The hotel was founded in 1857 and it has 150-year history and it was known as “Hotel Fetzer” or “Zähringerhof” in the 18th century and received its current name in 1859. In 1911 the Hotel Schweizerhof was torn down, rebuilt and festively reopened in July 1913. In the following years the hotel was renovated repeatedly. In 2005 the hotel was closed for extensive refurbishments. Later, after two years (2009 - 2011) of extensive renovations the hotel shines again in grand style. The Hotel Schweizerhof is a luxurious symbiosis of the traditional and the modern, with contemporary design, a first-class conference center and superb hospitality. Owner: Katara Hospitality.
