How a sanatorium became a timelessly elegant design hotel

The Bellevue Parkhotel & Spa is one of very few hotels in the Alps built in the linear, classical modernistic style. There are only two in the Bernese Oberland; in Adelboden, the streamlined, snow-white 1930s building contrasts with the rustic village and landscape.

The recently renovated façade is nevertheless not just a front, but rather the envelope of an equally coherent inner life, designed over the last few years by Basle architects Buchner Bründler. Experience the timelessly elegant Design Hotel, its generous rooms that almost let nature right into the hotel and the high quality furniture design, all in front of the imposing Alpine decor of Adelboden.
