The DNA: A long time DNA Hotels’ favourite, the Widder has it all: authenticity, luxury, boutique-sized, gourmet food, designer furniture, art, Swiss perfection, we could go on and on. It is located in a tranquil location of Zurich’s Old Town, and set in 9 adjacent, carefully renovated (it took ten years to complete) medieval houses. Furniture and various objects by 20th-century artists including Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Adolf Loos and are combined with paintings and sculptures by Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and others. The Widder Kitchen & Bar is the fine dining shared dishes restaurant where Switzerland meats the world. Zur Schtund is an informal tavern which hosts a new pop-up restaurant each month. At August, enjoy the finest cuts, sausages and long-neglected parts of the animal. The Widder Garage is an offbeat venue to drink and dance well into the night. In summer, guests can also dine in the courtyard. All of the spacious and luxurious guest rooms and suites contain traces of a history stretching back over 700 years. Painted ceiling beams, ornate stone intarsia and antique furniture are combined with modern design classics.
