Best Interlaken Hotels with Spa & Wellness for Families (2026)
12 family-friendly hotels with spa & wellness in Interlaken . Handpicked for families who want the best.
After a day at Jungfraujoch or six hours on the trail at Schynige Platte, your legs are wrecked and the kids have a second wind. That's when a hotel spa stops being a luxury and starts being the reason you sleep tonight. Interlaken has the widest range of hotel spas in the Bernese Oberland, from a 150-year-old grand dame to small modern wellness hotels where the sauna is open until 10pm. We picked five that work for families: spa access at reasonable hours, child policies that aren't hostile, and rooms where kids can watch a film while parents get 40 minutes in the steam room.
Interlaken is a spa town the old-fashioned way. 19th-century tourists came for the mountain air and stayed for the rest cures. Fast-forward 150 years and the town is still full of wellness hotels, but now the clientele is families and weekend couples rather than Victorian invalids. The vibe is less Austrian-thermal, more Swiss-alpine: hot tubs with a view of the Jungfrau, aromatherapy with pine, heated indoor pools facing snowy peaks. The best spas here are where genuine relaxation meets practical family timing.

🧖Why Parents Need an Interlaken Spa Hotel
A family trip to Interlaken is physically demanding. Cog-railway days involve 5,000 feet of elevation change, lake days have 3-hour boat rides, and even a casual afternoon at Harder Kulm means climbing a funicular and walking a ridge. By day three your back hurts, your feet hurt, and somebody's catching a cold from the altitude. A hot sauna and a cold plunge at 5pm makes the difference between a good holiday and a grumpy one.
Family spas in Interlaken mostly work on a 'daytime with kids, evening adults-only' model. That means you can bring the kids swimming from 9 to 5, and put them in the room with a film while you head back at 7 for actual quiet. A few hotels have full family zones. A few are strict about 16-and-over. Ask before booking if you want kids in the sauna.
Parent's take
The best moment of our Interlaken week was 6pm on day four. The kids were in the room eating room-service pasta and watching a movie in German they pretended to understand. We were in the hotel sauna for 40 uninterrupted minutes. No phones, no questions, no one asking for a snack. That's what a spa hotel buys you: 40 minutes of adult silence on a family trip.
Our Top 12 Picks
Hotels in Interlaken with spa & wellness, sorted by guest rating.

HOP Apartments & Suites
Interlaken Ost
Wonderful
392 reviews
Modern serviced apartments with full kitchens, washing machines and separate bedrooms, five minutes on foot from Interlaken Ost station. Bike rental is on-site with kids' bikes and e-bikes available, and the riverside Aare cycle path starts 200 metres away.
From
€2448/night
Why families love HOP Apartments & Suites
HOP scores 9.6 because apartments do what hotel rooms don't: a family of four sleeps in separate rooms, you cook breakfast at your own pace, and the washing machine handles muddy kids' cycling kit. Parents consistently mention the bike concierge who adjusts kids' seatposts properly and prints the lakeside route map before you set off.

Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa
Höheweg 41, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland
Wonderful
376 reviews
The Victoria Jungfrau is the Belle Époque grand hotel of the Bernese Oberland, anchoring the Höheweg with 5,500 square metres of spa and a supervised indoor children's play area that is the best rainy-day solution in town. Five stars, full service, and the price tag to match.
From
€8043/night
Why families love Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa
We blew most of a day's budget on one night here at the end of our Swiss trip and the kids still talk about it, mostly because of the breakfast room and the staff who noticed our seven-year-old's loose tooth and brought her a tiny wooden box. The supervised play zone saved the rainy morning before our train home. Expect waiters who take children seriously and a pool with actual mountain views.

Hotel Derby Interlaken
Interlaken
Excellent
0 reviews
A 3-star self-check-in hotel near the Höhematte park, with a small games corner in the bar that includes billiards and an extensive board game collection across two cabinets. The hotel has 26 rooms with mountain or street views, a shared kitchen for guests, and a breakfast buffet.
From
€406/night
Why families love Hotel Derby Interlaken
Quirky budget pick. The board game collection is the strongest in town — 40-plus games across two cabinets, including newer family games like Ticket to Ride and Codenames Pictures. Our kids spent two evenings on these. The billiards table is small, so adults found it cramped, but kids loved that they could reach across without help. Self check-in works fine but means no front-desk help if you have a question late at night. Worth the lower price for the game variety.

