Fodor's Review:

The scenery is breathtaking from almost any vantage point in this turreted, 19th-century Belle Epoque haven overlooking the famed Giessbach Falls, across the lake from Brienz. The lobby has high, chandeliered ceilings and period furnishings in golds, yellows, and soft pinks—stucco angels, full-length oil portraits of Swiss beauties, and other Proustian touches all cast their spell and will have you feeling like an off-duty H.R.H. in no time. Guest rooms are comfortable and spacious. The Parkrestaurant ($-$$$) has a glorious "orangerie" overlooking the falls, while Chez Florent is a serious gourmand affair. The official address for this hotel is Brienz.
