Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel De Ville

29 rue du Bourg, Gruyères, Fribourg, 1663, Switzerland

Right on cobblestoned Rue du Bourg, this beckoning small hotel has large, airy rooms that tastefully mix bright Tuscan colors with traditional pine furnishings. Rooms in the rear overlook the valley, and front rooms gaze out on the village. The honeymoon suite, with its pretty four-poster bed, is ideal for a romantic getaway. The restaurant serves steaming fondue, raclette, local trout, and other Swiss dishes. Special low rates in the quiet season are attractive.

PROS

  • traditional country hotel in enchanting medieval setting
  • sidewalk terrace for fair-weather dining
  • charming staff go the extra mile

CONS

  • rich fondue smell in the restaurant may be too pungent for the fainthearted
  • no elevator
  • lack of air-conditioning
