Huus Quell by Appenzeller Huus is a breath of fresh air in the rolling green hills of Gonten, in the deeply traditional Appenzell region of eastern Switzerland. It pairs clean, contemporary alpine design with warm Swiss hospitality and a strong sustainability ethos, a modern counterpoint to the painted farmhouses of the surrounding countryside.

The dining is built around sharing and provenance. Restaurant Quell serves creative contemporary sharing plates blending local classics with international influences under executive chef Michael Gollenz; the historic Bärenstobe is a cozy regional institution of fine dining; and Löwenstobe reinvents Appenzell specialties with a focus on sustainable gastronomy.

For a design-led, sustainable Alpine stay, Huus Quell is a standout.
