Sarnen, Switzerland · Tailormade Hotel · Near Luxury
Korporation Freiteil, the old citizens' corporation of Sarnen, bought the town's Gasthaus Krone in 1963, closed it in 1975 when it failed the building rules, and opened a new hotel on the same ground on 22 October 1980. Paul Dillier and Georges Burch were the architects. The corporation voted about 10.2 million francs so Obwalden's capital would have a hall and proper guest rooms. In March 2025 Biljana and Peter Vespa brought the house into Tailormade: 61 rooms at Brünigstrasse 130, the Kronensaal still the room the town uses when it gathers.

About Tailormade Hotel KRONE Sarnen

- The March 2025 Tailormade opening, under the Vespas, counts 110 beds as well as those 61 rooms. The restaurant was refreshed in the same short works. The address did not move.
History
A Gasthaus named Krone already stood in central Sarnen when owner Franz Nufer-Reinhard sold it in 1963 to Korporation Freiteil. The corporation paid 450,000 francs for the house, the furniture, and 692 square metres, then spent until 1978 buying seventeen more parcels. The old inn closed in 1975 because it no longer met the building rules. Architects Paul Dillier and Georges Burch designed the replacement. Ground was broken on 12 March 1979, the new hotel opened on 22 October 1980, and the keys were formally handed over on 30 January 1981, after a corporation vote of about 10.2 million francs. On 1 March 2025 Biljana and Peter Vespa reopened it as Tailormade Hotel KRONE Sarnen.
The setting
Brünigstrasse 130 is the centre of Sarnen, the main town of canton Obwalden, on the road that carries traffic toward the Brünig. The Kronensaal is the town's large gathering room. Lucerne is the nearest city guests name, a short ride over the hills.
