Garden Hotels Switzerland, with the support of Innotour and in close cooperation with the Swiss Sculpture Triennial Foundation (Bad Ragartz), is launching an innovative cultural tourism project. Starting in spring 2026, the first contemporary works by national artists will be exhibited in the gardens of the Garden Hotels Switzerland – as decentralized open-air galleries that connect art, gardens, and hospitality in a new way.

The first edition of Art Garden Hotels 2026 has officially launched with two atmospheric events on Lake Geneva and in the Emmental region. Representatives from tourism, culture, business, and hospitality, along with numerous artists and media, celebrated the kick-off of a project unique across Switzerland, combining art, nature, and hospitality.

From April to November, the Art Garden Hotels exhibition will take place for the first time in the gardens of the Garden Hotels Switzerland. Over 100 works by 30 renowned artists will be presented in the 21 hotels.

In spring 2026, hotel gardens will transform into walk-through galleries. Under the title "Art Garden Hotels," 21 establishments across all regions of Switzerland will showcase artworks by renowned Swiss artists in their park grounds.

The artworks of Sonja Riemer revolve around the human condition. They explore inner states, memories, change, and the question of how we position ourselves in a changing world. Her works are both powerful and understated. She creates sculptures and paintings that don't aim for immediate impact, but rather for atmosphere and emotional depth.

In summer 2026, Schatzalp, above Davos, will transform into an open workshop for art, encounters, and collaborative construction. Together with the artist collective PIALETO, as part of the Art Garden Hotels initiative, a walk-in light sculpture in the shape of a giant cat will be created there. Approximately 4 x 7 meters in size, situated amidst the Davos mountains and directly in front of the historic Berghotel Schatzalp.
And the best part: Here, you don't just watch; you actively participate in the building process.
