# Hip new Design Hotel “25hours” in Zurich-West

> The 25hours Hotel in Zurich-West is a design hotel conceived by Argentine-born Zurich designer Alfredo Häberli, known for funky colors, local references, and a young, creative atmosphere.

## Destination
Zurich-West (Zürich West), Switzerland, next to the Toni Areal tram station.

## Getting there
Tram number 4 stops directly outside at the Toni Areal station.

## What to see
- **Hotel Bar** — Features mirrors shaped like Lake Zurich islands with boats, a red neon sculpture, and coins embedded in the floor.
- **Häberli Suite** — The hotel's only suite, named after designer Alfredo Häberli, with a freestanding bathtub in the middle of the room.
- **Kitchen Club** — First-floor event venue with a top-end Bulthaup kitchen for private dinners.
- **Lobby Library** — A joint venture with the nearby Sphere bookstore; also serves as a small live music stage.
- **Rooftop Sauna** — Offers an elevated view over Zurich-West and the rail tracks near the central train station.

## What to do
- **BMW Mini Excursions** — Hotel guests can borrow BMW Minis for excursions around the city.
- **Daily Breakfast Buffet** — An abundant, brunch-like breakfast buffet served every morning in the hotel bar; free for guests, CHF 25 for outside visitors.

## Good to know
Platinum and Silver category rooms feature bright colors and bathroom openings into the room — privacy blinds are available on request. Gold rooms have more subdued tones. A quick breakfast option is available for CHF 9.
