The Story of Hôtel Mirabeau

1974 marks the year Hôtel Mirabeau was constructed. Norwegian-born Chris Stuckelberger had been managing the property until her daughter Sylvie took over in 2008.
Today, the 3 star property counts 23 rooms and 3 apartments. To Sylvie and her team, there is no place like home, and that’s the exact feeling guests can enjoy from the first step in. How to best describe The Mirabeau? «A hotel just like home, but far from home! » as Sylvie would joyously put it.

I grew up at Hôtel Mirabeau since my mother started managing it in 1974. At first, she rented it. And from the beginning, she worked here day and night to support us first and finally to manage to buy it ten years later. This hotel was her fifth child, so to speak, and our home for many years. Since I was a child, I always wanted to take over this beautiful family business that my mother managed so well. I was already helping at breakfast, folding the sheets, and I didn’t have the arms long enough to make ends meet. My dearest wish: to continue to welcome our customers in a warm and authentic atmosphere. I do my utmost to ensure that they have an unforgettable stay like my mother did so well before me. Today, when she is at the hotel, she still takes care of our guests! She is the soul of this hotel.
