Seminar hotels

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.

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 the 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", Welcome and come again!

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, while the smell of wood reminds oneself of the numerous campfires one had when growing up.

Romantic hours are something very special in life, and this time should be enjoyed. At the Romantik-Hotel Säntis, guests can expect cuisine that has been awarded 14 Gault Millau points and the first-class service that goes with it. In addition, we offer 37 wonderfully furnished guest rooms with bathrooms, a considerable range of conference and seminar facilities as well as banquet rooms for up to 200 people.

This family-run guesthouse is surrounded by woods, around 4km from the train station in Weissbad and reachable via a paved road. The cosy lounge and romantic four-poster beds are another good reason to stay here. Short walks to the Leuenfall Waterfall and the Ahornkapelle Chapel. The hotel is served by PubliCar.
