New Discovery: Switzerland
As you drive up the gentle hill and spot the dramatic Hotel Paxmontana on the crest, you will be immediately enchanted. Built in 1896 in the grand old Victorian resort style, the Paxmontana is a sprawling four-story mansion topped by a mansard roof with gabled windows, perky turrets, a Swiss flag, green shutters, and wraparound balconies. Although lager than most of the hotels in our guide, the Paxmontana has nostalgic, old-world character, impeccable upkeep, outstanding gardens, and the genuine hospitality of an intimate, family-run hotel. The lounges are spacious an attractively decorated. Stretching across the front is a delightful restaurant in a glass-enclosed porch where every table faces the window with an unobstructed view. A second, more formal, dining room has a charming forest view. The simple guestrooms are moderately sized and the bathrooms somewhat dated, but the upkeep is perfect and the décor is sweet and cheerful. Most guestrooms have a balcony, and all have a beautiful vista – those in front, a sweeping view of valley and mountains, and those in back, the pretty forested hills. Intentionally, no televisions or radios are in the rooms since most guests come for the joy of being close to nature and for long walks along the many wooded paths. Many guests come to visit the birthplace of the renowned Saint Nicholas, born here in the 15th century in a nearby cottage.

The unique, 47 metre long Restaurant Veranda with its glass façade looks out across the spectacular Sameraatal and Glaubenberg. The cool terrazzo flooring, wood panelled walls painted yellow to recreate the style of the Neo-Renaissance, decorated with Impressionist-style canvas paintings and the Art Nouveau style lamps with their discreet lighting, all combine to create a special ambience in this room.
The original dining room has a beech wood parquet flooring laid in a herringbone pattern, edged with dark walnut and cherry wood. The glass façade birings warmth and light into the room, as well as opening up a fantastic view over the greenery of the surrounding Buchenallee.
