When you’re dallying in the terrace pool, with the flanks of the Bernese Oberland rising operatically above, it all feels pretty wonderful.
Conde Nast Traveler, April 2025But best of all is that this adults-only (18-plus) hotel is all-inclusive—a rarity in high-priced Helvetica. Expect mini bars stocked with Champagne and Swiss milk chocolate or chasselas and espresso martinis without the usual sticker shock.
Time Magazine, March 2025There’s a spa that’s reserved for guests only, complete with a rooftop swimming pool, and naturally all the attractions of the Alps, from hiking and biking to skiing and other wintertime adventures, lie right at your feet.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Storied Past Reimagined
Originally built in 1914 and once known as the Waldhaus, the upper building of Adelboden’s Hotel Huldi now lives on as The Brecon. In its mid-century heyday, it was a glamorous destination — a magnet for tastemakers, high-profilers, and hopefuls drawn to its vibrant atmosphere. Today, The Brecon carries that same spirit into a new era, with warmth, elegance, and quiet sophistication.
Dining That Delights All Day
At The Brecon, great food isn’t an add-on — it’s central to your stay. A generous à la carte breakfast, relaxed afternoon tea, and beautifully prepared dinner are all included in your room rate. Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients shine in every dish, with the open kitchen acting as the heart of the house, where meals are crafted with intention and flair.
Indulgence, Anytime
Drinks are always flowing — from signature cocktails and carefully chosen wines to fresh-pressed juices. Your room includes a complimentary minibar, thoughtfully stocked for whenever you need a refresh. A curated selection of Aesop products adds a touch of indulgence to your everyday routine.
Alpine Adventures & Quiet Escapes
Beyond the comfort of the house, a range of curated experiences invite you to engage with the raw beauty of the Alps. Explore snow-covered trails on snowshoes, try your hand at ice climbing, or simply wander on a guided hike. When night falls, unwind under a canopy of stars. Every moment is designed to help you disconnect, slow down, and feel truly at ease.
Design with Heart and Soul
Amsterdam-based studio Nicemakers has shaped The Brecon’s interiors with an eye for comfort and authenticity. Each of the 18 rooms and four spacious suites blends natural materials — think timber, stone, leather, and wool — with midcentury furniture and artisan-crafted details. Earthy tones and tactile textures create a sense of calm, while the panoramic mountain views make it nearly impossible not to linger just a little longer.
