The world’s first Null Stern
Hotel in Teufen, Switzerland, closed its doors on June 4, 2010 – exactly
one year after opening – to focus on opening in urban locations. The
Null Stern Hotel in Teufen has been converted into a museum.
“We started with a Beetle but the Null Stern
engine has grown and we need a truck” states, Daniel Charbonnier (Minds in Motion, SA).
The overwhelmingly positive response from guests requesting additional
Null Stern Hotel locations has led the three Swiss founders of the brand
“Null Stern – the only star is you”, Frank and Patrik Riklin (Atelier für Sonderaufgaben) and
Daniel Charbonnier to dedicate their efforts on the expansion strategy.
“The operating performance as well as market research collected in the
past year has confirmed the demand to open a full size Null Stern
Hotel”, explains Daniel Charbonnier.
The current evolution of the socio-economic environment
creates opportunities to develop the business model to its fullest
potential. Due to on-going negotiations, the next Null Stern Hotel
location cannot be disclosed. “For sure it is a location where you don’t
expect a Biedermeier bed”, says Patrik Riklin.
Museum
The Null Stern Hotel Biedermeier beds have welcomed
guests from 29 countries in one year. The hotel is now open as a museum
and is ready for visitors to experience and discover the birthplace of
the world’s first Null Stern Hotel. The founders will personally escort
you on a tour to explain the unique features of the Null Stern Hotel
such as
the wheel of fate,
the
virtual window or
the
second check in. Museum open by
appointment with
a nominal entrance fee of CHF 5.-. Corporate groups, schools, colleges
and universities with special requests are very welcome.
The Null Stern Hotel concept:
Located in one of Switzerland’s historic regions, Appenzellerland, the
Null Stern Hotel offers a unique and memorable lodging experience at an
affordable price. Originally, a Swiss Nuclear bunker, the Hotel offers
exceptional guest service in a minimalistic environment where art plays
an interactive role in forming the guest experience. The modern butler
will cater to all needs from serving morning coffee bedside to checking
in guests through a hidden tunnel, if they so desire.
