Tiny Hotels and Lodgings: Hotels for really every need

"For the 2025 spring season, Switzerland Tourism, in professional collaboration with BienenSchweiz, is looking for unusual and fresh designs for accommodation that fulfil the needs of even the smallest guests. We are talking about bee and insect hotels, as well as bird and hedgehog houses. The nine most exciting ideas will be realised in selected top hotels in the Swiss hotel industry and integrated into the communication of the international Hotel Campaign 2025. And you can take part too! You can find all the information on how, when and why on this page.

The following nine renowned hotels will each receive one of the winning designs and realise it structurally. All of these hotels offer sufficient surrounding space and green areas so that the resulting bee and insect hotels can be perfectly embedded. Please familiarise yourself with the hotels and the respective cooperations before designing."
