My parents Antonia & Wolfgang made the SCHWANEN what it is today, an organic hotel with an excellent reputation. After my years of travel in New York and San Francisco, I am fortunate enough to be the owner and host at the SCHWANEN to be. My mum and dad are now stepping back and have new responsibilities in the background. I was happy to take over the reins and am enjoying this exciting time.
The Schwanen was built in 2009 with the architect Hermann kaufmann, in the typical Bregenzerwalder style. Reduce to the max was and is our motto. Find out more!
I always set a time limit of 10 years for my apprenticeship and travelling, but in the end it turned out to be 13. I’ve been back in the Bregenzerwald since 2013.

In the SCHWANEN we take care of each other. We take all rules and regulations seriously and implement them with care.
The SCHWANEN is certified by Biohotels as a climate-neutral hotel - we are fortunate to announce that, we are very happy about this certification.

With so many women in the business it requires a gent’s room. No, the name actually comes from the fact that we don’t only have good cooks in the family, but also successful entrepreneurs. The so-called Bregenzerwald Cheese Counts exported their cheese to the entire Austro-Hungarian monarchy. One of them was my great-great-great-grandfather Gallus, who produced the Schwanen for his son Jakob, an ancestor of my mother. As you can see, we are simply THE SWANS, no matter from which perspective you look at it.Â
In the gentleman’s room, I was able to give my signature to an entire room for the first time. We have 1950’s vintage armchairs by Italian designers from the Milan area with casual colours and fabrics. It has become a place for dialogue and inspiration.
