Swiss hoteliers are getting down to business. In cities, business travelers and tourists are almost completely absent. This is also the case in St. Gallen, where operators are now looking for alternative revenue opportunities. The Hotel Einstein rents rooms in a prime location for 50 francs to guests looking for a quiet room for their home office.
Includes WiFi, printer and coffee from a Nespresso machine. Also, mineral water and a private parking lot. When you’re really hungry at lunchtime, you can order a meal directly to your room, like the “St. Galler Tagblatt »reports. The only minor flaw: instead of a comfortable office chair, there is a normal chair at the table.
“The offer does not cover costs”
That doesn’t quite fit in with St. Gallen’s hotel competition. The daily prices are too low, they complain. Also, the offer does not cover costs. Because: After each home office guest, the rooms would have to be cleaned and prepared again.
Michael Vogt confirmed to “St. Galler Tagblatt “:” The price-performance ratio is very favorable, we don’t gain anything from it. ” But he wants to be present in one of the biggest crises in the Swiss hotel industry. “We want to set an example that we are there and open.”
Ten percent utilization
Currently, only between 10 and 15 of the total 113 rooms of the 4-star superior hotel are occupied. Utilization is only ten percent. Vogt now wants to change that with its day rooms for business people. And finally bring life back to the house. (pbe)
