Hotel-Restaurant La Maison du Prussien
In the gorge of Vauseyon, 10 minutes from Neuchâtel, this restored 18th-century brewery with polished beams, yellow-sandstone highlights, and lush views sits alongside a roaring woodland stream. Every individually decorated guest room has lovely whitewashed walls. The glass-roofed winter garden restaurant (closed Saturday lunch, Sunday, and Monday) offers one of the region's best meals with its innovative seasonal cuisine, or you can enjoy a simpler lunch on the terrace overlooking the stream. Take the tunnels under Neuchâtel toward La Chaux-de-Fonds, exit toward Pontarlier-Vauseyon, and look for the hotel's signs.
