hospitality - a traditional hotel with a personal, family atmosphere. This charming hotel has been managed by the family Engel for 5 generations and represents the oldest family business in Interlaken (since 1847). The guests enjoy a splendid view of the well-maintained hotel garden, the castle\'s park and both churches, as well as the world-famous ?Jungfrau\". The majority of rooms are three star standard. They are decorated in a more rustic style and are in very good condition. The bathrooms are in very good condition too. The exterior of the hotel is traditional and of chalet type architecture which is very well maintained. The small lobby is traditional in style with lots of wooden touches. The hotel comes highly recommended.

Then right from the opening shot that tracks down from the bridge over the canal Saint Martin and along the side ... ...of a soft spot for Hotel du Nord. It is firmly placed in the traditional of French cinema of the thirties. Like his contemporaries, Renoir et al, the director Marcel Carne made films that were considered to be part of the poetic-realism (or at least are now known as) movement that was inspired as much by cinema as Carne being a member of a left wing political party heavily influenced by Communism.
