Book this if You want a high-end Swiss wellness retreat where you can float in a saltwater pool while gazing at the Alps, and you don't mind being a short bus ride from the city center.
Why People Love It
- The 2,000m² Alpine Spa with its separate textile-free and swimsuit-friendly zones
- Direct access to Lake Thun with private beach and boat rentals
- Immaculate cleanliness standards that consistently earn 9.3/10 ratings
Quick Take: A pristine, health-obsessed sanctuary that feels like a wealthy friend's lakeside estate, but the 'modern ventilation' isn't quite the same as American air conditioning in July.
Reviewed by @LuxuryTravel: I spent a weekend here recharging and the mix of mountain air and luxury spa time was exactly what I needed. The sunset dinner by the lake was the highlight of my trip—perfect for anyone needing a serious mental reset.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is there air conditioning?
No. The hotel uses a 'modern ventilation system' (air cooling) which circulates fresh air but does not actively chill the room like a compressor AC.
Is the spa included in the room rate?
Yes, access to the 2,000m² spa is included for guests, including the indoor salt pool and saunas.
Is it dog-friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for CHF 25/night, but they are not allowed in the Thai restaurant (open kitchen) or the spa.
How do I get to Thun center?
Bus Line 1 stops right outside (stop 'Gwatt Deltapark') and takes about 10-15 minutes to reach Thun station. It's free with your guest card.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but check your specific rate. If not, the buffet costs CHF 35 per person.
What is the difference between the Main Building and Sporthaus?
The Main Building is 4-star superior with balconies and direct spa access. The Sporthaus is a separate annex with simpler rooms, often cheaper, and requires a short walk outside to reach the main facilities.
