Seminar hotels

Where tradition and design merge.

Centuries-old knitted walls and rustic strap floors bear witness to the house's eventful history. Guests were received in the Bären, in the middle of Appenzellerland, as early as the 18th century. The completely renovated boutique hotel includes a restaurant, bar, smokers' lounge, wine cellar, seminar room, terrace, sauna oasis and 25 rooms and suites. The cosy "Appenzeller Chic", with authentic design and playful details, runs like a red thread through all hotel areas. The crackling of the fireplace, the splashing of the fountain, fine food in the glass and exquisite food on the plate: at the Bären, old friendships are cultivated and new ones are made. "Chönd zonis"

The cosy wellness area on the top floor has a new attraction. The wood-fired Skargards hot tub is an original Swedish outdoor leisure activity. Up to five people can reserve the hot tub or use it spontaneously on request. Only the crackling of the logs can be heard and there is a smell in the clear Appenzell air reminiscent of childhood campfires.
 

The Maria der Engel Appenzell Monastery Foundation strives to continue the former monastery as a place of Christian spirituality and contemplative tranquility and to preserve the Franciscan spirit of simplicity. We cultivate an atmosphere of monastic silence and deliberately avoid noisy occasions or commercial events.

The quiet, simple hostel has 19 rooms in three categories. The bathrooms are on each floor. Bedding and towels are provided. On request breakfast is available and costs CHF 10.^_ per person.

The furnishings of the rooms are simple and neat, equipment and infrastructure are ordinary.
