The hotel stands in the Schwendetal, near the Alpstein mountains. The detached holiday home is located in the middle of the village of Appenzell, in a central yet quiet location. The monastery of Appenzell is a station on the Way of St James and the Jerusalemweg. The alpine church feasts in Plattenbödeli and Bollenwees, the Feast of Mary of the Snow on Meglisalp, the masses at the pilgrimage church in Ahorn, the commemoration of Brother Klaus on Seealp and the Feast of St James on Kronberg are attended also by many devout mountain hikers. In the Alpstein region there is a cantonal flight ban for unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones and, for example, glider models.

“In my opinion, this is a welcoming family-run hotel that distinguishes itself through regional culinary experiences. I noted its location is central to Appenzell's attractions, especially Landsgemeinde Square. The in-house bakery and unique regional decor stood out, crafting a truly local experience for every guest.”
