Boutique Hotel La Couronne (Solothurn)
#summervacay
Even though it’s in nearby Solothurn, this hotel made my Bern region trip unforgettable. La Couronne is one of Switzerland’s oldest inns, and it still feels regal—my room had high ceilings, bold artwork, and luxe linens. The on-site French brasserie served an incredible seasonal menu. It’s in the middle of Solothurn’s historic old town, so I explored baroque squares and the riverfront with ease. Worth a short train ride. #summervacay bliss.

This so-called "City of Ambassadors" is located about 30 kilometers east of Biel, at the southern end of Jura, on the banks of the Aare River.
