NIce hotel in or around the Interlaken area

Peri, There are some posh Hotels in Interlaken, but have you considered staying in Lauterbrunnen or other locations in the valley (Mürren?), especially since you want to "see the mountains". There are a number of good Hotels in that area. Here are a few suggestions for Hotels in Lauterbrunnen: Hotel Staubbach Hotel Silberhorn Hotel Oberland If you'd like to look at Mürren, I can suggest a few there. Interlaken is in a nice location on the lakes, but the Lauterbrunnen Valley is the best place for mountains, and is a great home base for exploring that area. Some of the excursions you could consider are the trip to the Schilthorn or the trip to the Jungfraujoch. Both are a bit pricey, but incredible views! I'll be back there again this fall, and quite looking forward to it! Happy travels!

Thank Ken. How about Wengen? Does Wengen provide a good base for those daily expeditions you suggested?

Wengen is a great location as well. It tends to be sunnier than the other side of the valley, and many hotels offer rooms with views of the Jungfrau. The nicest in town is the 4-star Beausite Park Hotel.

Thank you. I checked and Beausite Hotel has indeed received very nice reviews. While checking Beausite I discovered Hotel Caprice in Wengen that was also highly rated by people who stayed there. We will try one of these two hotels.

By all means definitely get a hotel up in the alpine villages. Leave Interlaken for train connections.
