True hospitality consists of giving the best of yourself to your guests.
The personal touch
The Hotel Schranz may be a modern four-star hotel, but if you look closely you will find a few elements indicating the long and distinguised history of our building. A good example is the wood panelling in the dining room, which was originally in a different building and transferred to the new hotel when it was built. Many other historical everyday items from earlier times have now found their place as very special accessories in the hotel.

Then and now
The origins of the Hotel Schranz are most likely found in a guesthouse located on the site where our hotel stands today. The earliest mention of an inn on this site is from 1780.
"We live in a beautiful part of the world." This was a sentiment shared by Eugen Schranz when he inherited his parents’ farm, including a traditional farmhouse which he converted in the 1950s and 1960s together with his father Leo Schranz to create the Hotel Schranz.
The cows and pigs were moved to a new building. Where the barn had once stood, Eugen built with his bare hands the first part of what would later become the Hotel Schranz. The family then moved from the original farmhouse building into a new one – and their former home was also torn down by Eugen to make way for the second part of his project. Once all the building work had been completed, Eugen and his wife Erna welcomed their first guests to what was known at the time as the Frühstückspension Schranz.
New look, same values. Our hotel has continued to grow and improve over the years without losing sight of the principles and values which have shaped it since the start.
