Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Murtenhof & Krone
1–3 Rathausg., Murten, Fribourg, 3280, Switzerland
In the heart of Murten's Old Town, this cluster of patrician houses dating back to 1428 conjures images of centuries gone by. Yet step inside, and the modern sits well alongside the revered history of this establishment, thanks to the sensibilities of the Joachim family, which has been running the show since 1978. Rooms and suites are individually designed and vary greatly; try out the Royal Senior suite if 16th-century baroque drawing rooms are your thing. The tavern and veranda are pleasant venues for the generous morning spread, and a changing à la carte fine-dining menu keeps you sated in the restaurant.
PROS
- individuality and heritage of establishment cherished
- in the heart of the peaceful Old Town
- kindly and quirky staff
CONS
- some say the walls are a tad too thin
- room design varies greatly
- busy restaurant below can be overwhelming in summer
