Together with the illustrations by Markus Roost, it is a beautiful book.<\/p>\n<p>It tells of lovers and disturbed people, of peculiar regulars and obscure hotel ghosts, of idiosyncratic staff such as a gnarled hotel cabinet maker, an overly imaginative chambermaid or a four-legged hotel king who prefers to hold court while lying down.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c1ef08 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1c1ef08\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebcf7ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ebcf7ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Richard Reich, born in 1961, worked for many years as a newspaper editor specializing in sports, culture, and society.

Expanded in 1895 by the Zurich office of Chiodera &amp; Tschudy, is an excellent example of the hotel boom in a time of rising tourism. With its figurative decorative paintings, it fits in with the stylistically and technically rich work of the Milanese artist Antonio De Grada (1858-1938).<\/p>\n<p>The figurative and floral decorative paintings are directly related to Zurich villas and Northern Italian sacred buildings. As early as the 1870s, the Engadin was both a point of reference and a place of work for the artist; not least because of his close friendship with his childhood friend Giovanni Segantini.
