Lauterbrunnen Hotels: Rooms, Rates and Location

Location

Hotel Silberhorn stands in the historic village of Lauterbrunnen, set back off the main road, about 150 metres from the train station. That puts a guest a short walk from the trains to Interlaken and from the connection point for the Wengen rack railway, without the drive or the lift change that a stay in Wengen or Mürren would add to the same evening. The village setting also puts Staubbach Falls and the tourist office within easy reach on foot.

See getting around Lauterbrunnen for how the station connects onward to the rest of the valley.

Room Types and From-Rates

The hotel's own site lists these room categories: Single, Standard, Superior, Valley View, Valley View Superior, Valley View Top, Staubbach Room, Staubbach Top, Jungfrau Spa and Top Suite. The Staubbach Room is noted as having a waterfall view and sits in the Chalet Sonnenheim next to the main house. Published from-rates run from $168.90 (CHF 139) for a Single up to $387.60 (CHF 319) for the top rooms and suites.

These are the hotel's own starting prices, not a rate for a specific date, so an actual booking will usually cost more.

Food on Site

The hotel operates its own restaurant spaces: the Gletscherstuba, a Wintergarden, a dining room and a garden terrace, giving a guest four different settings for the same evening meal without leaving the building. That matters in a small village where dinner options thin out considerably after the day visitors leave on the last trains back to Interlaken. Having a kitchen on site removes the question of what is actually open on a quiet Tuesday night.

Who It Suits

If the plan is to arrive by train, drop a bag and walk to dinner without touching a car, a hotel this close to the station does the job with the least friction of any lodging option in the valley. It also suits a traveller mixing valley-floor days with out-of-town trips, since the station, the Postbus and both cableway connections all start from the same short walk. If waking above the valley cloud line matters more than that convenience, read Mürren or Wengen before booking a room here instead.

The Negative Finding

The official tourism-office accommodation pages at lauterbrunnen.swiss, wengen.swiss and muerren.swiss all load their hotel listings through a client-side search widget rather than a static list. No hotel names, room counts or nightly rates could be retrieved from those pages by a plain fetch in this research pass, which rules out printing a hotel directory for the village however useful that would be to a reader. No citable ranked list from the Michelin Guide or Gault&Millau surfaced any Lauterbrunnen valley hotel either, so there is no independent second source to fall back on.

What That Means Here

Rather than invent a list of hotel names or a village room count from memory or a competitor's page, this page names the one property verified from its own site and points to the live area search on where to stay for everything else a reader might want to compare. Treat any third-party claim of a complete Lauterbrunnen hotel ranking, or an exact hotel count for the village, with suspicion, since no official source publishes either figure and a scraped number is only ever a guess dressed up as data.

Alternatives If Hotels Are Full

Valley Hostel Lauterbrunnen, at Fuhren in the municipality, has 92 beds across 26 rooms in three chalets, either private or multi-bed, and it sits close enough to the village to work as a hotel alternative rather than a separate trip. See Lauterbrunnen hostels for the full detail. For a tent or a rental cabin instead, Lauterbrunnen camping covers Camping Jungfrau, open year-round on the valley floor with its own published price list.

The Rates

The visitor tax, the Kurtaxe, is $4.25 (CHF 3.50) per adult per night. Children aged 6 to 16 pay $2.13 (CHF 1.75) per night. Children under 6 pay nothing.

You pay it through the accommodation provider, not at a separate office.

What It Unlocks

Paying the tax unlocks the regional Guest Card, so it is worth asking at check-in what the card covers during your dates rather than treating it purely as a surcharge. For the wider money picture see Lauterbrunnen costs.

By Car

Drive to the valley floor and use Parkhaus Lauterbrunnen, which has 974 spaces and charges US$21.90 (CHF 18) per 8-hour block, open 24/7 with no maximum stay. See Lauterbrunnen parking for the full detail. From the garage it is a short walk into the village.

By Train

Trains from Interlaken reach Lauterbrunnen station directly, and Hotel Silberhorn is about 150 metres away. If the hotel is in Wengen or Mürren instead, the connection is the Wengen rack railway or the Mürren cableway at Lauterbrunnen station, since both upper villages are car-free.
