The Home Hotel Zürich: Where Industry Meets Imagination
An industrial landmark reimagined with Dada spirit and design bravado
From Paper Mill to Playground
Set on the banks of the Sihl, The Home Hotel Zürich occupies a former paper mill whose towering brick chimney still punctuates the skyline. Inside, however, a new story unfolds: one of art, provocation, and playful transformation. Walnut panels, surreal lighting, and copper velvet soften the industrial bones, while sculptural columns sprout greenery in a nod to Zürich’s avant-garde heritage.
The Factory Gets Personal
Original stonework and raw lines remain, but the interiors refuse to stay utilitarian. Inspired by the city’s Dadaist legacy, design choices lean into surprise—graphical wallpapers, eccentric layouts, and idiosyncratic details that bend convention. Each corner feels like a visual experiment, softened by tactile textures and layered with character.
A Bar with Its Own Beat
More than a lounge, the Home Bar is a local haunt and a cultural stage. Evenings flow unpredictably: DJ sets, comedy nights, raw bar delicacies, and spontaneous dance floors. Drinks are crafted with the same offbeat precision—hand-poured cocktails, Swiss wines, and gourmet-rustic bites that riff on tradition while rewriting the script.
Rooms That Refuse to Conform
Upstairs, the narrative continues. Guestrooms are crafted spaces rather than standardized templates: bold colors, bespoke furnishings, and layouts that feel intentionally unconventional. Comfort, however, is never compromised—king-sized beds and deeply cozy mattresses anchor the design flair with grounded ease.
DNA Hotels Verdict
The Home Hotel Zürich is industrial heritage reinvented with wit, warmth, and Dada mischief. It celebrates structure while subverting it, creating a stay that is as imaginative as it is comfortable. More than a hotel, it’s a gathering place for creativity—where a factory’s past collides with Zürich’s cultural present. For travelers seeking something unexpected, this is where the city’s contradictions come vividly alive.
