Hotel Ibis Trois Lacs Neuchâtel Thielle: the metamorphosis continues |
|
|
 After the restaurant, the bar, the reception and the lobby, the Ibis Trois Lacs hotel continues its transformation. Thirty of its 60 rooms have already been completely renovated. "The renovation of the remaining 30 rooms has been scheduled for the beginning of 2011" said the hotel's manager, Jean-Pierre Gilliéron, in the course of a press conference.
The poppy-red theme has been retained. The spruced up rooms, freshly coated in warm colours, have all the usual commodities: television, telephone, internet. There is a separate bathroom and a large bed. In fact, everything is large in this resurrected Ibis: "The size of the rooms is that of a Novotel, which is what this building previously was. We preferred a more economic model because there is a scarcity of rooms in this price-range in the Neuchâtel canton." clarified Jean-Pierre Gilliéron. Another legacy of the Novotel period deserves mention: the swimming pool is surrounded by a vast garden. With a tempting quality-to-price ratio, single or double rooms can be had for 119 CHF per night on weekdays and 99 CHF on weekends.

Article published in "Charming Bed & Breakfasts in Switzerland"
 A stay at Maison DuBois takes you back to the history of Swiss watchmaking. The house, which dates back to the eighteenth century, once belonged to a company that used to manufacture watches on the workbench that now carries the breakfast buffet. Céline Jeanneret has breathed new life into the place, hosting business travellers, tourists and locals who drop by for tea or brunch. She loves to receive guests, and has turned her passion into a full time occupation. Her five guest rooms have unparalleled charm. Featuring a minimalist, nostalgic, baroque or exotic touch, they all offer cosy personalized comfort at a very reasonable price.

Les Vieux-Toits: absolute cocooning |
|
 Not looking its 500 years, this old hotel is nestled in the heart of the medieval village of Hauterive. 10 rooms, full of character and corners, have been furnished with passion by a previous owner. Today, Nathalie and René Thalmann welcome you with lots of warmth and humour. Chess games in front of the fireplace and aperitifs at the bar, enjoyably prolonged with a « Flammenkuche » (sort of Alsatian pizza), a tribute to the Alsatian origins of Nathalie. When leaving, you can even take the book that you find in the small secret library in your room, if you haven't finished reading it. A hotel full of charm that caters not only to "well-bred creatures" but also to die-hard techies, who will find a free internet connection here. Contact, informations and how to get there: |

L’Aubier: sleep as we live |
|
|
 «Sirop d’érable» (Maple Syrup), «Grande Ourse» (The Great Bear), and «Clémentine» (Clementine) are a few of the names given to the rooms in this hotel, and they tell a story that sets the hotel apart from others. The adventure started a little over 25 years ago, when two friends, one a farmer's son and the other a physicist, decided to rework a farm and practice biodynamic agriculture. Soon after, they took over the neighbouring inn that had been closed for a long time and turned it into a restaurant. A new farm and hotel were built, thanks to a call for funding among their friends and clients.
One common point among all these realizations became clear: sustainable development. The rain water is collected and used in the farm building and WCs, the sun dries the hay, the heating system runs on waste wood, and even the farming is designed to circulate energy. The restaurant is obviously «100% organic» and serves mainly products straight from the farm. It's a small world built on the idea of self-sufficiency developed by Rudolf Steiner, and it attracts a clientele from both the private sector on vacation and businesses attending seminars.
