Hotel des Balances

Total number of rooms: 71 | Prices start from 412.3 US$

Housed in a former 12th-century guild hall, this boutique-style hotel blends history and elegance in the most captivating way. The moment you step inside, frescoed façades and shimmering chandeliers set the tone for a refined and welcoming stay. Each room and suite has its own charm, but the river-facing ones steal the show.

Guests wake up to the Reuss gliding beneath the windows, framed by views of the Chapel Bridge and Jesuit Church. Inside, expect plush and comfy bedding, marble bathrooms, and just the right mix of old-world details and contemporary comfort.

Dining here is a full sensory experience. The award-winning Restaurant La Balance serves elegant French and Swiss cuisine on its terrace perched over the water. The bistro offers a more relaxed vibe, while the piano bar feels like something out of a classic European film, perfect for a nightcap or live jazz.

Good to know: The frescoes on its façade were painted by Hans Heinrich Wägmann, the same artist behind the famous Chapel Bridge paintings.
