Overview
After a construction phase lasting four years, Zurich celebrates the return of one of its most prominent landmarks. The original "Curhaus" (health spa), built in 1899, has been transformed into a luxury-class city resort. In the process, the hotel's glittering past and vibrant future have been fused together, as reflected in the architecture by Foster and Partners, the interior design by United Designers and the spa concept by Sylvia Sepielli. This is obvious the moment you see the bold lines of the extension and conversion carried out by the well-known architects Foster and Partners. They have restored the facade of the historic Main Building to its original state of 1899 and added two spectacular, sweeping wings: 173 luxurious rooms and suites, a spa covering some 4,000 square metres, first-class cuisine and generously proportioned banqueting and seminar facilities.
