CSA plans hotel on Rexmax site in Thun
The new Hotel-Restaurant Spedition is planned for the Rexmax site in Thun. The former freight forwarding building of Gerber Käse AG will be remodeled until summer 2016. The hotel and restaurant will be run by Thun restaurateur Daniel Mani and his wife Manuela Mani-Gerber.
The listed building at Gewerbestrasse 4 in Thun is part of the portfolio of the Credit Suisse Investment Foundation (CSA), which has published a planning application to convert the freight forwarding building into a "public hospitality business", reports the "Thuner Tagblatt". The investment volume is said to be in the single-digit million franc range.
According to the plans, a restaurant is planned for the first floor and a "private dining room" with a wine cellar and kitchen in the basement. The restaurant will have 90 seats and a terrace with 80 seats.
On the upper floors, 15 rooms with 30 beds are planned as a three-star superior hotel. As operators of the hotel, Daniel Mani will be assisted by the experienced hoteliers Manfred and Günter Weilguni, who already run the three-star boutique hotel Alpine Lodge in Gstaad-Saanen and the three-star Hotel Landhaus in Saanen.
