Located in the upper building of Adelboden’s historic Hotel Huldi, The Brecon stands as a testament to timeless elegance and discreet luxury. Originally built in 1914 and once known as the Waldhaus, this venue was a bustling hub of glamour and socialite gatherings throughout the 1950s, '60s and ‘70s. The renovation of The Brecon draws inspiration from its rich mid-century heritage, infusing the hotel’s 18 rooms and four suites with the distinctive aesthetic of the sixties and seventies. Guests will find themselves immersed in an atmosphere of understated sophistication, marked by a subdued earthy palette and natural, comforting textures mixed with brutalist details. Each room offers breathtaking views of the majestic Adelboden Massif, creating a harmonious blend of interior warmth and exterior grandeur.

​

Our aim was to craft a sanctuary for those seeking privacy and tranquility, emphasizing the comforts of home intertwined with the finest elements of traditional Swiss hospitality. Each room and suite is elegantly and pragmatically furnished with a curated mix of contemporary and vintage pieces, art from Amsterdam’s Bisou gallery, and was styled with a selection of collected objects from all Europe. Natural fabrics, including wool, linen, and cotton, contribute to the sense of luxuriously comfortable rooms that complement the stunning mountain vistas visible from every window.
