The Hotel Fiescherblick Grindelwald
The Hotel Fiescherblick has been recently renovated and is located in a peaceful corner of the charming village of Grindelwald. Powder Byrne is excited to collaborate on its re-opening just in time for the winter season after being vacant for a long time. The hotel is now run by brothers Matthias and Lars Michel and offers remarkable views of the scenic surroundings, including mountains, a quaint little church, and a local history museum.
Q: How did you develop the concept for Hotel Fiescherblick? What inspired you?
For us it was clear that we want to create something modern, yet cosy and it should reflect our identities. We are Swiss-Danish nationals and thus we com- bined Danish Design with materials and colours from and around Grindelwald. The most important thing was quality in every detail.
Q: Can you tell us the hotel’s philosophy?
Personality and quality – These are the two pillars of our hotel. Guests spend time at our home and they should feel like home. We don’t want anonymous hotel factories like in the big chain hotels. We want to show the guests our Grindelwald.
Q: The Hotel Fiescherblick is part of the "Wf W Green Hotel" concept. Can you explain a bit more about this concept and the sustainable development practices implemented during the hotel's construction? How was the existing building structure preserved?
WfW is a concept that focuses on water. This is not the only thing we do for a greener future. It is a matter of course that we want to become more eco-friendly as we have been witnessing the melting of the glaciers in Grindelwald all our life.
Q: What are the unique features of the 19 newly renovated rooms at Hotel Fiescherblick?
All of them are designed in Scaninavian simplicity yet being cosy. The natural colours have an earthing effect on the guests.
Q: What do you consider to be the unique selling points for your property?
It is us constantly being present. We greet the guests, do check-in with them serve them cocktails. Make sure they get their tickets for the excursions and so on. I think the restaurant is also one of the unique selling points of the hotel. We offer an ex- clusive dining experience for all our guests.
The in-house restaurant at Hotel Fiescherblick is said to have a unique culinary culture. Can you tell us more about that?
In my opinion restaurant should be like this. They should offer dishes that are made from the best in- gredients, locally sourced and cooked with love and then beautifully presented. We like to combine some different cuisines like Japanese, French and Nordic.
With the winter season fast approaching, what can guests expect during their stay at Hotel Fiescherblick? Are there any special events or activities planned?
Well we are excited to open our new spa area as of December 2023 with a Japanese Salt water Onsen pool and a Sauna. The festive season is always nice too and then there is, of course, the world famous Lau- berhorn Race taking place in Wengen in mid January.
