Hotels

The cultural institution Origen is based in the Swiss Alps of the Canton of Grisons, in small villages with a rich history. In Riom, the Romans built luxurious hostels for travelling merchants. Origen opens up the Villa Carisch and the patrician house of the noble family Frisch and creates accommodation for guests. In Mulegns, the extravagant, newly renovated Hotel Löwe invites you to indulge in stories, colours and grand gestures.

HOTEL LÖWE MULEGNS

The Post Hotel Löwe is one of the oldest hotels in Grisons. Situated on the old Julier Pass route, it experienced its golden age at the end of the 19th century. Presidents, tsarist widows, Nobel Prize winners and crown princesses have stayed within its historic walls. Since summer 2024, the prestigious hotel has once again been welcoming guests from all over the world.

Eros-ion Mulegns

Hotel theatre

The Löwe is an inn and cultural centre. The famous blue hall serves as an elegant backdrop for theatre miniatures, hotel stories and chamber concerts. The noble salon becomes a foyer, the terrace a cool smoking lounge.

spoilt for choice

The newly renovated Hotel Löwe has seven rooms and suites that have been extensively refurbished. The world-famous designer Martin Leuthold was inspired by the guest books of Mulegns and dedicated each room to a European metropolis – as a tribute to the well-travelled guests of earlier centuries.

The prices for double rooms including breakfast range from CHF 290 to 490. You can make your reservation by calling +41 81 659 15 11, sending an e-mail to hotel@origen.ch or directly online at the following link.

fine dining

The cuisine of the Hotel Löwe is fresh, refined and cosmopolitan. It reflects the guests' origins and spans a culinary network through Europe. Mediterranean influences are reminiscent of the old ties to Italy. The French esprit comes from the recipe books of the Belle Époque. The old garden supplies the hotel kitchen with fresh berries and herbs in summer.

VILLA CARISCH RIOM

The stately Villa Carisch is located on the edge of the village of Riom, surrounded by gardens, and tells the story of the dream of Lurintg Carisch and his French wife, who spent their old age here. Since last year, the Villa Carisch has served as a small village hotel and theatre café. You can spend the night here and attend a performance in the neighbouring Clavadeira or the medieval castle. The café with its gardens invites you to linger.

Hotel Frisch Riom

HOTEL FRISCH RIOM

The Frisch family's patrician house is transformed into a charming hotel during summer. The stately house on the lively village square impresses with its beautiful, spacious rooms, warm wooden floors, simple panelling and gentle patina. It was built after the great village fire of 1864, which reduced almost the entire village to rubble. The spacious village square, where the vinotheque invites you to linger during the summer festival, was also built at that time.
