It is not often that a hotel is accepted into the select circle of Leading Hotels of the World before it opens on April 16, 2025. However, the Hotel Huus Quell in Appenzellerland has achieved precisely this feat. No wonder, after all, with its focus on wellness and nature, it offers the perfect combination of luxury and relaxation in Switzerland.

Luxurious Grand opening

Until now, the Lifestyle Wellness Community of the Appenzeller Huus Resort consisted of two very special hotels. While the Huus Bären is in the 3-star superior category, the Huus Löwen welcomes its guests as a 4-star superior hotel. The new addition, Huus Quell, now provides even more luxury. Like its neighbors, the newly built hotel features traditional Swiss timber-knit construction. Extremely elegant, yet ultra-modern and with a focus on sustainability, it is a flagship project of its region.

Owner and Appenzell native Jan Schoch has revived the ancient practice of felling timber according to the moon phases for his Appenzeller Huus Resort. And that's not all: He also rebuilt the value chain for processing this specialty wood in the Appenzellerland. The result is something to be proud of, as the Huus Quell exudes an enormous amount of tranquillity thanks to its solid wood construction.

Elegant retreats

The wellness area promises even more relaxation. It extends over three levels and is 2,200 square meters in size. Inspired by the four elements of mountains, lakes, forest and stone, the spa has been designed as a holistic retreat. Modern diagnostic tools pave the way for highly individualized treatments tailored to guests' needs. Soothing warmth in the sauna, organic materials, earthy colors, water worlds and sound elements: everything is perfectly coordinated here. Yoga, fitness and meditation complete the wellness offer, which is unique in Switzerland.

Naturally, the 30 rooms and suites are equally tranquil. They all have cozy box-spring beds, the finest designer linens from Jakob Schlaepfer St. Gallen, exclusive natural cosmetics, Appenzell mineral and Grander water, a minibar and hiking backpacks for rent. The rooms and suites are currently available in sizes ranging from 24 to 43 square meters. However, more spacious suites will follow toward the end of 2025, boasting an incredible 200 square meters of living space.

Culinary delights

Artful textiles by Jakob Schlaepfer and modern design dominate the Quell restaurant. However, the ingredients of the highest quality are center stage here, masterfully prepared and served in a relaxed atmosphere, according to the motto, "Sharing is Caring". The menu features exotic recipes as well as classics and Swiss originals. Carsten Kypke, a well-traveled expert and Swiss transplant, is responsible for the amazing menu at the Appenzeller Huus Resort.
