Character and identity

Set in the down-to-earth ski village of Adelboden, with the Bernese Alps and the Engstligen waterfall filling every window, The Brecon is a 22-room, adults-only hotel reimagined by Dutch studio Nicemakers. The wooden chalet exterior gives way to a "collected" interior of midcentury finds, bouclé sofas, slate crazy paving, Welsh wool blankets and ceramics thrown by the owner's wife. Ground-floor spaces flow from lounge to restaurant, where Welsh chef Bryn Williams oversees menus of burrata, spatchcocked chicken and local cheeses. There's a small spa, a terrace plunge pool, and an all-inclusive rate covering food and cocktails.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples who want an alpine bolthole without the Gstaad price tag or paparazzi: think mid-century enthusiasts, quiet skiers, summer hikers, and anyone who appreciates the maths of an all-inclusive rate in a country where a sandwich costs CHF 18. The adults-only policy and intimate scale suit guests who want long dinners and unhurried mornings.

Should look elsewhere:
Families are out (no children), as are travellers chasing a buzzy après-ski scene, a big-hotel spa with multiple treatment rooms, or restaurant-hopping variety. Adelboden is a one-street town, and serious lap swimmers will need to walk down to the 1930s public pool rather than rely on the hotel's dipper.

Bottom line

The proposition here is a genuinely original design hotel at an all-inclusive rate that, by Swiss standards, reads as fair value. Book it if you want a stylish, sociable home from home rather than a full-service grand hotel, and aim for a double-aspect Waterfall Corner room for the wraparound view; summer brings the waterfall hikes and lake swims, winter the World Cup slopes on the doorstep.
