Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa Review

Grand says it all. Mark Twain may have slept in this 1865 landmark, but its restoration has taken it firmly into the 21st century, with glitzy postmodern touches such as the burled-wood entryway. The vast Belle Epoque atrium lobby spirals off into innumerable bars, tea salons, and the concierge desks, where the front desk staff may seem frenzied by the awesome demands of 400 occupied beds. There are plenty of facilities, including indoor master golf, and a knockout spa. Guest rooms are gorgeous, from fresh gingham fabrics and waxed wood floors to marble columns. Nearly all take in the obligatory view over the central Interlaken meadow and on to the Cinerama-wide range of Alps, with the snowy peak of the Jungfrau crowning the far distance. A casual restaurant, La Pastateca, joins the flashy formal dining room, La Terrasse, but don't forget to check out the Brasserie, a mammoth, leaded-glass-and-carved-wood Victorian concoction almost as delicious as its meals.
