About us, hosts in the 4th generation
It began in 1929…
The founder of the hospitality-oriented company was grandmother Anna – one of the few female entrepreneurs of the first half of the last century. She courageously ran the small guesthouse on Obere Kirchweg. War, occupation, new beginnings – that was their time.
Son Ernst and wife Tilla expanded, enlarged and embellished the ANNA during the boom years. We children can remember well – every winter there was extensive construction.
The daughters Gabriela and Karin led the small, fine 4-star hotel into the 21st century. We don’t build something new every year, but we renovate every winter so that the ANNA remains contemporary. We always try to see everything through the eyes of the guest.
Anna Gmelin’s great-granddaughter Tamara ANNA Karle joined the family business in 2019 – so we can name the fourth generation. And the 5th generation is already taken care of: Emilia ANNA Karle was born on 21.9.2019. So the “women’s economy” continues.
Thousands of guests come and go at ANNA every year. Many are “repeat offenders”. The atmosphere of the house is appreciated – a feel-good atmosphere characterized by long-standing employees with a great sense of hospitality and the personal commitment of the family.
