Grandhotel Giessbach, Lake Brienz

In 1873 the well-known Hauser family of hoteliers, from Wädenswil in the Canton of Zurich, commissioned the French architect Horace Edouard Davinet with the construction of the Grandhotel Giessbach. The elegance of its architecture blended in with the beauty of the surroundings and thus the hotel quickly became a worldwide attraction.
