Hotel Krone in Au

We booked the hotel for a family vacation. We were 3 generations, ranging from age 15 to 85 years old, and all of us had a fantastic time. First: A place falls and stands with its people. Everyone we encountered was professional, friendly and very engaging, including the owner. A special Thank you to Kataryna who served us breakfast and dinner and Norbert who is a brilliant bartender. Next: the amenities are unique. The hotel has a rooftop wellness area with 3 different sauna rooms and a eucalyptus steam bath. There were also plenty of places to rest after the sauna and have cup of tea. The entire area is on top of the hotel and provides stunning views of the mountain landscape which can be enjoyed even in the saunas. Another great feature is a natural pool, meaning no chlorine or salt needed. Two small basins adjacent basins filter the water naturally with plants. Swimming in drinking quality water was heaven. The hotel also has a wellness spa, and my husband had a massage that he enjoyed very much. The food: the hotel provides breakfast, an afternoon snack, and dinner, all of which are good. There was a huge variety at the breakfast buffet, from smoked lox, cheeses, breads, eggs, meats, and more. It was simply delicious. The afternoon snack usually was a soup or cheeses with cold cuts or tortellini and always a multiple selection of pastries. There was also a five-course meal every night for dinner consisting of salad buffet, appetizer, main course, dessert and cheese (there was always a vegetarian option too). One of the reasons the chef likes this area is that so much of the food can be sourced locally. Every meal we had contained many, if not all, ingredients which were locally sourced. The rooms: They were decent sized and ours had an amazing floor to ceiling windows with a spectacular view of the Kanisfluh mountain. This said, we didn’t spend a lot of time in our room. After hiking we would mostly take naps in the beautiful spa on the top floor. The hotel offered programs each day with a nice variety. In the 4 days we stayed there we went to an organ concert and talk about the baroque masters of the valley, a jazz concert and a singing bowl meditation in the Spa. All for free and organized by the hotel. One additional surprising aspect: We talked to five different hotel guests, and they were all repeat customers. Here is our summary: If we ever come to this area again, we will definitely stay at the Krone in Au. The friendly people, the facilities, the food and activities were an absolute selling point for our family. Thank you for a fun and memorable stay!
