“This hotel enjoys an enviable position on Thun's historic town hall square. The blend of modern design within a traditional structure strikes a compelling balance, while its dining options, including a Chinese restaurant, broaden its appeal. I think its location on the Aare River, near the castle, is a definitive advantage.”
