Lofthotel Murg

Northeastern Switzerland


A 19th-century cotton mill has been reincarnated as the Lofthotel, affording fine views of the Churfirsten mountains and Walensee. Clean lines, polished concrete and bold artworks define the industrial-chic rooms. Farm-fresh produce and homemade preserves are served at breakfast.
