About the Concept Hotel Landhaus
The Concept Hotel Landhaus is being created from the listed Gasthaus Landhaus, combining traditional Swiss architecture with modern technology and contemporary design. With 19 beds and 12 rooms in a modern alpine style, the hotel offers its guests comfort and cosiness. Each room is equipped with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and comfortable seating areas that create an inviting atmosphere.
A showcase project for inclusion and digitalisation
SAZ Burgdorf has developed the Concept Hotel Landhaus as a central element of its vision to create inclusive workplaces. The use of advanced digital technologies enables accessibility in the workplace. At the same time, this digitalisation step means new areas of learning for all employees in the hotel business, facility management, laundry and cleaning.
Herzroute – a paradise for cycling and old town lovers
The Concept Hotel Landhaus is located directly on the Herzroute, a popular destination for cycling enthusiasts. Cycle route 99 stretches from Lausanne to Rorschach and takes you through the most breathtaking regions of picturesque Switzerland. Located directly on this route, our hotel offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a well-earned break after a tour of discovery through the idyllic landscapes of the Emmental. Our guests can relax in the surrounding nature along the Emme or in the charming old town and savour local delicacies.
Unique banqueting hall with stage
A special highlight of the hotel is the banqueting hall with stage, which is ideal for small celebrations, meetings or stand-up aperitifs. This versatile room can be hired at any time and provides the perfect setting for special occasions or business events.
Catering and services
The Intact Foundation recently announced that it will be withdrawing its catering services from the Landhaus in the summer. Nevertheless, the hotel’s guests will still be well catered for thanks to the wide range of gastronomic offerings in the surrounding area and the catering provided by SAZ Burgdorf. The hotel is therefore also ideal for business and corporate clients in the region as well as individual tourists.
Location and accessibility
We are easily accessible from Burgdorf railway station by bus routes 461 and 462. There is also a large car park directly behind the hotel.
