Or, relive the best moments of your day over drinks at 45 Bis, on the terrace or in the winter garden.

In the 128 rooms and suites, antique furnishings and stucco ceilings offer a sense of grandeur, and large windows offer sweeping views of the Bernese Alps. Vue combines traditional Swiss hospitality with classically modern cuisine, and with large crystal chandeliers, vaulted ceilings and views of the River Aare and the Alps from the terrace, it is the perfect place for a memorable meal. Enjoy a tipple at the hotel bar and lounge – with 99 types of gin on offer, it’s not hard to find your favourite – before heading out to enjoy the beautiful city of Bern. Relax and unwind in the Finnish sauna or enjoy a session in the gym which looks out across the rooftops of Bern to the old town and the Bernese Alps.

The Gstaad Palace is a large, fairy-tale structure set amongst woodland valleys.

Guests are rewarded with incredible vistas of the surrounding countryside from the large windows of the rooms and suites. All of these are beautifully furnished with wooden beams, antique pieces and luxe fabrics that give a warm and comforting alpine feel. The hotel also offers use of the Walig Hut, located on the higher mountain slopes in a charming rustic setting that has not changed much since its construction in 1786. Here, far up in these high meadows, you can enjoy lunch, dinner or even an overnight stay. Staying at the Gstaad Palace, you can indulge in a wide selection of culinary treats sure to delight the taste buds and warm the soul. Authentic Italian cuisine awaits at Gildo’s Ristorante while traditional favourites can be found at La Fromagerie. The bar is perfect for coffee or champagne and there is an outdoor barbecue restaurant for those bright summer days. After a day spent roaming the picturesque streets and boutiques, nothing is more relaxing than a session at the exclusive Palace Spa. Make use of the sauna, Turkish baths, indoor swimming pool and treatments rooms or enjoy a game of tennis or squash, or a session in the gym.

Built in 1681, Les Trois Rois is one of the oldest city hotels in Europe. Its glorious halls, rooms and suites carry with them an old-world charm while guestbook names such as Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, and Hans Christian Andersen lend a certain gravitas to its already sophisticated splendour. Located on the banks of the Rhine, this legendary hotel sits in the heart of Basel and has incredible views of the iconic waterway. Each of its 101 rooms are beautifully furnished with antique pieces and luxe fabrics, and equipped with the latest amenities and comforts. Many of the rooms come with their own balcony while the largest suite has its own rooftop Jacuzzi. Although the emperor never stayed there, the Napoleon Suite is an homage to his era with charming frescoes, ceiling panels and stucco work complimented by the unique corner salon. Cheval Blanc with three Michelin stars is recognised as being one of the best restaurants in the world, serving a unique brand of French haute cuisine with elements of Mediterranean flavours. The Brasserie is dedicated to using fresh and local produce from the market and five minutes from the hotel you’ll find Restaurant Chez Donati serving mouthwatering Italian cuisine.
