Huus Quell by Appenzeller Huus
Gonten, Switzerland · October 2024

Set at around 900 metres in the Alpstein range in Appenzellerland, Huus Quell by Appenzeller Huus is a contemporary 5-star retreat and a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. The house focuses on quiet comfort: 30 rooms and suites pair clean-lined architecture with warm materials, framed by wide alpine views. The centrepiece is the 2,200 m² spa and wellness area, designed for unhurried days with sauna and steam bath, treatments, and tailored activity programmes that can include meditation, supported by thoughtful, health-minded cuisine. Dining sits within the wider Appenzeller Huus collection, led by Executive Chef Carsten Kypke, while wine becomes its own destination in Switzerland’s largest wine cellar, curated by cellar master Hans Rhyner for tastings in an atmospheric setting.
