19 Mar 2025

Want to soak in an outdoor brine pool while admiring the Alps? Done. Prefer a steamy sauna session followed by a massage? They’ve got you. The interiors are 1940s boudoir-chic and the vibe is ultra-soothing. Looking for a luxury stay filled with adventure? Then the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in the heart of Interlaken is the place to be. Now picture this: you wake up, stretch out in your sinfully comfortable bed and pull back the curtains to reveal the Swiss Alps in all their shimmering snow-capped glory. And if you can’t wait to have your own DDLJ moment in the Swiss Alps then Interlaken is one of the best cities to visit in Europe. For the Bollywood aficionados out there, the hotel even has a dedicated Yash Chopra suite, which he personally inaugurated in 2011.

A little fun-story

This place has been doing luxury right for the last 150 years. Originally called the Pension Victoria, it later merged with Hotel Jungfrau resulting in the stunning Belle Époque beauty that stands today. Over the years it has hosted royalty, writers and artists — so undoubtedly, you’ll be in good company.

With the stunning Swiss Alps as your backdrop it’s the perfect spot to escape, reset and treat yourself to some well-deserved indulgence.

Foodies rejoice

Adventure is Calling

Interlaken is a thrill seekers paradise. In the summer, you can go paragliding, river rafting or hiking through jaw-dropping sceneries. And the winters are all about skiing, snowboarding and epic toboggan runs. And let’s not forget the Jungfraujoch — aka the Top of Europe — and the Schilthorn where you can channel your inner James Bond since the 1969 movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was filmed here.
