Grand Hotel Belvedere by Beaumier – Capturing the Dialogue Between Historic Swiss Grandeur and Cosmopolitan Aesthetics

High above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, in the car-free village of Wengen—where J. R. R. Tolkien once found inspiration in the alpine landscape—the Grand Hotel Belvedere stands as a place imbued with palpable history. Built during the Belle Époque and thoughtfully reimagined by Beaumier, it unites historic substance with a clear, contemporary design language.

It is a place of quietude, where architecture, landscape, and light interact with effortless harmony. There is no grand gesture, no overt statement—rather, an atmosphere shaped by restraint and conviction. Suspended between tradition and modernity, everything feels coherent, considered, and intentional.

The history is tangible without ever feeling staged, and it is the people who lend the house its soul. A distinct design ethos reveals itself subtly yet consistently, expressed in every carefully resolved detail.

My time there felt singular, and it was a true pleasure to capture its unique atmosphere through my own photographic perspective.
