100 SWISS HISTORIC HOTELS BOOK

Travel Back in Time to the Golden Age of Swiss Tourism with 100 Swiss Historic Hotels, a visual voyage trough time book.

This book celebrates the elegance and charm of historic hotels, palaces, and extraordinary mountain hospices from the late 19th to the early 20th century through their advertising labels. Showcasing high-quality reproductions of the most prestigious and rare hotel labels, this work is a true treasure that explores themes such as history, design, printing, hospitality, tourism, and architecture.

Like a travel journal, the book is enriched with fascinating and unusual anecdotes and stories. These labels, once glued by hotel staff to travelers’ suitcases at the end of the 19th century, bear witness to a now-lost art of advertising.

Unique in its kind, this book invites readers to journey through these fabulous works of art, reproduced at full scale from the exceptional collection of Jeremia Adatte. Most of the hotels featured are still in operation today!
