History
The Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken traces its origins to 1856, when the former doctor's house 'Pension Victoria' was bought by Eduard Ruchti. That building was demolished and rebuilt as the Hotel Victoria, which opened in 1865 to designs by architects Friedrich Studer and Horace Edouard Davinet. The adjacent Hotel Jungfrau, built 1864/1869, was acquired in 1895, and the two houses were united by a domed central section in 1899.
The hotel's landmark tower was rebuilt after a fire in 1906, and a comprehensive modernization in the early 1990s established its current spa-focused grand-hotel identity. Today the Bernese Oberland classic offers 216 rooms, including 106 suites, and is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, serving as the principal luxury base for Interlaken and the Jungfrau region.
