HOTEL BELLE EPOQUE $$
( 031 311 43 36;
www.belle-epoque.ch
; Gerechtigkeitsgasse 18; s/d from Sfr170/240; )
A romant-
ic Old Town hotel with opulent art- nouveau furnishings, the Belle Epoque's design ethos
sees TVs tucked away into steamer-trunk-style cupboards so as not to spoil the look. It's a
small operation, with a popular cafe, so don't be surprised by a few minutes' wait at re-
ception, watched over by a rather disconcerting mannequin. Wi-fi costs Sfr12 per day.

Eating
For a munch between meals, nothing beats the
brezels
(pretzels) smothered in salt crystals
or sunflower, pumpkin or sesame seeds from kiosks at the train station, or a bag of piping-
hot chestnuts.
