Hotel post Hotel Post was a service offered by remote Swiss hotels for the carriage of mail to the nearest official post office. == Origins ==
In the nineteenth century, Switzerland developed an important tourist industry. Guests enjoyed Alpine air and spas at hotels in remote areas that were not serviced by the Swiss Post Office. Some of these hotels offered a service to guests of carrying their mail to the nearest official post office for a fee paid by the purchase of a specially printed stamp. The first hotel stamp was issued by ''Rigi Kaltbad'' in 1864, followed by hotels at ''Rigi Scheideck'', ''Belalp'', ''Kurort Stoos'', ''Maderanerthal'' and ''Rigi Kulm''.〔Sutton, R.J. ''The Stamp Collector's Encyclopaedia'', Stanley Paul, London, 1966 edition, p.145.〕
