B2 Boutique Hotel + Spa · Zurich, Switzerland

Hotel staff, at once professional and charming, are quick to greet guests, setting an atmosphere of warmth and wellbeing. Once checked in, guests are guided through the hotel’s corridors to one of 60 rooms or eight suites—the latter being situated in the former cooling hall, a row of terrace ‘houses within a house’, built to be completely detached from the imposing steel structure that serves as their shell. In this way, the former brewery’s industrial character comes to the fore, enchanting in its grand scale and clever adaptation. Inside the rooms, the use of rich oak wood, neutral-toned materials and subdued lighting create an atmosphere of modern luxury, inviting visitors to the city to relax, unwind and bask in the presence of the building’s uniquely captivating past.
