  • Arbon gets two b-smart hotels

    Arbon gets two b-smart hotels

    B_smart selection, with locations in Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland, will become the new operator of the Müllers self check-in hotel in Arbon and will also open another self check-in hotel. The Müllers brand is to remain, according to Heinrich Toldo, CEO of b_smart selection, who was quoted in an announcement about the change of operator.

    By continuing to operate the Müllers at the same time as the additional new hotel building, the demand for overnight stays in the canton of Thurgau can be served with two different accommodation options in the future.

    Hotel operations at the new b_smart hotel Arbon are scheduled to start in August 2023. The new hotel building was built within walking distance of the Müllers and offers 63 rooms and suites as well as a restaurant and bar. On the top floor, guests can use a fitness and wellness area with a view over Lake Constance.

    The hotel takeover does not involve any changes for guests. For existing and new bookings, coffee to go is included as before, breakfast and other catering must be organised elsewhere. The Schifflände Bar on the ground floor, operated by Schifflände GmbH, will remain open, it says.

    The change of operator of the Hotel Müllers in Arbon has been announced for 1 May. The cooperation between Hotel Müllers and b_smart services AG has already existed since the reopening in autumn 2022, it says. Since then, the service provider for accommodation businesses based in Liechtenstein has been handling the booking management and is responsible for 24-hour availability.

    Silvio Denz and Peter Spuhler acquire the Hotel Florhof

    In a press release , the Lalique Group has informed about the purchase of the Hotel Florhof by shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Directors Silvio Denz and the entrepreneur and CEO ad interim of Stadler Rail , Peter Spuhler . The new owners want to continue the historic building as the Lalique Hotel-Restaurant under the name Villa Florhof.

    After several months of renovation, 15 suites and hotel rooms are planned on the upper floors, a restaurant on the first floor and a bar with terrace, lounge and smoking room as a central meeting place on the ground floor. The historic vaulted wine cellar is also to be continued as the foundation of the Florhof. The name of the villa evokes memories of silk production and silk trading, which flourished in the area in the 16th century.

    For the Spuhler quoted in the media release, the purchase is an affair of the heart. The property is predestined for the design of a unique hotel environment that "combines tradition and future and meets all the requirements of upscale hospitality". Denz emphasizes the great potential of the Villa Florhof, which has been used as a hotel since 1908, as a "hotel-restaurant for the people of Zurich and visitors from all over the world".

    The owners, who have owned the house for almost 100 years, have announced that operations will end at the end of July 2022. Lalique Group SA will be the new tenant and will be responsible for ongoing operations.
