The picturesque garden behind the hotel deserves special mention. In its oldest known 18th century form, it was laid out in geometric shapes. A century later, domestic and exotic groups of trees, including sequoias, give it an artistic touch. This garden has been professionally cared for consistent with its historical significance and unique charm perfectly complements the Baroque palazzo.

Icomos named the Palazzo Salis Historic Hotel of the year in 1998. It was a founding member of Swiss Historic Hotels in 2004. 

From the 2024 season it is part of the Swiss Garten Hotels group. The Garten Hotels of Switzerland, with their green oases, offer the best opportunities to leave behind the hectic and frenetic life, to find and take time for yourself. In the Garden Hotels you will find everything you need for a relaxing and inspiring stay. Let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of our gardens and experience nature in a completely new way.

During the summer season (June - October) in good weather, lunch is served from 11.45am to 5pm in our historic garden.
