Surrounded by the most beautiful nature, the Hof Weissbad resort, with the 4Superior Hotel Hof Weissbad and the 3 Weissbad Lodge, is located in Weissbad in Appenzell. The historic village of Appenzell is just five minutes away by car or train. The Hof Weissbad is therefore the perfect starting point for a leisurely excursion to Appenzell or for hiking in the Alpstein. You don’t always have to plan an excursion, because the hotel with its park and its own herb garden, the new spa area and the flower workshop also invites you to linger on site.
When I arrived at Hof Weissbad, I was warmly welcomed and greeted with a welcome drink. The warmth of the team was evident throughout my stay. From reception to the evening and breakfast service. A Biberli was waiting for me in my room and guests can help themselves to mineral water, coffee, tea and fruit on the floor. From my room I had a beautiful view of the hotel’s own herb garden and the surrounding mountain landscape. The rooms offer a combination of modern comfort and stylish furnishings with cultural elements from the Appenzellerland. My highlight: the bathroom!

Rest and relaxation in the bath and sauna house
The newly opened bathing and sauna centre combines modern wellness design with the beauty of the Alpine surroundings. The two-storey building made of high-quality spruce wood impresses with its glass façade and jagged architecture, reminiscent of a cut diamond or an Alpine crystal.
If you are looking for relaxation, whether for a weekend or just for a few hours, I can warmly recommend the Hof Weissbad resort! During my stay, I enjoyed the peace and quiet in the bio sauna and steam bath to the full. The bath and sauna house is the perfect place for a short break during work. In addition to the saunas, the comfort and the tastefully designed rooms, there was one little thing that struck me as particularly positive: There were handy plastic bags to store wet swimming trunks after a swim. This is a well thought-out service that you rarely find – especially before you leave, when you are often still enjoying the last few hours in the spa and your swimming trunks would otherwise end up wet in your luggage.

The spa facilities include a Finnish sauna (90 degrees), a bio sauna (65 degrees) and a steam bath, a Kneipp pool, several relaxation rooms, a fitness area, a natural swimming pool and a heated whirlpool. The spa lounge and the spacious sunbathing terrace offer the perfect place to relax and unwind. But that’s not all, the Hof Weissbad also has an indoor and outdoor pool where you can enjoy 33-degree spring water with a view of the picturesque Appenzell landscape.
For external guests, the Resort Hof Weissbad offers various day spa packages – it’s worth taking a look: Day-Spa
Also highly recommended: the Ladies or Gentlemen Time Out. Spend an unforgettable day spa holiday together with friends or girlfriends in Appenzellerland.
The absolute highlight: in the evening, the bath & sauna house is available exclusively for the group so that you can relax and unwind in a private and informal atmosphere – a special experience that will be remembered for a long time to come.

Culinary delights at the highest level
Gourmets get their money’s worth here, as delicious dishes are served in the morning and in the evening. Head chef Käthi Fässler and her team have once again cooked their way to 16 GaultMillau points – and rightly so. We enjoyed a 3-course menu. In addition to the daily changing evening menu with a total of 16 dishes, there is also a 16-GaultMillau point gourmet menu to choose from. There is a vegetarian and meat option.


The breakfast also leaves nothing to be desired. There is everything your heart desires. I personally love rösti with chipolata for breakfast – I also had this at Hof Weissbad and the rösti was really perfect – a big compliment to the kitchen! Fried until golden brown and crispy, just the way a rösti should be.
By the way, every Sunday the Hotel Hof Weissbad offers a Sunday lunch buffet à discrétion – I can highly recommend it!
