Book «Hotelgeschichten»

The Swiss Historic Hotels are unique witnesses of time, in whose patina the centuries continue to live: from the bustling mule station on the historic trade route to the lonely monastery with the blooming garden to the majestic grand hotel in front of the mighty alpine panorama, each house tells its own exciting story.

Fascinating details and episodes from the hotel stories make Swiss national and tourism history come alive. Varied hikes and tourist travel routes connect the hotels, so that one can visit all the houses on an enjoyable journey.

Captivating stories from the hotels were researched and written by the keen noses of Transhelvetica. The authors describe small anecdotes and formative events surrounding the historic houses, their region, and the people behind them.

The stories are accompanied by stylish photographs by Juliette Chrétien, which showcase the unique architecture, atmospheric details, and often picturesque surroundings of the hotels with analog photographed images.
