Park Hyatt Zurich: A review of Park Hyatt
This sleek, six-story hotel is the latest addition to the Park Hyatt brand. Designed by the Zurich architectural firm Meili & Peter, the building is entirely sheathed in glass and steel, which is meant to allude to the Swiss design precision. The lobby's ceiling is made from a series of translucent glass panels embedded with money leaves, representing Zurich's banking status. Guest rooms are light and airy, featuring huge windows and cherry wood furniture. Special opening rates start at 450 Swiss francs per night for a double room ($391). -- Forbes
The 142-room, very contemporary, Park Hyatt Zurich is located in the city’s prestigious financial and commercial district, across from the Zurich Congress Centre and near the fashionable Bahnhofstrasse, the pedestrianise street with a lively nightlife, Zurich Lake, Zürich Kongresshaus and Zurich's Old Town. The Zurich Unique International Airport, Kloten is 20 minutes away and is easiest reached by taxi; fares from the airport to the centre of Zurich vary from 50 to 65CHF. The metro or Zurich Hauptbahnhof is 5 minutes away.
Newly built, modern and stylish, Park Hyatt Zurich combines ultra-modern architecture and technology with the latest comfort amenities in hotel room design. Meili & Peter Architekten melded transparent elements like glass with external greenery and an abundance of natural light to create a fusion of indoor and outdoor, urban and natural. The interior design concept was created by Hirsch, Bedner Associates, USA.
Park Hyatt Zurich has a health club with a gym, a stylish but informal 100-seater restaurant, the Parkhuus, and the Onyx Bar, which has its own separate street entrance. The Lobby Lounge is a prime location for informal meetings. With its atrium-like high ceiling, it is open all day. It also offers more than 1000 sq m of meeting space for seminars, banquets and private dining events for up to 350 people. Facilities include a ballroom, divisible into three soundproofed rooms, four meeting rooms and a boardroom.
