Multilingual staff (English, German, French) add a friendly, local touch.

Expect quiet garden mornings from many rooms, pet-friendly stays, elevator access and on-site parking (self-parking subject to charges). Practical extras include laundry and ironing services and a safe-deposit box for peace of mind.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, a safe deposit box and tour/ticket assistance—handy for short business trips or planners on the go.
