Jugendstilhotel Paxmontana

Everything was perfect. The location is beautiful, the historic hotel nicely maintained and the service friendly. Our two half-board dinners were delicious and prices are reasonable. We strongly recommend this secluded hide-away with a strong link to swiss early history.

My wife and I had our wedding here. The preperations went off without a hitch, we got asked the right questions and got excellent recommendations. The wedding itself was perfect! The scenery was beautiful, all our guests enjoyed the fine dinner and the historic room was wonderful to dance in. We spent the night at Paxmontana afterwards and had a lovely breakfast that morning. Simply an amazing experience all in all!

It is a late 19th century hotel that has kept all of its beautiful decorations and fin de siècle chique. The rooms are simple but comfortable and well furnished. But their main attraction is the view! Whether you are on the front or the back of the hotel, the views are equally spectacular. There are plenty of good hikes nearby (of different levels of intensity) and relaxing on the terrace looking at the mountains afterwards beats the comfort of any spa. The breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of Swiss mountain cheeses, home made muesli with ditto fruit compote. Dinner was very good with many local specialities. We didn't know the hotel, but certainly hope to return, soon!

This is a "Belle-époque"-Hotel built in 1896, painstakingly restored to its original state. We stayed there before COVID in July 2020 with two friends. We had booked two twin-bed rooms with historical furniture and balcony. The rooms were charmingly old-fashioned with a breathtaking view, but bathrooms were quite modern. Everything clean. No television (we appreciated), WiFi functioning. The dinner was excellent and served in style, as was the breakfeast. The staff consisted mostly of friendly young people, to conclude from their language obviously recruited from the region. All of them seemed to be proud to serve in this local monument and we felt that we were taken care of kindly and personally. Afternoon tea is served on the sunny terrace. The surroundings are quiet, sleep excellent. The 500-year old house of Saint Nikolaus von Flüe is reached in 5 Minutes by foot, and his hermitage where he lived for decades without food is in a steep canyon behind the hotel, 15 Minutes by foot. Its quite clear that this old hotel has rooms of uneven quality and size. Some have historical furniture, some have modern furniture. Probably one should be prudent not to take the cheapest rooms.
