Our Hotel ~ The Victoria Jungfrau

Our hotel was beautiful. It was built hundreds of years ago, and they have since renovated it but kept the original style.  We were treated like royalty, with fruits and chocolates and pastries left on our nightstands each night and throughout the day. The first night we didn't know what was going on when they came in to get our bed ready for us to go to sleep, but we got used to being waited on pretty quickly :) 


The architecture was beautiful. It seemed like we were discovering new rooms and areas throughout the entire week.









My favorite part of the hotel was our balcony. The weather was perfect and we loved sitting out and watching the para gliders land in the park right in front of us. 


They would leave fruits, chocolates, and pastries on our nightstands for us throughout the day. After asking one of the concierge's where I could buy more of the chocolates they had given us, we came up to our room a few hours later to find 5 boxes of them.  

At night a violinist and pianist would play below in front of our room, and Sam and I would put Jenna to bed and sit out on the balcony talking, eating chocolates and listening to the music.

Jenna loved having new places to explore. She was a big fan of the huge bathtub. 



We ate all of our  breakfasts at the hotel. Breakfasts were filled with the best homemade jams and croissants and a variety of gourmet cheeses and breads. I am not a cheese person but I loved all the different cheeses. Sam's favorite was the cherry jam.

In the evenings we would go down and listen to Ramone play the piano. He was amazing. We never did find a song that he couldn't play. He loved Jenna, and she loved listening to him. 


On our last night, we had promised Ramone that we would bring Jenna down so he could get a picture with her. We were out at a late dinner, and came back and put Jenna to sleep and completely forgot. Luckily Sam remembered before it was too late, so we woke Jenna up and brought her down for a picture with Ramone. 

We ate a few of our dinners at the hotel. On our last evening, we dressed up and went to a really nice dinner at the hotel. The room that we ate in was amazing. There were so many different types of foods, but Sam and I both ended up filling up on the shrimp and chocolate fountain. The chocolate was way better than the chocolate fountains I have had in the past. We ended up filling up a bowl of chocolate and dipping our gelato and other desserts in it as well, as did another couple at our table :) During the dinner they had an amazing singer perform for us. She was a modern day Whitney Houston (black and super good, ha ha). She said she had just performed for Donald Trump's daughter for her birthday party.

I'm afraid your vacations are all downhill from here. What a beautiful place. Jenna is going to be really ticked off someday that she doesn't remember it.
