Hotel Lindenhof is the CUTEST hotel I have stayed in, situated a bit uphill, and about 10-minute walk from the Brienz train station. We had taken a family apartment on two floors. The ground floor had a living room, kitchenette and bathroom. It was so creatively decorated, with wooden tree-trunk benches and tables, a tree inside the room, and three stuffed creatures perched on the tree! Upstairs, there were two tastefully decorated bedrooms, and the kids’ room had bunk beds and a skylight on the ceiling.There was a small balcony from where one could get a superb view of the mountains, waterfall, a bit of the lake, a train track, the hotel’s own greenhouse, and cows grazing in the distance. We took a tour of the rest of the hotel property and found well tended gardens with nicely placed deckchairs where one could get great views of the lake below and a small outdoor play area.
There's a small indoor swimming pool with glass paneled walls, so one can get a view of the mountains and meadows while taking a dip. Suitably rejuvenated, we had a superb dinner at our hotel’s restaurant. The restaurant is furnished in old-style manner, with brass pots and pans decorating the walls and an ancient looking fireplace and brass stove. I chose a dish, which was a medley of three kinds of fish—grilled prawns, grilled salmon and crispy fried sole in saffron sauce. It was a huge portion and utterly delectable! I kept thinking to myself, Brienz is heaven—spectacular scenery and outstanding food!
