Mountain Magic & Modern Luxury: Cambrian Hotel Adelboden Review
“The mountains are calling, and I must go”
Looking for a luxurious Alpine escape where you can ski all day, warm up by the fire at night, and soak in mountain views from a steaming outdoor pool? The Cambrian in Adelboden promises all of that and more.
Adelboden itself has long been a destination for winter travelers, and this hotel has been part of its history for over a century. Once known as the Grand Hotel Regina, it was transformed into the contemporary retreat you’ll find today—a place where modern design meets traditional Alpine views.
In this review, I’ll cover the rooms, the restaurant, and the location—and help you decide if The Cambrian is the right spot for your next Swiss getaway.
Here we go! Let’s determine if the stay is worth it while we cover all aspects of the hotel, from the rooms to the location.
The Location
Nestled amidst the pristine Swiss Alps, the Cambrian Hotel in Adelboden boasts a location that seems straight from a postcard. This charming mountain village, with its storybook scenery and fresh mountain air, is the idyllic setting for your next getaway. Adelboden offers a captivating blend of natural beauty and Alpine tradition, making it the perfect backdrop for your dream vacation.
The Cambrian Hotel is ideally situated in the heart of town, which means that you can easily explore the village, go shopping, or dine outside the hotel.
However, it's important to note that the drive to Adelboden can be a bit tricky, with narrow, winding mountain roads ascending into the hills. If you're not accustomed to driving in the mountains, I recommend making the journey during daylight hours to ensure a safe and scenic arrival.
The Rooms
After a full day in the Alps—whether that’s skiing, hiking, or simply wandering through Adelboden—you’ll want a room that feels like a retreat. At The Cambrian, the interiors strike just the right balance between modern elegance and cozy Alpine charm. Think clean lines softened with warm textures, creating a space that feels both stylish and inviting.
If you can, go for a south-facing room. Waking up to sweeping views of the snow-dusted peaks is an experience in itself, and watching the light change over the mountains becomes part of your stay. The deluxe rooms also give you a little more breathing space, making them a comfortable choice if you’re planning to linger a while.
The Restaurant
Whether you’re going for a cozy dinner for two or a relaxed meal with the family, the restaurant at The Cambrian makes dining feel like part of the getaway. With warm, inviting interiors and big windows framing the mountains, it’s the kind of place where you can really slow down and enjoy the moment.
The menu mixes Swiss favorites with international dishes, so there’s plenty to choose from no matter what you’re in the mood for. Grab a plate, take in the views, and soak up the Alpine vibe
The Amenities
When it comes to relaxing after a day in the mountains, the Cambrian doesn’t disappoint. The pool is a cozy little oasis, perfect for kicking back and soaking up the views of the snow-capped peaks. It’s not really for doing laps—it’s more about floating, unwinding, and letting the Alpine scenery do its thing.
Even if you’re just lounging poolside with a warm drink or letting your feet dangle in the water, it’s a lovely way to slow down and take in the calm, crisp mountain air. Between skiing, exploring Adelboden, or just soaking in the hotel’s vibe, this spot makes it easy to forget the everyday hustle.
The Verdict
In a nutshell, the Cambrian Hotel in Adelboden is that perfect Alpine escape—cozy, inviting, and just the right size. It’s not a huge resort where you feel lost in the crowds; instead, it feels like a hideaway where you can actually relax and take it all in.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend or a family getaway, the mix of comfort, style, and those breathtaking mountain views makes it a spot that sticks with you. If you’re after a place to unwind, enjoy the scenery, and soak up a bit of mountain magic, the Cambrian delivers—leaving you refreshed, relaxed, and already dreaming of your next visit.
