1793

The Founding Year When Zunftmeister Conrad Bavier opened the inherited family house "in the German style as an inn, with the shield of the three kings."

A Living Chronicle

A living part of Chur's history.

The hotel has existed in this building since 1793. Recorded in the National Archives in the provincial news of that year: "Mr. Zunftmeister Conrad Bavier is hereby announcing that he has established the inherited house from his blessed father in the German style to an inn, and gave it the shield with the three kings which was previously associated."

The Schällibaum family then ran the house for over three generations, until 2005. Today the hotel continues under DC Gastronomie GmbH, in the same building, in the same old town, with the same name above the door.

Inside the walls there are details most guests never notice: the oldest preserved hotel room in Chur, a banquet hall that has been alternately part of an abbey and part of the seat of government, and — according to local legend — an underground passage that once connected the bishop's seat to our basement.

"Established the inherited house in the German style as an inn, and gave it the shield with the three kings." — Zunftmeister Conrad Bavier, founding announcement, 1793

Inside the Building

Rooms with their own histories.

Long before our time, the rooms of this house carried other lives. The "Weinstube" was once a relay station for the postal service, and later a set used in the filming of Jürg Jenatsch. The "Drei König" banquet hall has been, by turns, part of a monastery and part of the seat of government.

The first health insurance scheme for the forestry workers of Grisons was drafted under this roof. And somewhere in the building — depending on which corridor you take — sits what is recorded as the oldest preserved hotel room in Chur.

Around the Hotel

Five thousand years of old town outside the door.

Cobblestone street in the old town of Chur

01 / Cobblestone

Cobblestone alleys & the old town

Step out of the door and you are immediately inside Chur's old town — the heart of Switzerland's oldest continuously inhabited city. Five thousand years of habitation, and you can walk most of it in an afternoon.

Warmly lit traditional Swiss restaurant in the evening

02 / Ten

Ten restaurants on the doorstep

More than ten restaurants sit within a two-minute walk of the hotel — from traditional Grisons cooking to international kitchens. Our reception will happily point you to whichever suits the evening.

03 / Snow-covered

Snow-covered mountains all around

Chur sits at the entry to Graubünden's alpine valleys. The Rhaetian Railway departs from the station — Bernina Express, Glacier Express, and the route past the Landwasser Viaduct all start here.

Bike room on the house

Lockable bicycle and motorbike storage, free of charge. The Rhine cycle route runs through Chur — drop your bike off, take a shower, walk into the old town.

06 / Modern

Modern shops & unspoiled nature

Chur is one of the rare places where a modern shopping street and an unspoiled mountainside are a short walk apart. Beautiful alleys one way, the alps the other.

Practical Matters

The everyday things that matter.

A few quiet practicalities that make the difference between a night and a stay. Free Wi-Fi throughout the building. Lockable bike and motorbike storage on the house. Reception is happy to help you find a restaurant for dinner — there are more than ten within a two-minute walk.
