Baden Hotel

The Baden Hotel dates back to 1874, but the frame structure was built in 1858. In the early days of its operation, the hotel was adjacent to a railway and also had the ability to stable 100 horses, making it a prime location for travellers and merchants.

There is a great deal of history in the hotel, and in the 1910s, an unidentified traveller paid for his stay at the hotel by painting the ceiling tiles, which are still visible today.

Guests can enjoy a comfortable stay in their lodgings and take advantage of their bar and adjacent restaurant.
