Between Alpine idyll and contemporary hospitality: The Hotel Glacier Grindelwald
Furnishings, location and history
The 4-star superior boutique Hotel Glacier is located in Grindelwald, nestled against the imposing Eiger North Face – an Alpine panorama that immediately invites you to linger. With just 28 rooms and suites, the hotel combines a family atmosphere with striking, contemporary design.
Since its extensive renovation in spring 2018, the hotel has interpreted its 150-year history—inspired by the Lower Grindelwald Glacier, after which it is named—through modern aesthetics and the highest standards of comfort. Many rooms boast custom-made furniture, hardwood floors, subtle anthracite and blue tones, and plenty of natural light. Highlights include the Signature Rooms, featuring a private outdoor whirlpool and elegant COCO-MAT® beds made from natural materials.
Culinary delights – from breakfast to spa aperitifs
Glacier Fine Dining
In the fine-dining restaurant, led by Chef Paul Cabayé, Alpine tradition meets French refinement. The establishment has been awarded 16 GaultMillau points. Seasonal 5- or 7-course tasting menus emphasize local ingredients and sustainable practices—from sourcing to waste minimization. Cabayé has received numerous honors for his culinary excellence, including prestigious awards such as the “Golden Chef” and a top spot at the Bocuse d’Or. 
Petit Glacier
The informal sister area offers an à la carte menu in the lounge or on the terrace. The dishes are regionally inspired—casual yet flavorful, ideal for lunch or dinner in a relaxed atmosphere.
Bar & Lounge
Here you can enjoy classic cocktails, champagne, craft gins, or whiskey next to the fireplace or on the terrace. A stylish setting to end the evening.
Wine culture
Wine is an integral part of the hotel’s culture. The wine list, which won the Vinum Award for the best wine list in Switzerland, includes over 450 to 600 labels – both local and international. 
Wellness & Spa
After an active day, the small but fine spa area invites you to relax: a wood-burning sauna, a hammam, a relaxation area with waterbeds, refreshments and – as a highlight – an outdoor whirlpool heated to 37°C all year round with spectacular views of the Eiger.
Sustainability & Experiences
The hotel emphasizes its strong connection to the environment—sustainability is a core value. The goal is to minimize environmental impact, whether through material selection or energy use.
The resort is a starting point for alpine activities such as skiing, hiking, trail running, and family outings in the Jungfrau region. The team actively supports guests in planning individual experiences.
