As a fan of Band of Brothers we were keen to visit this beautiful location; albeit described as in Austria in the movie. As previous reviews state this is one of the most stunning locations you could ever visit , it is truly breathtaking scenery. However, this is a hotel to visit as a day visitor only. When we arrived... More

We spent one week-end in Grand Hotel Giessbach in Brienz in a Romantic room on the 3rd floor with full lake view. We wanted to go to this hotel for a long time and waited for the best weather. Hotel was fully booked the week before, but we called again on Friday morning and a miracle happened: a reservation was... More

I thought the hotel was superb. The hotel itself looks like a fairytale castle set in the most beautiful almost dream like setting!. We booked the romantic room. It was a bit small but nice and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the waterfalls. I really enjoyed the stay and hope to come back some day soon! More

My husband and I have been to many different countries and both agree that this might be the most serene and breathtakingly beautiful place we have ever stayed. The history of the hotel and it's natural beauty, ahhh. Perfect place to go to relax! We stayed in the Giessbach Suite, which we would highly recommend, had dinner on our balcony... More

The website speaks by itself: a XIX century hotel, with an incredible view on the lake, next to the waterfall; the Bellevue rooms are fantastic, extremely romantic. The staff is very professional. The hotel is connected to the lake by a train funiculaire which looks like a time trip. To be honest this is one of the most marvelous hotel... More

The Grand Hotel Giessbach, Brienz is a place where one treads only in dreams..... Literally, that's how we all felt after experiencing such a beautiful, unimaginable location! It is a 200 yrs old royal property with its own charming cog-wheel train which brings you up/ takes you down from the boat-station. You can also reach here by using their complimentary... More

I spent one night at Giessbach with my parents on a cold, rainy weekend in May. We had adjacent "Romantic" rooms on the first floor facing the waterfall. We arrived by boat from Interlaken and funicular – definitely the recommended way to do it. The setting is spectacular, with the hotel perched up above the lake and dominated by the... More

The Grand Hotel Giessbach is not only a great place, but it is a destination in itself. Rooms start at 130 Swiss francs for one and 170 for a double room. There is a choice of rooms that overlook the forest, the waterfall, or lake. All rooms are equipped with direct dial telephone, toilets and showers or baths. Although the... More

Beautiful historic architecture building in very beautiful surrounding. On one side beautiful lake and mountain. We enjoyed breathtaking sunset view over the lake. On the otherside is beautiful waterfall with colorful autumn leaves as backdrop. Our room was pretty basic and basic amenities for the price we paid (CHF210++ for a double room). As the hotel is out of nowhere... More
