Who we are
Interhome has been in the holiday rental business for over 45 years - and today we're a leading provider of holiday homes and apartments in all of Europe. Thanks to Interhome, each year over 500,000 guests find their perfect holiday home. With more than 46,000 holiday properties in 26 countries, Interhome makes all holiday dreams come true: whether it's a villa, chalet or an apartment, in the mountains or by the sea, in the heart of a city or in the countryside. The secret to our success is simple: many years of experience.
Read about important milestones in our corporate history, from 1965 on:
- 1965 Swiss tourism pioneers Bruno Franzen and Werner Frey founded the company «Swiss Chalets» in London.
- 1977 «Swiss Chalets» joined forces with another holiday home specialist to form Interhome AG.
- 1984 The logo with the migrating bird was introduced. It symbolises holidays and freedom and is still used today.
- 1989 Interhome AG was taken over by Hotelplan, Switzerland's second-largest tourism business and subsidiary of retail giant Migros.
- 1998 Interhome was one of the first companies in its field to go online; by 1999 clients were actively booking via the internet.
- 2005 Simon Lehmann took the wheel as CEO of Interhome AG, which by that time had established itself as a Europe-wide holiday home rental business.
- 2007 Interhome's online presence was completely redesigned and is continually enhanced with useful tips, additional information and service deals. The company now offers accommodation in 24 countries that can be booked from anywhere in the world.
Interhome was entirely rebranded and launched its fresh new look on 1 March 2008. The migrating bird is still the Interhome trademark. And Interhome is still driven by the same pioneering spirit that brought it into being 45 years ago.
