We traveled from Aarau where there were all local residents. Thun was the next largest area. Still the local charm and some tourists. Lucern was an even more populated with a ton of tourists. We loved Thun it was the perfect mix of walking, shopping and boat excursions. Hotel Arte was centrally located for all that you would like to do. The Swiss Pass was the best for the clean convenient transportation.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were more than willing to hold onto our luggage for a few hours after we checked out and took a day trip to Eggishorn.

Property is recently renovated and very stylish, with a consistent aesthetic throughout. Furnishing and finishings are well thought out, modern, and luxurious. The property itself is ideally situated, with lovely views of the Aare River, the historic covered bridge/dam, and the architecturally interesting surrounding buildings. Our room was comfortable, clean, and very functional. Very nice shower. Balconies are great. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and got us into our room early. We will definitely stay here again!
