We bid farewell to a long-standing member hotel that has been with us for many years. At the same time, we are delighted to welcome three new Garden Hotels – special places that enrich our network with fresh ideas, new gardens, and warm hospitality.
Arrivederci Villa Novecento
After 16 years of warm hospitality, a special chapter comes to an end: At the end of October, the Villa Novecento in Locarno ceased operations, and the future of the property is currently still uncertain. What remains are numerous beautiful encounters, valuable memories, and the unique atmosphere of this exceptional property. Our thanks go to Susan Engelhard Herdeg, her family, and the entire team – we wish them all the best for their future endeavors.
A new place of tranquility: Klosterhotel Kreuz in Mariastein
Nestled in the tranquil landscape of Mariastein, the Klosterhotel Kreuz invites guests to relaxation, inspiration, and special getaways. The historic building, which dates back to a 17th-century pilgrim's hostel, today combines lovingly preserved history with modern comfort. The heart of the grounds is the impressive medicinal and herb garden with around 200 plant species, which has been cultivated and continuously developed since the 1990s. Klosterhotel Kreuz is a place where nature, hospitality, and centuries-old tradition tangibly come together.
Welcome to the Auberge Aux 4 Vents
The Auberge Aux 4 Vents in Granges-Paccot welcomes its guests to a historic 18th-century manor house and offers seven lovingly designed rooms as well as a separate annex for families and groups of friends. The surroundings are characterized by centuries-old trees, artistic sculptures, and a blooming park with a French garden, orchard, and woodland. The terrace and the picturesque paths through the park invite guests to relaxing moments and strolls. From here, a magnificent view of Fribourg, the cathedral, and the Pre-Alps unfolds.
Rediscover: Gasthaus Traube
The Boutique Hotel Traube in Buchs, SG combines the charm of a traditional inn with the elegant lightness of a modern hideaway. Inside, Scandinavian simplicity, high-quality materials, and characterful unique pieces create a warm, timeless atmosphere. The special garden, with hidden seating by the water feature and a rose garden, forms a small, self-contained world, inviting moments of relaxation. The experience is complemented by fine, regionally inspired cuisine and an impressive wine collection with over 1,100 carefully selected vintages.
