Sonnenhof is a slick combination of ultramodern chalet and elegant art nouveau villa.
Dorms are immaculate, and some have balconies with Jungfrau views. There's also a re-
laxed lounge, a well-equipped kitchen and a leafy garden for kicking back and enjoying
the Jungfrau views. Kids are amused in the playroom.
HÔTEL DU LAC $$

Höheweg 225; s/d Sfr160/280; )
Smiley old-fash-
ioned service and a riverfront location near Interlaken Ost make this 19th-century hotel a
solid choice. It has been in the same family for generations and, despite the mishmash of
styles, has kept enough belle époque glory to remain charming.

WALTER'S B&B $
( 033 822 76 88;

; Oelestrasse 35; s/d/tr/q Sfr50/66/99/112; )
Walter is a real
star with his quick smile, culinary skills and invaluable tips. Sure, the rooms are a blast
from the 1970s, but they are super-clean and you'd be hard pushed to find better value in
Interlaken. Breakfast (Sfr7) is copious, and the fondue dinner a bargain at Sfr19 per per-
son.
