The taste of the new Kaiserhaus in Bern

Like moons, oversized round paper lamps hang from the ceiling. The concrete wall is adorned with a minimalist relief. Customized boxes await their moment, while behind the coffee bar the barista prepares espresso on a striking, futuristic machine. This is the new Kaiser Bar, which serves as a gateway to the entire Kaiserhaus. The venue is set to open its doors on April 10, 2026. Over the course of seven years, the Swiss National Bank – owner of the six interconnected buildings at Marktgasse 37/41 and Amtshausgasse – has overseen its transformation. Some of the rooms are filled with handicrafts by 60 Bernese manufacturers and producers.
