Boutique Hotel Restaurant Krone Regensberg
Medieval exterior meets spare, modernist interiors — whitewashed walls, rich larch and spruce wood, Aesop toiletries, freestanding bathtubs. Bohemian-chic with a serious kitchen attached. Small, quiet, and deliberately unhurried.
The hotel only operates Tuesday through Saturday — plan around this carefully
Why It Matters
2 Michelin Keys. Member of Relais & Châteaux. The restaurant Taverne holds a Michelin plate (rated €€€) for modern, season-driven cuisine. The only hotel in a car-free medieval village of under 500 people, with panoramic Alpine views that are genuinely hard to replicate anywhere near Zurich.
Nine rooms inside a meticulously restored medieval castle complex crowning the hilltop village of Regensberg — population 489, give or take. The timbered exterior has been preserved exactly as history left it; the interiors, redesigned after a fire by a family architect, are a clean modernist surprise. It's been an inn for the better part of 800 years, and the Schäfer family has run it for decades with the same intimate, come-home-to-friends philosophy.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Room
From CHF280 / nightLarger than the Superior, with a warm, dark colour palette and views of village life below. The aesthetic leans into richly figured wood and earthy tones. Two variants available — both work well for couples who want something more spacious than the Superior without going full suite.
Double
Junior Suite Bergblick
From CHF310 / nightThe Bergblick (mountain view) junior suite is clad entirely in larch wood with a picture window framing the Alps. The bathroom feels like stepping into clear, still water. If the view is your priority, this is the room to book.
Double
Junior Suite Oberburg
From CHF310 / nightThe Oberburg suite feels like a stage set from another century — lime-washed walls in the purist traditional style, with the original bathroom creatively integrated into the living space rather than hidden away. Art lovers and theatre people tend to gravitate here.
Double
Suite Eugen
From CHF460 / nightThe Eugen suite sits in the oldest, listed part of the building. Same generous proportions as the Turm suite — sofa bed, freestanding bathtub, flat-screen TV, small writing desk — but with the added atmosphere of being inside a genuinely historic structure.
DoubleSuite Turm
From CHF460 / nightNamed for the medieval tower it overlooks, the Turm suite is the most family-friendly option — lofty ceilings, combined living and sleeping area clad in spruce wood, sofa bed for children, and a freestanding deep-soak bathtub. The most generous suite in terms of space and natural materials.
Double
Superior Room
From CHF250 / nightThe entry-level room sits under the eaves, looking out over the village alleyway (Gässli). Decorated in pale colours with whitewashed floors and walls in the traditional manner. Simple, elegant, and genuinely charming rather than stripped-back from necessity.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The village of Regensberg, founded in 1244, is entirely walkable and car-free. The rose gardens, the medieval castle tower, and the deepest well in Switzerland are all within a few minutes' stroll from the hotel. Best done early morning or on full-moon evenings.
The Krone has dedicated spaces for private celebrations and corporate conferences — the Kronensaal and garden terraces. These are available for groups and can be booked separately from a standard hotel stay.
The hotel sits in the middle of the vineyards on the slopes of the Jura Mountains. Walking trails through the surrounding vines are accessible directly from the village — especially atmospheric in autumn harvest season.