Hotel Derby Interlaken - self check-in
Jungfraustrasse 70, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland
Excellent
600 reviews
Hotel Derby is a three-star property opposite Interlaken Ost station with a children's playground and free access to the public Bödelibad pool complex around the corner. Its self check-in setup suits families arriving late by train.
From
€1219/night
Why families love Hotel Derby Interlaken - self check-in
We arrived at Ost station at 9pm with two overtired kids and walked across the road to Derby: self check-in worked on the first try, the family room had a real cot waiting, and the playground was empty but lit the next morning. Rooms are plain and the walls are on the thin side, but for the price and the station-door location it's hard to beat. Free entry to Bödelibad is a real perk on rainy days.

Stella Swiss Quality Hotel
Interlaken Centre
Excellent
610 reviews
A family-owned 4-star three generations deep, 3 minutes from the town centre, with family rooms, kids' meals, pool access and bike rental for guests. Rooms vary in size which works in your favour if you book the right configuration for two adults plus two kids.
From
€1193/night
Why families love Stella Swiss Quality Hotel
Stella is the price-value pick on this list. Rooms are individual rather than cookie-cutter, bikes are lent rather than charged, and the kitchen serves proper kids' meals (not reheated nuggets). Parents repeatedly call out the owners as helpful when planning day rides — they'll tell you honestly which route is too hilly for a 7-year-old.

Hotel Du Nord
Höheweg, Interlaken West
Excellent
850 reviews
Hotel Du Nord is a four-star on the Höheweg promenade in central Interlaken, 14 minutes by car from Niederried Golf Club, with 64 rooms including 12 family rooms accommodating up to four guests. The hotel runs a complimentary shuttle to local attractions including the lake beach and Harder Kulm cable car. Lobby has a packed-lunch service for early golf tee-times.
From
€425/night
Why families love Hotel Du Nord
We took a family room facing the Aare river side, away from the Höheweg traffic noise. The shuttle was the deciding feature: the kids got dropped at the cable car or the lake beach while my husband took the train to Niederried. Breakfast runs until 10:30 which works for a late return from an early round. The smaller children's pool is heated to 30°C, the main pool is cooler at 26°C. Staff happily packed sandwiches and a thermos of coffee for the 06:45 train to the course.

Hotel Artos Interlaken
Central Interlaken
Excellent
1,320 reviews
Hotel Artos is a 3-star family-run hotel near Interlaken Ost station, a 6-minute walk from the Jungfrau cog railway. The wellness zone includes sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, and a small indoor pool open from 7am to 9pm. Family rooms sleep four with interconnecting options available.
From
€450/night
Why families love Hotel Artos Interlaken
A proper family-friendly spa without the grand-hotel prices. The pool opens early enough for a pre-breakfast swim, the sauna is hot, and kids can stay in the pool area until 9pm (rare in Interlaken). Rooms are comfortable if not luxurious. The unexpected highlight is the breakfast garden terrace when the weather cooperates.

Boutique Hotel Bellevue
Interlaken West / River Aare
Excellent
1,240 reviews
A riverside boutique with balconies over the Aare, kids' outdoor play equipment, and both bicycle rental and guided cycling routes from reception. Central but on the quiet side of the river, near Interlaken West station.
From
€1416/night
Why families love Boutique Hotel Bellevue
Bellevue reads grown-up on photos but runs family-friendly in practice: staff store car seats, loan kids' helmets, and the Aare riverside path outside the door is the easiest half-day family ride in town. Parents especially like the breakfast timing — 6:30am onwards for early cycling starts, not the 8am Swiss norm.

