Nestled in a repurposed 19th-century brewery, B2 Hotel Zurich is where history, design, and book-lover dreams collide. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a stunning library lounge with towering bookshelves filled with over 33,000 books, creating an atmosphere that feels like a mix of a Wes Anderson film and an old-world literary haven.
The warm lighting, dark wood furnishings, and a chandelier made from hundreds of recycled beer bottles give this space a uniquely sophisticated charm. Whether you’re here for a cozy reading session, a stylish stay, or just a photogenic moment, B2 Hotel is a hidden gem in Zurich that merges intellectual charm with industrial history.
