About us
Our dedicated and passionate young team in Thun and Wettingen serves the interests of our members and partner hotels alike. We work tirelessly to provide our members with the best possible hotels and rates in Switzerland as well as neighbouring countries and to bring more guests to our partner hotels, not just during low season. Our goal is to ensure Hotelcard members always save money when booking accommodation and therefore always have a reason to travel. Without spending hours on the internet searching for bargains.

The idea behind Hotelcard
The Hotelcard idea was born in 2009, quite literally at the kitchen table, when a young Swiss entrepreneur was thinking of ways to improve the occupancy rate of his father-in-law’s hotel in the Engadin valley. The result was the “half-fare travel pass for hotels” which allowed members to stay at partnering hotels at half the usual rates. The first website was launched the same year and the idea continued to grow and be a huge success to this day. Hotelcard members benefit from exclusive and unbeatable low rates in 600 hotels in Switzerland and neighbouring countries, while hotel partners benefit from better occupancy and income, especially during off-season. No surprise Hotelcard has been able to steadily increase its member base for more than 10 years. Simple and novel, this is a win-win model for everyone.

Join us and you can not only indulge your private passion for sustainable, local travel but also make it part of your work.
