The story

The company was founded in London in 1965 by Bruno Franzen (1942-2017) and Werner Frey under the company name Swiss Chalets and was renamed Interhome in 1977 following a merger. The company was also known for its attempt to establish a paperless office.

In 1984, the company logo with the ‘migratory bird’ was introduced, which has also served as the company's logo since 2008. Online bookings have been possible since 1999. In 2009, the proportion of online bookings was around 60 per cent. In 2011, Hotelplan announced the takeover of the German market leader Inter Chalet on 1 November 2013. In 2015, Interhome celebrated its 50th anniversary. In the same year, the company headquarters in Switzerland took 6th place in the ‘Swiss Employer Awards’ in the 50-99 employee category.
