The Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel sits between the two lakes of Interlaken, defined by a massive, Belle Époque facade painted a soft, creamy yellow. It began as a modest guesthouse in eighteen fifty-six, but the arrival of the railway turned the quiet town into a playground for European nobility. When Empress Elisabeth of Austria arrived for a long stay in eighteen ninety-three, she brought her entire court, prompting the owners to expand rapidly into the sprawling, ornate palace that dominates the street today.
