The hotel, built in 1889, has been owned and managed by the Manz
family for over a century. Recently refurbished, modernized and
enlarged with great attention to details, it can be considered a
true architectural achievement in itself and one of the leading
business hotels today in Zurich. A 5-floor building, with 143
spacious rooms, comfortable lobby and 3 restaurants, it meets all
the expectations of the demanding traveller. Caspar Manz, the
founders grandson, established the famous Lobster and Oyster Bar in
1935 and since then it has been a culinary institution amongst
gastronomic circles. Pleasant piano live music will welcome for the
