The best accommodation in Wengen

Sunstar Hotel Wengen - one of the best ski hotels in Wengen
Alpine Hotel Wengen is right on the main street near the cable car

The majority of visitors to Wengen stay in hotels, mostly three- and four-star and varying a lot in character. The main street is by far the most convenient place to stay – some accommodation, including most of the rental apartments, is up or down steep hills from the centre and the lifts.

If splendid isolation in the evenings is not off putting, there are a couple of comfortable places to stay up the mountain - Hotel Jungfrau at Wengernalp and Hotel Bellevue des Alpes at Kleine Scheidegg.  The Hotel Belvedere and Hotel Wengener Hof are closed for 2023/24 and will re-open in Spring 2024 as five-star hotels.

For further Wengen inspiration, see our guides to the resort's best restaurants and après ski.


Hotel Bernerhof

In a fabulous position in the middle of the main street, near the cable car and a three-minute walk to the station, the Bernerhof was built in traditional chalet style in 1908. As one of the oldest hotels in the resort, rooms are fairly basic but its location can’t be beaten.

Arenas Resort Victoria-Lauberhorn

Built in 1897, the three-star Arenas Resort Victoria-Lauberhorn, on the main street, looks traditional from the outside but is ultra-modern with bright colours and contemporary furnishings inside. Of the 120 rooms, some have views over the valley and to the Jungfrau – the best are the Panoramic Superior doubles. The highlight is the wellness area with a saltwater pool, sauna and steam room, and panoramic views from the relaxation area.

Up a short hill from the station and main street, the three-star Victorian-style Falken was built in 1895, and has been run by successive generations of the von Allmen-Cova family ever since. A member of the Swiss Historic Hotels group, it is furnished and decorated in traditional fashion throughout.

Long regarded as the best hotel in Wengen, the four-star superior Beausite Park sits at the top of the village nursery slope (a steepish walk) and has fabulous views over Wengen and to the Jungfrau; the south-facing rooms make the most of them. The 42 bedrooms and public areas are furnished in modern style and the five-course dinners served in the aptly named Panorama restaurant are highly rated.
