This bathtub takes you out into the view.

Auberge aux 4 Vents

An old manor, a park and an ingenious piece of bathroom theatre: one room at Auberge aux 4 Vents has a bathtub that travels on rails towards the outdoors.

The experience

What makes this stay different?

The room is currently called La Belle Étoile. Its moving bath overlooks the park, while the inn’s other rooms have their own artistic interventions. Choose this room specifically if the travelling bathtub is your reason for coming.

Who would enjoy it?

Couples, art lovers and travellers seeking a playful Swiss escape.

Choose your room with care.

Older videos call the room Cupidon; use its current name when enquiring. Confirm the bath’s operation and the room’s suitability for your needs. The inn asks Sunday and Monday arrivals to arrange access in advance.

Stay a little longer.

Make time for Fribourg’s historic streets and views across the surrounding landscape.
