With astonishing views of the Eiger, this chic boutique hotel pays homage to its past as humble lodgings for the men who once harvested the ice from Grindelwald's glacier, with black-and-white photos, icicle lights and mountain murals. Retro-modern rooms in cool grey and blue tones come with hardwood floors, Marshall radios and Coco-Mat beds. The restaurant serves imaginative, region-driven food.
Post-hike or ski, you can bubble in the Eiger-facing whirlpool in the spa or taste hand-picked wines in the cellar. Owners Justine (a base jumper) and Jan (a professional triathlete) are your helpful, outdoors-obsessed hosts.
