Amid the Corona crisis, where tourism is struggling with massive losses in sales, a new organization wants to save historic hotels in Switzerland. And thus prevent them from falling into the hands of the “enemy”: foreign investors. Investors have nothing left for foreign speculators buying up the Swiss hotel industry, as CH Media documents report.
This historic home is up for grabs: the Grand Hôtel Sonnenberg on Seelisberg UR. The hotel has had an eventful history. It was created in 1875. It has belonged to a yogi movement since 1972. Now it has become known: the historic hotel near Rütliwiese is for sale. Fears immediately arise that powerful foreign investors will snatch the pearl. As you did with the Waldhaus of Flims GR.
Purchase price: 27.5 million francs
Franz-Xaver Leonhardt runs the Krafft hotel and restaurant group in Basel. Recently, Historic Hotel AG was registered in the commercial register with a share capital of more than 250,000 Swiss francs. The AG’s goal: to avoid further losses of historic Swiss hotels. The company intends to acquire historic hotels with immediate effect. According to the report, there should still be 60 of them.
“In this way, houses that are for sale can be eliminated from international speculation, and the historical structure of the building is also secured,” he says. The idea of establishing such an organization came about five years ago after the Hotel Waldhaus was sold to Americans. The organization lives off the donations of powerful supporters. They must have a lot on the high edge. The Grand Hôtel Sonnenberg costs 27.5 million Swiss francs. (pbe)
