Typical Swiss Hotels
29.06.2023
What could be nicer than being warmly welcomed by your hosts, and getting advice from locals while tasting specialities from the nearby farm?
These small, cosy hotels have won us over! These five typically Swiss partner hotels will delight you not only for their incomparable charm, but also for their excellent value for money.
Immerse yourself in the idyllic setting of the Sertig valley at 1860 m above sea level. With its rural flair, the Hotel Walserhuus Sertig blends perfectly into the magnificent mountain landscape. Both the rooms and the small lounge made of pinewood feel particularly cosy. The hotel, close to Davos, is located in a quiet, idyllic valley ideal for recharging your batteries.

2. The Weingarten inn in Affoltern am Albis
The Gasthof Weingarten in Affoltern is located on the sunny side of the Albis mountain range. This half-timbered house and garden, built in 1820, has been run for almost 40 years by the second generation of the Häberling family and is renowned for its excellent cuisine and pizzas. Affoltern is the perfect starting point for hikes along the Albis mountain range or into the Sihlwald wildlife park. The nearby Lake Türler is a great place to refresh yourself.

3. Hotel Appenberg in the Emmental
The family-run hotel Appenberg in the Emmental boasts 12 historic buildings. The oldest dates back to 1777. In the "Kuhstall" and "Söistall" restaurants, you can enjoy traditional Swiss cuisine and regional specialities. Most products come from the surrounding farms.

4. Hotel Sternen in Toggenburg
The traditional Hotel Sternen is located in Unterwasser, nestled in the rolling Toggenburg countryside. There are no fewer than three restaurants here: Arven, Schwinger and Toggenburgerstube. The Illtios-Chäserugg ski lift is just 300 metres away, and the famous Thur waterfalls are just 1 km away. Between Alpstein and the seven Churfirsten, hikers and nature lovers alike are guaranteed to find something suitable!

5. Hotel Wasserfall in La Gruyère region
Jaun, the only German-speaking village in the French-speaking district of La Gruyère, lies at the foot of the Gastlosen mountain range. Just opposite to the mystical Jaun waterfall stands the hotel of the same name, boasting a rustic charm. The hotel's young team is dedicated to its guests and focuses on providing regional products and respecting traditions. The hotel's rooms are real gems, newly renovated and clad in wood.

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."
