The Hotel is filled with 100-year old artifacts, like this old phone that was actually used in the hotel:

Grindelwald is a ski village in what's known as the Bernese Oberland region. It lies embedded in a welcoming and green hollow, surrounded by a commanding mountainscape with the Eiger north face and the Wetterhorn.
