Tradition & Hospitality
Our story begins in 1876, when F.W. Margraff and Barbara Terren founded a cozy inn with a bakery and confectionery. In 1924, their daughter Therese Margraff and her husband Franz Pip took over the business, leading to the double name PIP-MARGRAFF.
Like many others in St. Vith, our house has experienced turbulent times. After several expansions, it was destroyed during the war in December 1944. However, we were not discouraged: reconstruction began in 1951, and by 1952, we were able to reopen our hotel-restaurant. Under the dedicated leadership of F.W. Pip and Maria Probst, later supported by their children, our establishment became what it is today.
In 1983, Franz Pip and his wife Monique Gilman took the helm and expanded the hotel to include a hall, additional guest rooms, and a wellness area. Today, our hotel is managed by Tanja, Sandra, and Ronny Pip in the fifth generation. We are proud to be one of the most traditional businesses in St. Vith.
In recent years, we have carried out extensive renovations to provide our guests and employees with a pleasant and contemporary environment. Our goal is to create a place where families, friends, and all guests feel completely at home.
