Write hotel history!
With the Patrons’ Clubs of the Friends of Swiss Historic Hotels

  • Hotel Waldhaus Chefs Table 02 1600x613 Kopie

The history of the Swiss hotel industry is one of a kind.
Their most visible evidence is the historic hotels – characterised by architecture, hospitality and lived history.

But many of these hotels are under pressure today. Economic challenges and the struggle to find the next generation of owners mean that their future is uncertain and their structural and cultural quality is at risk.

Together with the Swiss Hotel Heritage Foundation, we are committed to preserving these special places, securing their history and strengthening their future as vibrant hotels.

A community with special access

The patron clubs form a special community of people who share and wish to deepen their enthusiasm for historic hotels.

The clubs offer the opportunity to get involved in a targeted way and at the same time become part of a network of like-minded people – with exclusive insights, shared experiences and personal encounters in selected locations.
