Swiss Historic Hotels brings together the most beautiful historic hotels in Switzerland. Each of the 61 hotels is full of history and stories - these are now told in a new book. A guide for travel enthusiasts and time travellers.
The Swiss Historic Hotels are unique contemporary witnesses, in whose patina the centuries live on: from the bustling mule station on the historic trade route to the lonely monastery with its blooming garden to the majestic Grand Hotel in front of the mighty Alpine panorama, each hotel tells its own exciting story.
Captivating stories from the hotels have been researched and written by the resourceful sleuths at Transhelvetica. The authors describe little anecdotes and formative events relating to the historic hotels, their region and the people behind them.
The stories are accompanied by stylish photographs by Juliette Chrétien, which show the unique architecture, the atmospheric details and the often picturesque surroundings of the hotels with analogue photographs.
The book presents all Swiss Historic Hotels chronologically in the order in which they were built and offers tips for excursions to each hotel for a stay on site. Fascinating details and episodes from the hotel stories bring the history of Switzerland and tourism to life. Varied walks and tourist itineraries link the hotels so that you can visit them all on an enjoyable journey.
