The two-star Sorell Hotel Arabelle is just a short walk from the main station and a few steps from Bern's delightful old town. The hotel has excellent public transport connections. There are a number of interesting sights to choose from, all within a few minutes' walk of the hotel: these include the Bundeshaus Bern (federal parliament building) with its restful promenade, the Barengraben (''Bear Pit''), the Munster (cathedral) and the Zytglogge-Turm (historic clock tower). For both shopping and entertainment, the picturesque old town offers a wide range of opportunities: clothes and fashion stores, furniture and designer boutiques, hairdressing salons, good restaurants, exclusive bars and more.
