About Ruth Guler

Lived 1930 – 2015 (aged 84). Ruth Guler was a Swiss athlete.

Ruth Guler (8 November 1930 – 10 February 2015) was a Swiss skier and hotelier, who ran the Hotel Wynegg in the skiing resort of Klosters, Switzerland. Her hotel was regularly visited by members of the British royal family.

Biography Guler was born and grew up in Klosters, and her parents owned the Wynegg.

Guler was known for her no-nonsense approach to hotel management. The playwright Robert L. Joseph described her as "diva-like". Though royalty stayed at the Wynegg regularly, she treated them no different from any other guest, saying that "otherwise, they'd tear the place down". She loved the British sense of humour, particularly its eccentricity, and despite her stern demands she was popular with regular guests including the royals.

In 2013, due to ill health, Guler retired from managing the Wynegg, leaving the running to three locals, a popular choice in Klosters. She died on 10 February 2015, having never married and without children.
