It is an old grand dame. Do not expect brand new - but boy did it deliver in every way. Beautiful views, maintained trails and gardens, gorgeous pool, insane views! The experience was fantastic.

Incredible atmosphere and staff, having a hotel on the waterfall is nothing short of beautiful. Only negative about the hotel is its accessibility. If you like to go out past 5pm, your return options are very limited unless you are driving. The hotel does provide some free transportation, which was great from getting to/from the train stop. No AC, but they provided fans upon request. We were there on the hottest day of the year and it wasn’t so bad. Any other time of year and it is probably not even noticable. Amazing included breakfast buffet. Restaurants are very nice, but pricey. Good wine selection.

This is a top tier hotel experience. From the location to the property grounds to the rooms to the restaurants, everything was magnificent. Do yourself a favor and get a balcony room overlooking the lake and waterfall - a once-in-lifetime stay.

A magical place. Difficult to reach by car from Zurich . Transportation from Ferry and train to Intervale would be easier. Sleeping with the sound of waterfalls is unforgettable!

We've just returned from a 2 night stay at the Grandhotel Giessbach and wow, what a place! The hotel is certainly grand and is located in the most beautiful location I've ever seen, overlooking Lake Brienz with the Giessbach falls only metres away! The staff were all very pleasant, the breakfast was great, the bar was lovely, the Les Cascades restaurant was lovely, the surrounding park and trails were truly beautiful! However, my only complaint is that we had to pay 15CHF per night for parking. I think for the price you pay to stay at the hotel, parking should be included for that price

The best way to describe this hotel is: straight out of a fairytale! The view from literally anywhere you look are absolutely spectacular. The hotel is 150 years old but they have done an outstanding job at conserving it authentic and classic look but with some modern and classic touches for comfort. You feel like you are transported in a time-capsule machine to a classic, glamorous and beautiful place. Certainly an experience that I would highly recommend

Beautiful, well thought out rooms. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Loved the coffee/tea bar located on the third floor. The breakfast was fabulous- Huge selection of choices and very tasty. Enjoyed the outdoors restaurant- food very good and the outdoors areas were stunning. Wish food service in the outside garden went into the evening as it suited all age groups.

Historic Hotel with a Waterfall on the grounds for my solo Birthday trip. Beautiful grounds but definitely not a flawless stay as I had hoped it would be for the price. Highlights were the very clean & cosy room, & endless views of the glacier Brienzersee Lake!

The best hotel experience a person could have. It is very pricey but worth every penny especially for special occasions. We paid extra for an unbelievable lake AND. waterfall views.
