We have stayed in this hotel on a number of occasions and it gets better every time, we have re-booked to spend Christmas and New Year there. On arrival the welcome was very good and we went to a superb newly re-furbished south facing room with a view to die for. The 5 course evening meals were superb and no menu was repeated during the 14 nights we were there, the view from the dining room was wonderful. The staff were superb, friendly and very, very helpful.

The room was very comfortable and kept very clean by the chambermaids. The hotel is well placed in the village, only a few steps from the bus station, so not far to walk after a long day out. The hotel offers free passes for the cable cars, buses etc., which is a huge advantage (Summer only).

We look forward to returning for Christmas and the New Year.

June 2009 will be our fith visit to the Hotel Beau-Site since 2003. It is positioned just out of Adelboden's main village centre directly opposite to the bus station within fairly easy sight seeing distance to the rest of the Bernese Oberland once back down the valley to Frutigan, however if like us you enjoy a trip up the many local cable cars and a gentle (or not) walk back down through the mountains , pastures and villages stopping to watch cheese making and enjoying the splendid views then you will not need to travel very far at all. We now stay in one of the premium rooms which although a little more expensive are quieter as they do not overlook the village steet and are a touch more spacious with superb views up the Engstlige valley. The buffet breakfasts are something to really enjoy with quite a vast choice, we have found that a few bits and pieces from the very reasonably priced Co-op for lunch will easily keep us going until dinner. One of us is a vegetarian and although the Swiss cannot seem to quite grasp the idea of this and although the hotel does not specificly cator for it they always make great efforts to serve a suitable meal, which in any case are always delicous. The staff are always extremely helpful even if they do not sometimes grasp English which of course is far superior to our non existant Swiss German, and the hotel and rooms we have found spotless. As intimated the meals are extremely well presented with the occasional special evening, we were present at the first barbeque ever held at the Beau Site and are still recovering. June is a particularly good time of year as it is reasonably quiet but the uncut pastures and meadows are carpeted with wild flowers and if the timing is correct the cattle herds can be watched climbing upto their summer pasture on the Engstligenalp. This is definately our favourite holiday destination and we have never found fault with the Hotel Beau Site.

Visited this hotel in 2007. Out second time at the hotel - the first being 5 years ago.
The first time was good and this is the reason we decided to go again
The second time was not as good.
The room we had this time was on the top floor, a small room with a small balcony. My sons bed was in the apex roof space - he liked this at first but soon found it cramped, a 5 year old could not stand up in this area - and our son was 10.
Room storage was average – not enough and the room was small.
The food was Ok - slightly above average but not great.
Hotel position is good, very central and convenient.
Reception OK - problem on the last night when they tried to ask for more money for our son - we needed to contact the Holiday rep to clear this up.
Leaving was also not too good either – left early am – 5:30 – but no one to let us out and all doors were locked and we had to try and find our way out via the garage.
Sorry but although we go to Switzerland nearly every summer we will not return here

Our second visit to Adelboden but the first to the Beau-Site and we were not disappointed. Our room (premium south facing) had an picture postcard view right up the valley - you can see the World Cup course and the floodlit frozen waterfall at night.
The five-course evening meals were always inventive and delicious - you have a choice of main course and dessert if necessary but we always stuck with the suggested choice. There was a Raclette evening and a candlelight dinner during our stay. Breakfasts are generous and varied. We found the staff very pleasant and efficient at all times.
The fitness room is a very well-equipped and staffed gym . The hotel is only a five minute walk to the bus station from where you can get a bus to the main cable car or to further afield (bus fares are included in the local lift pass.)

PS We can also speak highly of the local helicopter rescue service and both Frutigen and Interlaken hospitals but that's another story! (Remember your E111 card for free treatment.)
