Appenzeller Huus Löwen

The rooftop hot tub overlooks green pastures and snow-capped peaks, bookable privately along with the wood-burning stove, which is either very romantic or very Swiss, possibly both. This boutique hotel occupies a timber-and-stone building that's been around forever, though the rooms run pale knotty wood and quasi-Scandinavian light rather than alpine kitsch. Flower murals brighten the breakfast room. Yodeling festivals happen nearby; the solar panels on the steep roof happen here.
