Oswald Zapelli,

This hotel is situated in a privileged position, from which there is a wonderful view of the Alps and the lake. As there is also a well-advertised service station, every incentive is provided for the tourist to make a stop at this Motel. Ample parking space, with a capacity for 80 cars, is provided on each side of the entrance. The restaurant service is the dominant feature of this project: besides a dining room for the guests, there is another one for the general public, as well as a grill room. The bar connects both dining rooms, which are located at different levels. An outdoor gallery and two terraces add to the amenities of the restaurant. The administration and reception offices occupy a separate building nearby. The bedrooms are grouped in two sets, each comprising three buildings, and are arranged unevenly as regards elevation and plan design. They are situated sufficiently far from the main road to provide guests with silence at night. Each apartment has one or two beds and is very comfortably appointed. In one of the groups advantage of the ground slope has been taken, so that the car can be parked beneath the apartment. Sports facilities have been provided to make a stay at this motel even more rewarding: there is a large and two small swimming pools, tennis courts, a horse riding school, and a golf course not far off. In winter, time skiing enthusiasts also take advantage of this fine motel. Altogether it is a most attractive feature for the traveller, who is delighted with the way the buildings harmonise with the local scenery.
