The hotel itself holds two Michelin Keys – a distinction reflecting exceptional hospitality and character. At Le Grand Bellevue, recognition is a consequence of quality, not a pursuit in itself.

Is afternoon tea served at Le Grand Bellevue?

Yes – a cherished ritual in The Lounge, best enjoyed at a measured pace. Expect a selection of teas, pastries, and the hotel’s celebrated hot chocolate cocktail menu.

Does the hotel have a cocktail bar or lounge?

The Bar is one of the most atmospheric rooms in the hotel – Art Deco in style, with a zinc-topped bar, and a cocktail menu that rewards the adventurous. Equally suited to a quiet aperitif and a longer evening.

Are vegan, vegetarian, and special dietary requirements accommodated?

Can guests dine outdoors in summer?

Yes. In summer, alfresco dining is available in the garden lounge and on the terrace. Evening cocktails and shisha under the summer sky are a particular favourite among returning guests.
