Fleischers Hotell can trace its history back to 1865, when international tourism began to make its mark on the community. The present building in the Swiss style was constructed in 1889. For more than a hundred years it has received guests from all corners of the world. The Fleischer family, who owns the hotel, also owns Grovendal, the neighbouring farm at Vangsvatnet. J.S.Fleischer was appointed district recorder in Hardanger and Voss in 1733. He bought Grovendal in 1760 and moved to Voss some years later. Later on, the family took over the property on which the hotel was built. Today it is one of the few hotels in the Swiss style still surviving, and is still in full operation.

Frå gamalt av har Vossevangen vore eit knutepunkt, der reisande kunne få mat og husly. På 1600-talet fekk bygda faste gjestgjevarar, men herberga var ofte tarvelege. Det betra seg etter kvart, og i 1844 skreiv Hans Konow om Vossevangen: «Man har et særdeles hyggeligt kvarter, det bedste mellom Christiania og Bergen.»
