Hôtel Bodenhaus (Splügen, Switzerland)

The hotel Bodenhaus, one of the oldest and most traditional hotels in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, was erected in 1722 as an accommodation for caravans. At that time, the Splügen Pass ranked as one of the most important trade routes through the Alps, while Splügen and in particular the large square in front of the Bodenhaus used to be important exchange points for goods in transit. Almost 200 years ago, the Bodenhaus was transformed into a proper hotel. Its guest books contain well-known names including those of Friedrich Nietzsche and William Turner. In recent years, the Hotel Bodenhaus has been carefully renovated and restored. Today it offers 26 comfortable rooms with a bathtube or a shower. A diversified, light and creative cuisine with gourmet menus from Switzerland, Italy and Austria is served in it\'s three restaurants. An indoor pool and a sauna as well as a large sun terrace offer relaxation after hiking or skiing for the guests of Hotel Bodenhaus.
