Who’s Who in Swiss Hotel Beds
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. Robert Louis Stevenson, writer
Dear Friend of The Most Famous Hotels in the World;
EXTRA: Here you find an update from our friend Raymond Bickson, the MD of Taj Hotels, Mumbai (http://www.famoushotels.org/hotels/169) on the dramatic happenings of the last five days at the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Switzerland: Geneva, Zurich, Solothurn, Ouchy-Lausanne, Lucerne, Basle, Locarno, Pontresina, ...
From Napoleon to Byron, from the King of Hawaii to the Tsar of Russia.
I have found an interesting article about the most important Swiss hotels and their visitors before 1927.
By the way, did you know? Languages spoken in the most countries are 1. English (57), 2. French (53), 3. Arabic (23), 4.Spanish (21).
The snow has arrived! Please visit our Select Member Hotel Waldhaus Flims, specially featured today. It is Switzerland's largest and certainly most unique hotel-village, with its own hotel museum!
And let me introduce the DOORMAN OF THE MONTH below. Albert J. Moses III guards Le Pavillion in New Orleans.
On Friday we will send you our Christmas books sales newsletter. Please order your gifts to ensure that they arrive in time for Christmas.
Sincerely yours

The Swiss climb to the top of Tourism
An article written in 1927 shows us the status of Swiss hospitality industry some 80 years ago. Not only for nostalgic history fans!
Switzerland became the holiday playground of Europe in the mid of the nineteenth century, and as a consequence its hotels began to attract the attention of the rest of the world, or so much of it as was interested in travel for recreation. Traveller's did not arrive for the sex-appeal of its cities - neither Geneva nor Zurich, neither Bern nor Basle were a match for London, Paris, Berlin or Vienna - but they flocked to the Swiss countryside for its mountains, its crystal clear lakes and its unspoilt nature.
