Swiss Historic Hotels and Lodgings

Back in 1788, this romantic inn was one of Switzerland’s first post offices and lodged famous guests such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Hans Christian Andersen. Numerous antiques recall the halcyon days of mail-coach travel over the Gotthard Pass. The hotel's extensive grounds, its rooms with their period furniture and the cosy dining room have a nostalgic appeal all of their own.

Certified by ICOMOS

2009 Ausgezeichnet «für die fachgerechte Restaurierung des vollständig erhaltenen Bestandes qualitätsvoller Hotelmöbel aus allen Epochen des Betriebes.» Bereits 1357 wird in einer Urkunde «das Haus Werners, Wirt von Amsteg, am Beginn der Steigung zum Gotthardpass» erwähnt. Man nimmt an, dass damit das Hotel Sternen gemeint ist, in dem 1775 auch Goethe einkehrte. Das Wirtshaus wurde 1788 durch einen Brand zerstört und umgehend wieder aufgebaut. 1830 entstand der rückseitige Anbau. Mit der Einrichtung eines der ersten Postbüros der Schweiz an der Gotthardstrasse wurde der «Sternen» 1850 zum Hotel Stern & Post und zu einer gerne genutzten Herberge für die Reisenden. 1946/47 wurden Saal und Restaurant im Erdgeschoss sowie Ein- und Aufgang neu gestaltet, 1956/57 erhielt das Hotel einen Saal gegen den Garten. Bei der letzten Renovation 2007/08 wurden die einzelnen Räume und das Mobiliar grundsätzlich in ihrem jüngsten Stil restauriert, womit die bewegte Geschichte des Hauses erlebbar wird.
