Altes Spital Solothurn as per records dates back to the 14th Century. It was erected as a hospital but in 1734 became an orphanage, only to become a hostel for talented artists in the late 18th Century. It underwent a lot of change in its structure during these times as it was still a working hospice with a huge west wing for other uses. However with the emergence of a new hospital in 1930, it fell into disrepair. In 1984 it was restored by the local municipality and converted the west wing into a beautiful convention and cultural center. The remaining complex is now a hotel and restaurant which is linked to this place.

The small and smoke-filled basement is dedicated to music; loud music to be precise. If you're still into punk then look no further. The restaurant is fairly inexpensive and the menu is full of unusual dishes. On Sundays breakfast is served right through the afternoon.
