Welcome to the Central Sporthotel Davos
150 years of hospitality welcomes you!
Dear guests,
Our story, or rather the story of the Central Sporthotel, begins around 1870: Mathias Vetsch, our great-great-grandfather, runs a mill on the Tobelbach stream together with his wife, Anna-Katharina, née Buol. He himself is a wine merchant and muleteer and brings the grain for the mill over the Flüela Pass, where it is milled and sold in Davos. Naturally, he has a capable wife and a family to help him run the mill while he travels over the passes with his horses. It is the beginning of the era of sanatoriums in Davos and Mathias and Anna-Katharina recognize the development and opportunities that are beginning to emerge with the many new health hotels. They noticed that there was a demand for overnight beds from guests who were not suffering from lung disease. So in 1874, the Tobelmühle, which until then had only offered one or two rooms for passers-by, was converted into a hotel, a "Villa Tobelmühle".
The 861 kg millstone, which today stands in our corridor to the dining hall as a kind of contemporary witness, was walled in for 109 years until it was found in 1983/84, when the hotel was demolished and rebuilt.
Since it began 150 years ago, the "Villa Tobelmühle" has been rebuilt and extended several times and has been transformed over time into the Central Sporthotel. Just as Davos has changed from a farming village to an international high-altitude health resort and later a vacation and congress destination, the Central with its sporty guests has always adapted to the spirit of the times.
Today we are delighted to celebrate our anniversary and look forward to welcoming you, dear guests!
Sincerely
Patricia Guyan, 5th generation hostess
