Seelandhotel Weisses Kreuz in der aufstrebenden Stadt Lyss

The Location

Note: The address provided does not correspond to the actual location of the company.

The location is in a well-established community in the Swiss Plateau. Its proximity to lakes, forests, and the Jura Mountains makes the region ideal for leisure and recreation. At the same time, its central location ensures that larger cities and important transportation hubs are within easy reach. This creates an environment that offers both peace and nature as well as access to urban amenities.

Thanks to direct connections to major transport routes and a regionally important railway station, the location is extremely well connected. Connections to national and international airports are also convenient.

The community is growing steadily, has stable residential construction activity, and benefits from solid economic development. These conditions create attractive prerequisites for operating an accommodation or catering business.

The Object

The company includes a traditional hotel and restaurant business with a long history and strong regional roots. Over the years, extensive renovations have been carried out on several occasions, resulting in the property now being in a well-maintained and functional condition.

The business comprises several restaurants, which are very popular with both the local population and hotel guests. The premises are suitable for a variety of events, from business meetings to private celebrations. The entire business has been successfully run by experienced tenants for a long time and enjoys an excellent reputation in the region.

The Rooms

The business comprises a spacious hotel and catering facility with several dining areas, versatile event rooms, and 33 guest rooms. The infrastructure covers both daily hotel and restaurant operations as well as larger events and conferences.

The basement houses various service and operating rooms such as storage areas, technical and cooling facilities, staff rooms, and a large parking facility.
The ground floor offers several restaurants, an extensive banquet and event wing, an outdoor terrace, a professional kitchen, and the reception area.

The upper floors feature flexible seminar and meeting rooms as well as a total of over 30 modern guest rooms, some with balconies. Some of the rooms have been renovated in recent years.

Redevelopment Potential of the Banquet Hal

Several years ago, the current ownership commissioned a feasibility study to evaluate the redevelopment potential of the existing banquet hall. The concept envisages the demolition of the banquet hall currently attached to the hotel and the construction of a new building, thereby expanding the hotel offering with approximately 25 to 30 additional guest rooms on the upper floors and new seminar facilities on the ground floor.

Alternatively, the new building could accommodate a mixed-use development comprising residential and commercial space. Under this scenario, commercial premises could be located on the ground floor, while the first and second floors, as well as the attic level, could provide space for 5 to 7 spacious apartments.
