Love at second sight? đź‘€
10.11.2023

In today's edition, we will introduce you to some hotels that may not immediately catch one's attention among the search results, but which are more than worth a visit. These hotels distinguish themselves not by the signature of a renowned architect or the comfort of a luxury hotel, but by their unique atmosphere, warm hospitality and attention to detail. See for yourself:
1. Stump's Alpenrose in Toggenburg
7 mountains - 7 hosts - 7 ways to welcome you: Located in the former sawmill in Wildhaus amidst the idyllic Toggenburg. Stump's Alpenrose is now a charming country hotel with over 100 years of family tradition and top-notch personal service.

This typically Swiss hotel lies just 200m from the picturesque Schwendi lake and boasts stunning views of the Säntis mountain. In addition to the dreamlike location, this country hotel scores with a small but fine wellness area and its regional cuisine, in which the motto "Preservatives, conservatives and artificial flavours get a no-no at the Alpenrose!" applies.

"Behind the moon to the left" - as St. Antönien describes itself - surrounded by a breathtaking mountain backdrop, you will find yet another hidden hotel gem: the boutique Hotel Madrisajoch in the small Walser village of St. Antönien in Prättigau. A perfect starting point for hikes, biking and ski trips in the Rätikon region.

In addition to delicious regional specialities and Mond beer from their own production, guests can indulge themselves in the wellness area. The lovingly designed wellness grotto featuring a pine wood sauna, a physiotherapy cabin and a relaxation room is a real eye-catcher!

Closing time: Hotel Madrisajoch will be closed from 1 November to 8 December 2023.

4. Gasthaus zum Trauben in Thurgau
The Gasthaus zum Trauben is a true piece of Thurgauer history: this is where the freedom of the canton was proclaimed in 1798. The nearly 500-year-old building stands right on Weinfelden's town hall square and, even after its latest renovation, has retained its charm and elegance throughout the centuries.

Glimpses of the past can also be sensed in the 14 newly renovated rooms. Be it through the mighty Bollenstein walls or the centuries-old wooden beams. Guests can indulge in culinary delights in the hotel's own restaurant, in the wine cellar and on the hotel terrace.

Discover new places far away from mass tourism

A great thing for hotels
“As a hotelier, I appreciate the model. Unlike other booking portals, HotelCard does not take commission on bookings. HotelCard members are welcome guests at our hotel and are a real asset, especially in the low season”

Win-win situation for all involved
"I would like to thank the whole HotelCard team for their great commitment. In the meantime, our children no longer live at home and we use the HotelCard offer very often for short holidays. A great thing and I think it really is a win-win situation for everyone. Thank you very much and have fun and success searching and finding nice partner hotels. See you in the next inspiring newsletter."
