The hype
Travelers love the design and the incredible gym access, but often wish it was closer to the lake or city center.
The Home Hotel Zurich - a member of DESIGN HOTELS
$200-350/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want a stylish, high-energy base with a killer gym and direct mall access, and you don't mind taking a tram to the Old Town.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Direct access to the massive Fitnesspark Sihlcity (included in rate)
- Quirky 'Dada-inspired' interiors that feel less sterile than typical Swiss business hotels
- The 'Signature' rooms come with kitchenettes, perfect for longer stays
Pikakatsaus: A visually loud, fun hotel stuck inside a shopping mall complex—great for convenience and fitness, less so for charming cobblestone views.
Arvioinut @daydrooler: I fell in love with the eclectic vibe here. It used to be a paper mill, so the character is insane. The tram stop right outside made exploring Zurich a breeze, and ending the day by that open fireplace was pure magic. Definitely not your average boring hotel.

Reality check
The 'river view' is nice, but the 'mall view' is exactly what it sounds like—looking at a concrete shopping complex.
- You are a fitness junkie (the gym access is world-class)
- You appreciate bold, maximalist design over beige luxury
- You are in Zurich for business and need a coworking space (Office LAB is nearby)
