The Bellevue Palace opened as the Hotel Bellevue in 1865. After a full conversion, it reopened in 1913 before experiencing its first heyday during the 1920s.
The Swiss National Bank acquired the Bellevue Palace in 1976, handing over the property to the Swiss Confederation in 1994. The only Grand Hotel in Bern with a long-standing tradition is therefore owned by the state; as the official hotel for guests of the state, and the hotel of choice for numerous celebrities, politicians and diplomats, it possesses a unique flair.
