The story behind HotelCard
HotelCard's journey began in 2009, right at the kitchen table of a young Swiss entrepreneur. Driven by a desire to increase the occupancy rate of his father-in-law's hotel in the picturesque Engadine Valley, a clever concept was born - the "half-price travel pass for hotels", inspired by the popular Swiss half-price pass for public transport. This innovative idea was eagerly embraced by numerous hotels as partner establishments, and the membership base flourished, experiencing remarkable growth in the years that followed.
At the beginning of 2020, the company's leadership changed with the appointment of Twint founder Thierry Kneissler as the new Chairman. The new management made significant investments to implement best-in-class booking technology and slightly adapt the business model to meet the ever-evolving needs of both hotels and members. The efforts have paid off, as the once Swiss insider tip is now more popular than ever with members and hotels alike, and continues to grow in popularity both in Switzerland and in neighbouring countries.
