HOTEL HEIDEN, HEIDEN, APPENZELL
An oasis of relaxation high above Lake Constance bordering Germany and Switzerland, Hotel Heiden is a must-visit for hedonists looking to combine both nature, wellness and gastronomy.
The hotel has been closed for renovations for 3 months and will re-open their doors on April 14th 2022 presenting brand new facilities. An investment of 7,8 million Swiss Francs has made sure that this property stand out from the rest (44 out of 58 rooms have been renovated), but the breathtaking view of Lake Constance remains the same. Style-wise, Hotel Heiden fits the term ‘laidback luxury’ with its nature-inspired interior and materials as well as modern, light-flooded rooms.

DREI-HÄUSER-HOTEL CASPAR, MURI
Storytelling constitute a central part of this hotel which actually consists of two 500 year-old inns and a modern building. A marvellous blend of old and new is what await guests when visiting Hotel Caspar. After two years of careful renovation, the property opened up in March 2022, presenting beautiful design by architect Tilla Theus. The three houses that make up Hotel Caspar are called ‘Wolf’, ‘Adler’ and ‘Oxen’ (wolf, eagle and oxe), leaving us delicate clues as to what we can expect from the property. Nature and gastronomy is at the heart of Caspar that holds 50 rooms in total as well as two gourmet restaurants. One of these relies on fine dining using fire, smoke and charcoal whereas the other one is a modern village restaurant serving hot food all day. Acclaimed chef, Sebastian Rabe, is in charge of both.
