Scene
Trendy hotel with hip, colorful interiors
The 25hours Hotel Zurich West is a trendy hotel with exuberant interior designs created by Alfredo Haberli. A fountain sits at the entrance of the six-floor hotel, which looks like a nondescript office building from the outside, but offers interiors doused in color and funky decor. Slinky red lights hang from the ceiling in the lobby, while an adjoining lounge area is filled with colorful mod chairs and sofas complemented by a round rug in rainbow hues. The space is full of natural light courtesy of a wall of windows. Stylish hallways feature large windows that overlook an interior courtyard with a ping-pong table on a hot pink rug. Colorful cartoon murals brighten up the lobby elevator bank, where Swatch watches are encased on the wall. Such quirky details are peppered throughout the hotel and create a youthful vibe.
Location
Located in West Zurich’s business district
The hotel is located in District Five on a busy multi-lane street that’s surrounded by offices and apartment buildings. A bar, cafe, and market are across the street, as well as the Toni-Areal tram station, which gives access to the Old Town in about 20 minutes and such sights as Saint Peter’s Church, the Swiss National Museum, Grossmunster, Town Hall, and high-end shopping on the Bahnhofstrasse. Alternatively, guests can use the free bicycles that are offered by the hotel and take the riverside trail that goes to Old Town in about 15 minutes. A walk along the Limmat River leads to Lake Zurich, with boat cruises departing from the main pier. Uetliberg mountain is an hour by tram, offering city views and hikes. Zurich Airport takes 25 minutes by public transportation or 15 minutes by car.
