The Neuchâtel region offers a kind of variety that’s rare in such a compact area. In just a short drive or train ride, you can go from a lakeside promenade to a quiet valley, from a family-run vineyard to a scenic ridge walk, from a contemporary art space to an underground mine. It’s not a region that reveals itself all at once. It unfolds slowly, sometimes unexpectedly – and that’s part of its charm.
For travellers looking for a hotel in the Neuchâtel region, the question isn’t only where to sleep, but where to stay in order to really make the most of what’s around: nature, culture, food, and calm.
Hôtel Beaulac Neuchâtel welcomes guests all year round for a comfortable and well-placed stay. Book your room today.

From the lake to the Jura: plenty to experience, close together
The Lake of Neuchâtel is where most people begin. You can walk along the shoreline, cycle from one village to another, or take a quiet cruise across the water. The stretch from Serrières beach to the main port is especially nice – easy, flat, and enjoyable at any time of year.
But head inland for just a few minutes, and things change. The Val-de-Travers is less than half an hour away by train. Many visitors go there to hike up to the Creux du Van, a dramatic limestone amphitheatre overlooking the valley. Others visit the Asphalt Mines, stop by the Maison de l’Absinthe, or have lunch in a quiet mountain inn. Families enjoy the local tourist train, and the many scenic paths accessible without too much effort.
Further north, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle tell a different story – the region’s deep connection to watchmaking. Here, the city layouts are designed to let in the light. Visitors explore museums and workshops, and meet people who still build watches by hand, just as their grandparents did.
On the higher ground, the Jura ridges stretch towards the horizon. Whether it’s walking near La Vue-des-Alpes, breathing in the air above Les Ponts-de-Martel, or cycling the trails around Le Chasseron, it’s all reachable within an hour – no rush, no stress.
And throughout the canton, the vineyards are never far away. In Cressier, Auvernier or Saint-Blaise, local winemakers open their doors with ease. Their Pinot Noir and unfiltered white wines are served without ceremony – just honestly and well.
A hotel with lake views – Hôtel Beaulac
If your idea of a good trip includes flexibility and comfort, staying in Neuchâtel itself is often the best decision. Among the hotels in the region, Hôtel Beaulac stands out for its location, quality, and quiet atmosphere.
Right by the lake and just a few minutes from the old town, it allows you to explore on foot or by public transport. The train station is close, and so are the Saturday market, the castle, the local shops and restaurants.
Rooms are bright, some with balconies, others with views over the lake, the rooftops, or the harbour. The furniture is modern and subtle – nothing flashy, just well thought out. Downstairs, the Lake Side Restaurant serves dishes with a regional influence, and the rooftop bar has become a favourite spot for both guests and locals.
It’s not a hotel that tries too hard. Instead, it offers space, calm, and a quiet sense of style. It’s the kind of place people return to after a walk, a tasting, or simply a peaceful day on the water.
