Best Interlaken Hotels with Family Suites & Apartments (2026)
7 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Interlaken . Handpicked for families who want the best.
A standard Interlaken hotel room sleeps two. Bring kids and you need space: a second bedroom, a sofa bed that's actually comfortable, and ideally a kitchenette so you're not eating raclette for breakfast on day three. The good news is Interlaken has a solid apart-hotel scene that most Swiss Alps guides skip over, plus a handful of proper hotels with family suites that work for four. We walked through every option under 200 CHF per person per night and picked the five that handle real family logistics, from stroller storage to where you put the ski boots.
Interlaken is weirdly practical for a mountain resort. Swiss train logic means the whole town runs on a grid between two stations, so families with a double buggy can get almost anywhere without stairs. The Höhematte meadow in the middle is a car-free lawn where kids chase paragliders landing and teenagers pretend not to be impressed. Mornings are cog-railway trips up to Jungfraujoch or Schynige Platte. Afternoons are lake boats or the Harder Kulm funicular. Evenings are fondue and an early bedtime. It just works.
🛏️Why Pick a Family Suite in Interlaken
The math on a family suite in Interlaken is simple. A four-person hotel room sleeps four in one bedroom. A family suite gives you two bedrooms, or a bedroom plus a separate living area with a real sofa bed. That matters when one kid wakes at 6am and you want the other to sleep until 8. It matters more when the weather turns and you spend a full afternoon indoors waiting out a storm.
Kitchenettes are the other big win. Switzerland is famously expensive. Breakfast for four at a hotel restaurant can easily top 80 CHF. Having a fridge, a kettle, and two hot plates means you can do breakfast, lunch sandwiches, and one simple dinner in the room. Over four nights that's real money saved, plus fewer meltdowns from kids who just want cereal.
Parent's take
Walk the main street between the two stations and you'll see the same thing every afternoon: parents with toddlers in strollers heading back to the hotel, kids dragging feet after a full day on the mountain. A room with two beds and nowhere to sit is brutal after that. A suite with a separate bedroom door you can close is the difference between a tantrum and a nap.
Our Top 7 Picks
Hotels in Interlaken with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
HOP Apartments & Suites
Central Interlaken
Wonderful
376 reviews
HOP is a modern apart-hotel in a quiet residential pocket east of Interlaken Ost, a 10-minute walk from the station. Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom suites with full kitchens, washing machines, and balconies with Jungfrau views. Finishes are Scandinavian-clean and every unit has a dishwasher.
From
€619/night
Why families love HOP Apartments & Suites
A genuinely excellent family base. The two-bedroom suites sleep six with a proper door between parents and kids, and the washing machine is the unsung hero after three days of muddy hiking clothes. The only catch is the 10-minute walk to the station with luggage, which is fine downhill on arrival and a slog on departure day. Book it anyway.
Swiss Inn & Apartments
Central Interlaken
Wonderful
898 reviews
Swiss Inn & Apartments sits on a quiet side street between Interlaken West and the Aare river, a 4-minute walk to the train station. Family apartments have two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a small balcony. The family running it lives on site and hands over keys personally.
From
€456/night
Why families love Swiss Inn & Apartments
The kind of place that sticks in the memory, less for the rooms (which are simply comfortable) and more for the hosts. The mother will show you the best playground, the father has opinions about which cheese to buy at Migros, and the grandfather fixes bike tyres for free. Apartments are spacious and well-equipped. Excellent value for Interlaken.
Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa
Höheweg 41, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland
Wonderful
376 reviews
The Victoria Jungfrau is the Belle Époque grand hotel of the Bernese Oberland, anchoring the Höheweg with 5,500 square metres of spa and a supervised indoor children's play area that is the best rainy-day solution in town. Five stars, full service, and the price tag to match.

€8043/night
Why families love Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa
We blew most of a day's budget on one night here at the end of our Swiss trip and the kids still talk about it, mostly because of the breakfast room and the staff who noticed our seven-year-old's loose tooth and brought her a tiny wooden box. The supervised play zone saved the rainy morning before our train home. Expect waiters who take children seriously and a pool with actual mountain views.
