HISTORY

HOSPITALITY WITH A LONG TRADITION

1958

Fritz Reich took over his parents' house at Argenau 100. At that time, the house accommodated the post office, a rental apartment and a workshop in the basement.

In bygone days, Argenau 100 was the stage station for the mail coaches.

In the same year, he founded the Cafe Reich on first floor, and shortly after the tenants moved out, Fritz Reich moved to the ground floor creating the Cafe "Grillstube" Reich.

1966

Fritz married Irma Hammerer from Egg and together they raised two sons Markus (1969) and Christian (1972) and a daughter, Simone (1979).

In the same year, he expanded the café into a restaurant with approximately 70 seats and a hotel with 8 modern double rooms.

1980

Fritz Reich dismantled the old forest residential house.

At the same time, the "Alte Post" hotel was built, as it still stands in some parts to this day. At that time, 3 double rooms and 2 spacious hotel suites were built.

1990

The outdated restaurant was renovated.

1995

Son Christian took over the "Alte Post" hotel, which was getting on in years at the time, and renovated it bit by bit until 2000, when the first major renovation of the old building was due.

In 1996 the hotel specialised in accommodating motorcyclists.

1998

Christian Reich and Nicole Fechtig married and soon David (1998) and Celine (1999) completed the family.

2004

In 2004, the hotel was expanded to what would form today's Hotel Post. An indoor swimming pool with a spacious wellness area, underground parking and 6 large family flats were built. This laid the foundation for the second specialisation "family hotel" with professional child care. In 2005 and 2006, all rooms in the main building were renovated.

2008

The new building was renovated again and an additional 4 junior suites and 3 family suites were created.

2011

In spring, a brand new Alpen Hotel Post was built in a record time of 3 months and 3 weeks. The main building was enlarged and renovated. The result was 21 top suites and rooms, a new kitchen, lobby, hotel bar, dining room and an authentic Bregenzerwälder Stube (Bregenzerwald Tavern), which offers a particularly cosy ambience for a la carte guests. Only local, genuine materials such as wood, stone, leather and metal were used in the renovation and new construction. Guests enjoy the new Alpine architectural style and so do your hosts Christian and Nicole.
