Let yourself be transported back to a bygone era,
take a journey through time and experience the
history of yesteryear, all without sacrificing modern
conveniences. The Swiss Historic Hotels will enchant
you with the charms of days long past and architec-
tural opulence: romantic pleasure palaces, splendid
palazzi, venerable mountain hospices in the most
beautiful spots in Switzerland. At most of these dream
addresses, your hosts see it as their personal respon-
sibility to provide for your well-being. Some of these
establishments have been run by the same family for
five generations, and all of them have plenty of stories
to tell from their rich past. There are tales of kings and
queens, smugglers and pilgrims, as well as romantic
adventures and legends. Take a holiday in the world
of yesteryear and gain some inspiration for the future.
