The general manager of Qatari-owned The Hotel Schweizerhof Bern, Michael Thomann, has been named Hotelier of the Year by Swiss business magazine Bilanz. The 150-year-old hotel, which is owned by Katara Hospitality Ltd., reopened in June 2011, following a two-year refurbishment. Katara Hospitality Switzerland AG managing director Bruno H. Schöpfer said: "It was not an easy task for general manager Michael Thomann, who together with his young team spared no effort during the last months to breathe new life into a legendary establishment that is rich in tradition.” The property has 99 rooms and suites, as well as an 800m² conference and business centre, ballroom and 500m² spa. In the past, the hotel has welcomed guests such as Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor.
