## Hotel Zur Post, a brief history

### The 19th-century coaching inn...

A restaurant with stables in the outbuildings existed at the **postal hotel of St. Vith** back in the mid 19th century. The hotel was destroyed in 1944 but was reconstructed after the war, reopening in 1950.

It is where Arno and Ingrid Pankert established their **gourmet restaurant** in the 1970s and gained an international reputation.
