Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Allegro Bern

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

In a town renowned for its antiquities, Hotel Allegro stands out as thoroughly modern. Styles range from the interior atrium rooms, with one-way glass windows, flat-screen TVs, and backlit smoked-glass headboards to penthouse suites with private balconies, panoramic city views, rounded leather furniture, and whirlpool baths. Unusual for Switzerland: there is an ice machine on every floor. Three restaurants, Chinese, Italian, and the gourmet Meridiano, provide excellent meals. There's also a bar and casino on-site.
