ABOUT
Hotel Eiger is a family run hotel.
In 1892 Johann and Anneliese von Allmen-Feuz started the Hotel Eiger. Several years later Susanna and Adrian Stähli are the 4^th generation managing the Hotel Eiger. Susanna and Adrian live permanently in the Hotel. It was nice that Susanna was right there in the lobby to welcome us and Adrian came to shake hands with us, escorted us to our suite and introduced it to us. That is why we felt warmly welcomed to Hotel Eiger.

We asked her about her hotel, about James Bond and traveling and of course
filming 007 movie "On Her Majesty´s Secret Service" (1969), starring George Lazenby.

Annelis Stähli - von Allmen *

Who: Annelis Stähli-von Allmen (former Hotel Manager)
Where: Cocktail party of Hotel Eiger Mürren, Switzerland
When: 17 July 2014
007 Connection: George Lazenby has stayed here in 2013 during opening of BOND WORLD 007.

Also while filming "On Her Majesty´s Secret Service" (1969) part of the filming crew stayed here and they together with George Lazenby celebrated in Hotel Eiger´s Tächi Bar.

He also played poker in Hotel Eiger for so long against Telly Savalas (Ernst Stavro Blofeld) and lost, so producer Harry Saltzman later asked Savalas to return the money to George Lazenby.

1. How long did you work in Hotel Eiger Mürren?

I grew up in the Hotel Eiger, I started working here full time for the Winter Season 1959/60, from the beginning of December 1959, then my father had a heart problem in January 1960 and I run the hotel with my mother, married in 1964 to Walter Stähli from Brienz and together we run the place till he passed away very suddenly at the age of 62 in 1997, my mother followed the same year being 89, I retired when my son Adrian married Susanna in 2007, I will be 77 at the end of October!

2. Tell us about George Lazenby, filming of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969) and anything that comes to your mind when the cast and crew of OHMSS stayed in Mürren?

George Lazenby stayed at the Palace Hotel, he used to come to the Tächi Bar for dinner on several occasions and I found him a very nice person. As the crew was always busy until about 5 pm, when they were free they needed some dinner, and as our barman Paul Köster, who was actually the barman in the film, was always with the crew on Schilthorn, they very often came to have dinner at the Eiger. The producers Mr. Broccoli and Mr. Saltzman and the director Peter Hunt, often also the Canadian investor of the Schilthornbahn, Bart Morgan were eating in the Tächi Bar which had been turned into a à la carte Restaurant with high quality of food. When the bosses were there, the stuntmen might sit on the table next to them and they were always anxious that they got served just the same! We had two super buffet dinners, one was for the crew to cheer them up, the other was a wedding party and I brought Sandra, my daughter, then aged 6 months, down to introduce her and Diana Rigg offered her some champagne which she seemed to enjoy :) I think this is why her taste of wine is so excellent and she became a wine expert! I have nothing but good memories of the time of the film.

George Lazenby came back to Mürren for the celebration of the 45^th anniversary of the film OHMSS and he stayed with us at the Eiger. It was really nice seeing him again and talking of the film.

3. Who is your favourite James Bond actor? (leading male role)

Maybe Sean Connery – or Roger Moore. I have not seen all the Bond Movies but it’s hard to make a choice between the two.

4. The best Bond movie?

I think OHMSS – as it was filmed in reality, not computer animation – there are so many lovely outdoor scenes. Just blowing up Piz Gloria was filmed in Pinewood studios, Bart Morgan had been invited to witness this – he said it was spectacular.

5. Which is the best place where you have traveled so far?

The best place for me is Hawaii.

6. Which is the place where you would like to visit but have not yet been?

I would like to visit New Zealand one day.

007 Travelers Interview: Hotel Eiger Mürren / Adrian Stähli

007 Travelers visited Hotel Eiger Mürren, and met
Mr. Adrian Stähli. We asked him about his work, about James Bond and traveling.
Who: Adrian Stähli (Hotel Manager)
Where: Hotel Eiger Mürren, Switzerland
When: 17 July 2014
007 Connection: George Lazenby has stayed here in 2013 during opening of BOND WORLD 007.

Also while filming "On Her Majesty´s Secret Service" (1969) part of the filming crew stayed here and they together with George Lazenby celebrated in Hotel Eiger´s Tächi Bar.

He also played poker in Hotel Eiger for so long against Telly Savalas (Ernst Stavro Blofeld) and lost, so producer Harry Saltzman later asked Savalas to return the money to George Lazenby

1. How long have you worked in Hotel Eiger Mürren?
I have been working here for ten years as a Manager, but I grew up here in the hotel and I started to do small things and helped here a bit already when I was four years old.

2. You have a long tradition here in the hotel. Could you tell us a little about history and background?
Yes, I'm glad to do that. My wife Susanne and me are running the hotel and this hotel has been in the family for four generations, so we have already owned the hotel more than hundred years and we have gone through lots of things, like two World Wars, but the family has kept the hotel and brought it up again, so we have now typical summer and winter resort in the middle of the Alps.

3. Who is your favourite James Bond actor? (leading male role)
George Lazenby. Can't be different. He is the only person that I know little bit more as he has been here, so I had a chance to chat a bit with him.

4. So, you were there when the Bond World 007 opened last year (2013)?
Yes, when the Bond World 007 opened, it was a big event for Mürren, obviously for the Schilthorn Railway Company too, but also for Mürren, because we had these celebrities like George Lazenby, who came here to stay in the hotel and he stayed here for about three nights and we organized - in car-free resort -a Rolls Royce to go from A to B. But this was a very funny story to drive in the middle of the car-free village with George Lazenby in a Rolls Royce. It was quite amazing.

5. Did he stay in the Bond suite and what is the story behind the suite?
Unfortunately not, no. Actually we have this new Bond suite, which has only been in existence since September last year. (2013) It is a really new thing, we designed it beacause we have seen that there is quite a strong demand for any Bond story, we have had one suite where we knew that the layout would be very special one and we decided to make a Bond suite. It has been very popular since we put it on the internet December last year (2013) and it has been good and we have had lots of Bond friends here and they know each other and if somebody has stayed in the suite, they tell others.

Published with permission of Adrian Stähli

6. The best Bond movie?
They are all good but I think the best Bond movie is "On Her Majesty´s Secret Service" (1969) since it is related to Mürren and to my place obviously, and I have the strongest feelings about it, for sure.

7. Which is the best place where you have traveled so far?
Probably Bali, actually. We always have November very death month and it is very difficult to travel in Europe. November is a very grey month. We want to travel little bit further, we had a very nice time in Bali.

8. Which is the place where you would like to visit but have not yet been?
If only one place, I would like to go to Nepal because I have friends who have been there and they told about the landscape and the people.
