# Thermal Bath & Spa, Wellness in Zurich’s Hürlimann Brewery Areal

> The Thermal Bath & Spa Zürich is a wellness oasis set inside the historic Hürlimann brewery in central Zurich, featuring mineral thermal baths, a rooftop pool with city views, and an Irish-Roman spa ritual.

## Destination
Hürlimann Areal, Zurich, Switzerland — a former brewery converted into a spa and hotel complex in the middle of the city.

## When to go
The article does not specify seasonal recommendations.

## Why visit
A rare urban spa experience combining historic stone-vaulted brewery architecture with thermal mineral water, a rooftop pool overlooking Zurich's rooftops, and an indulgent two-hour Irish-Roman spa ritual.

## What to see
- **Stone-vaulted spa interior** — Historic brewery vaults styled simply but elegantly, with chandeliers giving a faintly oriental atmosphere.
- **Rooftop thermal pool** — The headline feature — an outdoor pool on the roof deck with panoramic views over Zurich.
- **B2 Boutique Hotel & Spa** — Opened March 2012 in the same Hürlimann Areal; blends modern design with old brewery pumps, valves, cooling towers, and a library of thousands of hand-picked antique books.

## What to do
- **Irish-Roman Spa Ritual** — A two-hour circuit (small extra charge) progressing through steam bath, sea buckthorn scrub, herbal steam bath, Roman and kinotherapeutic baths, and a final lounge session with snacks and Prosecco.
- **Thermal bathing** — Soak in large wooden vats filled with mineral water from the Aqui spring, with massage jets, bubble mats, whirlpools, steam room, emerald bath, and Kneipp zone.
- **Rooftop lounge** — Top-floor lounge-restaurant serving healthy snacks, sweets, and wine alongside the rooftop pool.

## Good to know
Prices and opening hours are listed on the Thermal Bath's official website. The B2 Boutique Hotel suites are split-floor duplex apartments; guests can check rates and availability online.
