With its unrivalled location above Lake Murten, our hotel offers breathtaking views that elevate each visit into an unforgettable experience. We provide our guests with an attentive dining experience at our panoramic restaurant. During the warmer months, we open the large windows that overlook the lake and courtyard to welcome the revitalising alpine air inside. The conservatory is fully accessible for wheelchairs and also offers a fantastic view of the lake. You can also relax and nourish your mind in our heritage room ‘Emmas Zeit’, where you can view paintings, sculptures, design objects and books on art from different family collections. The room also provides a special ambience for the exclusive events that we hold here.
