In the Hotel Murtenhof & Krone we aim to continually optimize our business, not only commercially but also for the benefit of our guests:
We want our customers to feel the warmth and commitment of our team.
We want our employees to be able to count on a sense of stability and continuity.
We expect our suppliers to give us what we also offer them: flexibility. In return we offer them the opportunity to build a long-term working relationship with attractive sales potential.
These things are important to us:
Independence
Acknowledgement
Quality control
Openness
Courage to make changes
Friendliness
Expertise
Creativity
Being different
Prospects and new horizons

But most important to us are the people around us. We always try to improve for them. For example, we give our guests a small Christmas gift, we offer our staff special treats and we always greet our suppliers with a smile and a few kind words.
