Grandhotel Giessbach
The charitable foundation "Giessbach dem Schweizer Volk" was set up by Franz Weber in 1983 to save the historically valuable grand hotel from the Belle Epoque, which is worthy of protection, from demolition and to preserve this beautiful piece of home overlooking Lake Brienz as a common heritage for the Swiss people.
We live in a time that is hectic due to many factors. Time at the Grandhotel Giessbach slows down and feels different, more valuable and more intense. The genius loci is determined by the location, the water and the view of the turquoise-green Lake Brienz. Experience a moment in your life in this unique place. A house full of history becomes the embodiment of the statement "no origin, no future". You will leave differently than when you arrived: The atmosphere of the traditional grand hotel, the furniture from the end of the 19th century, the embedding in nature, which reinvents itself every year and breathes its own magic into the hotel with every season. Immerse yourself in this symphony of past and present and take unforgettable moments home with you.
The longing for nature is growing ever greater. Unadulterated experiences in the nature park of the Grandhotel Giessbach are possible at any time of year. The energy of the waterfall, the trees and the rock formations never ceases to amaze. In any light and at any time of year, the view provides breathtaking moments that invigorate the mind and soul. The Giessbach Foundation maintains the entire complex and the surrounding forests with great commitment in order to preserve this lifeline for future generations. Enjoy moments of closeness to nature, and enjoy the power that arises. It is a total work of art made of earth and rock that is second to none.
From the recommended excursion destinations to the origin of the products used in the kitchen: The Grandhotel Giessbach is supported by the region and pays respect to this heritage. Many farmers and local producers contribute to the well-being of our guests with their products. This deep rootedness carries the legacy of Franz Weber and embodies one of the most subtle forms of environmental protection. The herbs from the hotel's own garden, the vegetables whenever possible from the hotel's own fields or from the historic garden sheds and even the honey is produced by the Giessbach bees.
During the summer months, the question of what the Grandhotel Giessbach feels like in winter came up again and again. Now is the opportunity to find out for yourself. Away from conventional luxury and the hustle and bustle of everyday life and towards unspoiled nature and soothing tranquillity. After an invigorating walk in the park, read your favorite book by the fire and enjoy a hot cup of tea or a glass of wine. In the evening, our restaurant team will spoil you in the historic rooms with loving creations and lots of regional cuisine from the famous Giessbach kitchen.