SALZANO Hotel - Spa - Restaurant
Seestrasse 108, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland
Very Good
500 reviews
SALZANO is a three-star spa hotel a short drive from central Interlaken with a garden playground and a small indoor wellness area. Lower prices than town-centre equivalents and a quieter setting if you have a car and don't mind the 10-minute drive in.
From
€1217/night
Why families love SALZANO Hotel - Spa - Restaurant
The playground here is the best of the three-stars we stayed at: a climbing frame, a trampoline, and enough space that the kids made friends with other travellers within an hour. The spa is adults-only after 6pm but they do a 4-6pm family swim slot which is all we really needed. Parking is free, which matters if you've rented a car to do day trips to Lucerne or Gstaad.

Hotel Metropole Interlaken
Höheweg
Very Good
280 reviews
Hotel Metropole is a four-star high-rise on Höheweg with pet-friendly rooms at €25 per night and views of the Jungfrau from the upper floors. Top-floor sauna, family rooms in two configurations (interconnecting or queen-with-bunks), and a ground-floor bistro that allows dogs at the outdoor tables.
From
€833/night
Why families love Hotel Metropole Interlaken
Four nights in February with our 5 and 8-year-old and a 14-kg labrador-mix. The Metropole's height (18 floors) gives views of the Jungfrau from upper rooms — kids loved waking up to the snow peak. The pet-friendly rooms are concentrated on floors 2 to 5, all with hardwood floors, no carpet damage worry. The bistro outdoor tables let us eat with the dog. Pet fee €25 included a dog-friendly welcome bag with a treat and a city map of dog-walking routes.

The HEY HOTEL
Höheweg
Very Good
180 reviews
The HEY HOTEL is a four-star design hotel on Höheweg with pet-friendly rooms (€15 per night, max two dogs), pet bowls provided and a small interior courtyard for quick dog breaks. Family rooms sleep two adults and two kids and accept dogs in the family configuration. 5-min walk to Höhematte park and 8 min to Interlaken West station.
From
€989/night
Why families love The HEY HOTEL
Five nights in March with our 7-year-old and a 12-kg working spaniel. The HEY's pet fee is the most reasonable in central Interlaken, and reception had pet bowls and a water dish in the room before we arrived. The interior courtyard worked for early-morning toilet breaks before the streets were busy. Family room had two single beds for the kid and a queen for us, dog crate fitted next to the wardrobe. Spaniel-proof for one trip, would book again.

Very Good
200 reviews
Royal St. Georges is a four-star MGallery heritage property on Höheweg dating from 1888, restored in 2014. Pets accepted at €30 per night with a maximum of one dog per room. Spa locker rooms, sauna and a relaxation lounge. The location puts you across the road from Höhematte park for morning dog walks.
From
€1046/night
Why families love Royal St. Georges Hotel Interlaken - MGallery Collection
Six nights in October with our 9-year-old and a 9-kg miniature schnauzer. The MGallery upgrade brought USB sockets and decent restaurant food, but the pet fee was the highest of our picks at €30 per night. The position across from Höhematte park is unbeatable for a daily 6am dog routine. The 9-year-old loved the heritage architecture and the in-house Swiss-Italian restaurant ran a children's menu till 9pm. Book the parc-side rooms — quieter than Höheweg-side.
💡Booking Tips for Family Spa Stays
- 1Ask about kids' hours before booking. Interlaken spas split between family-welcome zones and adults-only areas, and it's not always clear from hotel websites. Children under 12 are usually fine in daytime; teens over 14 can often use evening hours too.
- 2Pack your own flip-flops and a second swimsuit. Swiss spas require sandals in pool areas, most hotels rent them for 8-12 CHF, and a dry second suit for evening means less faff between pool and dinner.
- 3Book a treatment on day three, not day one. The massages get better when your legs are actually tired, and most hotels discount in-house treatments if you book from your room phone at the spa instead of from reception.
- 4Skip the hotel restaurant on spa day. Most Interlaken spa hotels charge 45+ CHF for dinner. Walking 10 minutes to one of the pizza places on Höheweg saves money and the kids are already in pajamas when you return.
- 5Check the indoor pool opening hour. Swiss hotel pools usually open at 7am, some only at 8 or 9. If you want a family swim before the cog railway departs, confirm the pool hours match your breakfast timing.
