3 Best Hotels in Fribourg, Fribourg and Neuchâtel

In a typical 17th-century sandstone house, this hotel is within walking distance of museums, churches, the cathedral, and Old Town. The hotel is friendly and familial; all the rooms have been renovated, but the old-world charm has not been lost. It's on Fribourg's main street, so ask for a back room if you are a light sleeper.

At this attractive seven-story hotel, guests are treated to modern, quiet, and spacious studiolike rooms at very good prices. The location is central, but if you want views, easy parking, or glitch-free Wi-Fi, spend a few more francs to stay elsewhere. It's blessed with an elevator—not always the case in Switzerland—so there's no need to worry about luggage transport.

A cloister in the 17th century and an inn during the cattle-market days of the 18th and 19th centuries, this sophisticated auberge now has a striking blend of minimalist furnishings and medieval details. In the guest rooms, whitewashed stone walls hide TVs, and sleek bathrooms include elegant vanities. The cozy restaurant (closed Sunday evening, Monday, and Tuesday) serves gourmet seasonal cuisine under an original vaulted ceiling.
