History
The Krone stands in the medieval hilltop town of Regensberg, founded in 1244 by Baron Lüthold V von Regensberg. An inn with tavern rights existed here for centuries; after the great fire of 1540 destroyed much of the Oberburg, the building was rebuilt, later serving even as a district court and prison until 1870.
After operating for generations as the Gasthaus zur Krone, the guesthouse closed in 1997 and was converted into apartments. A catastrophic fire on September 12, 2011 — nearly five centuries after the 1540 blaze — destroyed roughly 85 percent of the structure. Following a multi-year reconstruction led by the Schäfer family and architects L3P, it reopened on June 3, 2015 as the Boutique Hotel Restaurant Krone.
Today the nine-room hotel is a member of Relais & Châteaux and holds two MICHELIN Keys, its acclaimed restaurant continuing the centuries-old tradition of hospitality on the site.
The setting
Boutique Hotel Restaurant Krone Regensberg occupies Oberburg 1 within the Oberstadt of Regensberg, a medieval hilltop settlement founded in 1244 by Baron Lüthold V roughly 25 kilometres north of Zurich. Ringed by intact town walls and vineyards, the village functioned for centuries as a natural fortress, and the Krone itself has served as an inn for nearly 800 years. A fire-prompted renovation by the Schäfer family's in-house architect fused exposed timber frames with contemporary minimalism across nine refined rooms. The adjacent 13th-century round tower commands 360-degree panoramas to the Alps, while Zurich Airport lies just five miles away — making this one of Europe's most singular luxury escapes within reach of a global hub. 12 km from Lake Katzen.