Essential by Dorint Interlaken - New Opening
Central Interlaken
Excellent
1,570 reviews
Essential by Dorint is a brand-new hotel (opened late 2025) a 3-minute walk from Interlaken Ost station. Family rooms sleep four with a separate bunk alcove for the kids, a small kitchenette with fridge and microwave, and a balcony facing Harder Kulm. Ground floor has a guest lounge and 24-hour coffee machine.

Why families love Essential by Dorint Interlaken - New Opening
The brand-new factor shows: everything works, nothing is worn, and the bathroom design actually considers families (grab handles, child step, a proper shelf for toys). Bunk alcove is a hit with kids under 10 and a problem for teens over 12. Kitchenette is minimal but enough for breakfast and snacks. Station proximity is the real win.
Hotel Artos Interlaken
Central Interlaken
Excellent
1,320 reviews
Hotel Artos is a 3-star family-run hotel near Interlaken Ost station, a 6-minute walk from the Jungfrau cog railway. The wellness zone includes sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, and a small indoor pool open from 7am to 9pm. Family rooms sleep four with interconnecting options available.
From
€450/night
Why families love Hotel Artos Interlaken
A proper family-friendly spa without the grand-hotel prices. The pool opens early enough for a pre-breakfast swim, the sauna is hot, and kids can stay in the pool area until 9pm (rare in Interlaken). Rooms are comfortable if not luxurious. The unexpected highlight is the breakfast garden terrace when the weather cooperates.
Boutique Hotel Bellevue
Central Interlaken
Very Good
1,242 reviews
Boutique Hotel Bellevue is a small 4-star run by the same family for three generations, a 6-minute walk from Interlaken West and the Höhematte meadow. The spa is compact: one sauna, one jacuzzi, one steam room, and a cold plunge. Rooms are individually styled in Alpine-modern.
From
€1457/night
Why families love Boutique Hotel Bellevue
More of a wellness corner than a full spa, but the pieces it has are excellent quality. The jacuzzi fits six, the sauna is proper hot (85C), and the view from both is across the valley to Harder Kulm. Kids welcome from 9am to 5pm, adults only after. The real reason to book: the owner's wife makes cakes for breakfast that could make you miss a train.
The River Village
Central Interlaken
Very Good
994 reviews
The River Village is a cluster of wooden chalet-style apartments on the Aare river, a 12-minute walk east of Interlaken Ost. Units sleep four or six with private bedrooms, full kitchens, and a shared garden with barbecue and kids' trampoline. The river runs right behind the buildings.
From
€442/night
Why families love The River Village
The setup is closer to a holiday camp than a hotel, and that's the appeal. Kids run between the units to find friends, there's a trampoline and a sandbox in the garden, and the river is shallow enough to paddle. Downsides: you need to drive or walk 15 minutes to the main shops, and the apartments feel rustic rather than polished. Great for older kids who want independence.
💡Booking Tips Parents Actually Use
- 1Book the Jungfrau Travel Pass before arrival, not at the station. It covers trains, boats, and funiculars for 3 or 6 days and pays for itself fast with two kids and two adults doing two big mountain days.
- 2Stay within 10 minutes walk of either Interlaken Ost or West station. Interlaken has limited paid parking and most trips start from the trains, so a central suite saves you an hour per day in logistics.
- 3Ask about cots before you book, not after. Swiss apart-hotels sometimes charge extra per night for a cot, and availability can be tight in July and August. Confirm the crib is included in the price.
- 4Save one rainy-day activity for when weather flips. The Trümmelbach Falls, the Tropenhaus in Frutigen, or the indoor Flow Park work great when the Jungfrau disappears into cloud for two days straight.
- 5Avoid peak July weekends if you can. Prices jump 40% Friday to Sunday in high summer, and cog railway queues triple. Arrive Sunday, leave Friday, and you get the same weather at two-thirds the cost.
