Schwarzer Adler 1825

Welcome to our historical house “zum Schwarzen Adler – to the black Eagle”. A family affair since 1825.

The Adlerhotel is located in the village center on the Sitter River. In our charming 400-year-old house and in the new building there are a total of 20 comfortably furnished rooms and suites. All have a private bathroom with a shower or bathtub and a toilet.

A tasteful breakfast is part of a successful start to the day – regardless of whether you then set off to the Alpstein by bike, on foot or by cable car. Our breakfast room is also your lounge and the round table is suitable for a cheerful game.

Patio Adlerplatz & Sonnendeck behind the house

PATIO at Adlerplatz

See and be seen – that is part of your experience on our spacious Garden terrace by the river Sitter. It was opened by our grandparents on August 1, 1957 and has always attracted people from near and far. What’s more refreshing than a homemade gelato?!

Two exciting works of art by Roman Signer have been installed at Adlerplatz since 2005. Can you spot them?!

PATIO behind the house (Sonnendeck)

Before the first rays of summer sun illuminate the garden terrace, enjoy a tasty meal from Little Italy in pleasant temperatures and quiet. Our sundeck is behind the house.

All around you can see typical Appenzell houses that were rebuilt after the village fire of 1560.

History

Originally called Oberegger Haus, the existing foundation walls of the old building date from before the village fire in 1560.

The house has been family-owned since 1825 and is now run by the Leu Heuberger family.
