas and llamas to slides, climbing walls, trampolines and creative workshops. Parents can relax in the rooftop spa area and bars while kids are amused in the play area.
