A sound hotel for Wildhaus
The canton of St. Gallen has initially rejected a planned sound house on Lake Schwendi. Wildhaus is now getting a sound hotel as a vegetarian replacement, so to speak. The Austrian Jufa (Jugend & Familiengästehäuser) and the Liechtenstein ITW Group are behind the project.
The three-star hotel with around 200 beds is designed primarily for families and clubs, according to a press release from the canton of St. Gallen. The Toggenburg theme of sound is incorporated and staged in the generally accessible experience and restaurant section. The idea for the hotel was launched around 18 months ago, i.e. before the turmoil in the St. Gallen cantonal parliament that led to the Klanghaus project being shelved.
The experience center is to be built in Wildhaus, in the Lisighaus district, near the valley station of the Wildhaus-Oberdorf chairlift. The central part is the Klanghotel with around 70 rooms and more than 200 beds as well as a restaurant and bistro with a wide range of facilities. Indoor play areas, a bowling alley, a large wellness area with water adventure world, a multi-purpose hall for sports, games and events as well as several seminar rooms will be available not only to hotel guests but also to the public.
Founded in Graz, Jufa has now established over 50 Jufa hotels in several countries. What all the hotels have in common is that they are geared towards families and clubs and each has a wellness and adventure section tailored to the region.
