Falstaff Hotel Guide 2026

With the HUUS QUELL, an extraordinary retreat has been created in Appenzellerland that reinterprets Alpine luxury. The five-star superior hotel, which opened in 2025, is the architectural highlight of the APPENZELLER HUUS resort and combines modern architecture with regional craftsmanship. Initiated by Appenzell entrepreneur Jan Schoch, a long-cherished dream was realized here in his home region. Built in traditional knitted construction from local moon wood, the house combines alpine craftsmanship with sustainable construction methods. At its heart is the 2,200 m² QUELL SPA with longevity treatments. In culinary terms, the QUELL RESTAURANT focuses on a modern sharing concept with regional products and international influences.

Warm spring water, beautifully designed retreat spaces and a harmonious lighting concept make wellness at Huus Quell a holistic experience. Every moment is designed to bring body and mind into harmony – quietly, purely and with a profound effect.
