Historic inn with large capacity - Canton of Bern

In the heart of a popular tourist region in the Canton of Bern, this historic inn represents a rare opportunity for a buyer passionate about gastronomy and heritage. Built in the mid-17th century, this building is one of the most iconic establishments in the region and enjoys a reputation that extends well beyond local boundaries. Its authentic architecture and unique character have attracted the attention of television and film productions over the decades. The establishment has a complete and functional infrastructure spread over several levels. The ground floor houses four dining rooms offering a total capacity of approximately 120 seats, whilst the upper floor offers three modular spaces that can accommodate small groups up to large receptions of 180 people. A covered terrace completes the offer with an additional forty seats. Professional equipment includes a service lift, an accessible cold room and a connection to the district heating network, ensuring modern and environmentally friendly operations. The geographical location is a major asset, with excellent public transport accessibility, generous parking equipped with electric charging stations and immediate proximity to the village centre. The establishment naturally attracts a varied clientele, from individual visitors to organised groups, and maintains strong attendance without requiring intensive marketing efforts. A private museum is integrated into the building, but its management remains independent of the catering operations. The current owner, approaching retirement, offers personalised support during the transition and is open to different takeover arrangements, whether in the form of a management lease or other arrangements. An experienced team is in place to ensure continuity of operations. The buyer will benefit from complete freedom in the future direction of the concept, with significant development potential for both daily catering and the organisation of private and professional events. This transfer is aimed at a catering professional with an entrepreneurial spirit who wishes to perpetuate the history of a place steeped in memory whilst bringing their own vision to it.
