About us

We’re part of the Baseltor cooperative, a local hotel and restaurant group with 120 employees that has been setting trends and new standards in Solothurn for more than 40 years, and where people and life are the priority.

Switzerland’s second-oldest guest house

The history of La Couronne, or ‘the crown’, dates back more than 500 years. ‘It’s documented as the second-oldest guest house in Switzerland and is inextricably tied to the history of the ambassadorial city of Solothurn. As a social and political centre, it often played a decisive role,’ wrote the Solothurner Zeitung in a two-part series. The hotel’s history naturally includes a number of illustrious guests, such as Casanova, Napoleon, Jane Fonda and Sophia Loren.

Your host

Since La Couronne opened in May 2017, Chef de Cuisine Martin Elschner has been treating guests to culinary delights and welcoming them warmly together with his team.
