Only the name reminds us of the military. This historic hotel is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland. Each room is different; all are individually and lovingly furnished with original 1960s furniture and offer an above-average amount of space. The location of the hotel is also unique. Quiet yet central. The old town and all sights such as the monastery and abbey library are just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel's own restaurant with a large chestnut garden and a view of the Kreuzbleiche green space spoils you with exclusively homemade, seasonal dishes. The Hotel Militärkantine is a hospitality house and a meeting place for people who value design, enjoyment, sustainability, culture, social responsibility and respect for nature. Everything here is a little different, a little more individual, a little more hospitable and a lot more personal. Free parking, free use of our e-bikes (subject to availability), free WiFi, private children's playground, free public transport tickets for 3 zones, iPad in the room. St.Gallen with its UNESCO cultural heritage is the ideal starting point for hikes and excursions of all kinds. The Säntis is only 32 km away, the Dornbirn trade fair (Austria) only 37 km away. By train you can reach Konstanz (D) in half an hour. The nearest airport is St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport, 22 km from the Militärkantine St.Gallen accommodation. Zurich Airport can be reached by train in an hour. With the free Mobility Ticket you can be at Lake Constance in 20 minutes.
