The DNA: Marktgasse Hotel, located in Zurich’s Old Town is a unique and vibrant triangle of tradition, modern design, and perfect simplicity. The hotel is housed within a Swiss landmark, one of the oldest inns of the city, dating back to the 15th century. Rooms feature a Scandi-luxe interior design with parquet floors and exceptional attention to detail. Guests can refill water carafes they’ll find in their rooms at a spring water tap on each floor. The hotel has a bistro-style restaurant, deli and cocktail bar.
