After ten years of planning and construction, one of Europe's most talked about projects, the Widder Hotel, now a member of the "Leading Small Hotels of the World," opened its doors to guests. This magnificent hotel, located in the heart of Old Zurich, is a collection of ten ancient buildings, some dating back to the 11th century. After much thought and artistic genius, these buildings were transformed into the modern, elegant hotel that stands today with all the style and grace of a bygone era.
An astounding combination of old and new is the hallmark of this splendid urban hotel. Centuries-old stone walls are a magnificent, if rough, counterpoint to the smooth surfaces and clean lines of steel-and-glass fixtures. Imagine reclining in your hotel room (of which no two are alike) beside a fresco created between the 16th and 18th centuries. Perhaps you'd prefer admiring the baroque embellishments and highly polished wood surfaces of a wall and built-in dresser from the 13th century as you enjoy the comfort of your suite's leather sofa. Every room, no matter its individual character, is equipped with televisions, 3-line telephones, direct fax, CD player and personal safe. Furthermore, The Widder Hotel is the only hotel in Switzerland that has a Bang & Olufson Stereo in every room. Delicate floral arrangements, reminiscent of Japanese Ikebana, are placed in each room as a personal welcome from your hosts. Your well being and privacy are the staff's prime concerns. Quality, attention to detail, and the highest level of service are standards at this exclusive hotel.
Though passersby scarcely notice that the Widder is a hotel, worldwide business travelers have more than a passing familiarity with the hotel's state-of-the-art business facilities. There are seven meeting rooms (accommodating from 2 to 200 persons). Three restaurants, an extensive wine cellar, the most popular bar in town (which offers live jazz), a large library and a soothing outdoor garden create a delightful haven for both leisure and business guests.
The hotel's remarkable architecture, combined with luxurious accommodations and impeccable service, awaits the discerning traveler. |
