The purpose of the association is to research (history, building investigations or similar), preserve and support (restoration work, maintenance of historic components or similar) Switzerland's historic hotels
Many historic hotels face the prospect of going out of business or being sold as speculative objects (such as conversion into condominiums). We want to prevent that!
The maintenance of listed buildings is very costly, while the needs and demands of hotel guests have changed over time, requiring adjustments to the buildings.
The association’s funds are used to preserve Switzerland’s historic hotels and their significance in terms of architectural history and to position them for the future as attractive hotels.
Historic hotels in Switzerland can apply to the association for support. The applications are reviewed by experts, and any work that is done is carried out and accompanied by specialists. Examples of work that has been done.
