The hotel operator b_smart will assume responsibility for running Hotel Paul’s in Widnau in the canton of St.Gallen. From February 1, the company intends to seamlessly continue operations, further details of which can be found in a press release.

The hotel operator intends to renovate the building while remaining open and carry out a redesign in accordance with b_smart’s own standard. Following this, the hotel will be switched to a self-check-in service, which means that guests will be able to independently check in and check out of their rooms around the clock using a terminal in the lobby.

Once the property has changed hands, the gardens surrounding the hotel will also undergo renovation. Moreover, b_smart, which is headquartered in Gamprin-Bendern in Liechtenstein, intends to re-open the former Restaurant Paul, while the new hotel will also offer fitness and recovery facilities in addition to meeting and event rooms.

The press release explains that following a comprehensive renovation and restyling, the hotel, which dates back to the years of entrepreneurial boom in the late 19th century known as the “Gründerzeit” and is built in the Wilhelmine-style typical of this period, will be boosted by the addition of an attractive restaurant offering that will be open to both guests and the local population. The grand re-opening as “b_smart hotel Widnau” is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2023, b_smart writes in the press release.
