B2 Hotel Zürich

Beautiful hotel, comfortable bedding and welcoming lounging space and bar in the lobby. Louisa and two others- well everyone, at the front desk were friendly and knowledgeable and helped me with restaurant and shopping recommendations and public transportation directions. You get to stay a little at the edge of the city at a peaceful place with a nice view of Zurich and the mountains, enjoying the roof top thermal pool with an amazing view of the city, but still be a twenty minute walk or a short tram ride into town and all it has to offer. It’s a very safe neighborhood with a few playgrounds close by, and a very kid friendly hotel. And parking was very easy and convenient. My daughter and I loved our stay, thank you.

It is our second stay here. We like it so much that I wrote a post about it on my blog. This is one of those place where every detail is to the highest standard. They welcome you with a drink while registering for check-in. From bedsheets to towels, everything in the room is of very high standard. The food is locally sourced. Amazing wines and cheese from Switzerland! The location is close to the center of Zurich and the lake! Both walking distance (about 15min). And the decor is very original and thought after.

A wonderful hotel, very conveniently located for the Google offices. The hotel itself is very nice, modern yet comfortable. The staff are outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they took excellent care of my and my guests in the lead up to, during and after our stay. I can highly recommend the B2 Zurich for a very enjoyable and comfortable experience. The spa is a real gem as well!

A very interesting hotel! It’s a pity that, instead of showcasing the wines, they don’t focus more on offering nice beers from various producers – in my opinion, that would suit the hotel better, especially since there used to be a brewery here. Everything was very friendly, and the reception was warm and welcoming. The rooms are quite nice, and the location is quiet – perfect for a relaxing stay. The F&B menu could be a bit more extensive. A special thanks to waiter Tino, who was very friendly and helpful. I would gladly return!

Super beautiful hotel, nice rooms. They have constructed a modern building inside an ancient industry, real impressive. And there’s a spa with hot pools at the top where you can see the city of Zurich, real amazing. The breakfast was kind of disappointing. Nothing special compared to the high level of this hotel. I ordered an omelet with cheese and jam, it took like 30 minutes and the waitress said few times that it was coming soon. Then it comes and there was no cheese nether jam, it was dry and really not good. Bread also nothing special. I think they have to work on the breakfast…..

This place is great. A lovely atmosphere with books everywhere, really nice friendly and helpful staff, nice rooms, really tasty food, and best of all attached to a spa with a rooftop pool and hot stone massages! This is now my favourite hotel in Switzerland.

The B2 hotel is a funky boutique hotel in Zürich. It is slightly off the beaten path, but quite accessible by train. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and pleasant. We found the suite to be comfortable and quite roomy. The breakfast and dinner in the library restaurant were quite good. We also took advantage of the amazing spa and rooftop infinity pool.

We truly loved our stay. The staff is outstanding, and the pool and baths add significant extra value. I highly recommend this hotel.

I can't say enough about how amazing this hotel is. This place is the epitome of what a boutique hotel should be. The staff is class act. The location is perfectly nestled away and still central enough to hit all the right places. The rooms are classy and designed like a 20 year old student protege designer had free hand to do whatever he wanted. The breakfast buffet is fantastic with cheese that I never tasted before and great Pastry selection. The pool and the underground Roman bathroom are a must. The roof top pool is one of the coolest rooftop pools you have ever been to in your life. I guarantee it ! The underground Roman baths are an unbelievable surprise ! In a nut shel this place is 6 stars

Their thermal bath and spa is something to take advantage of while in Zurich. I stopped at B2 Boutique + Spa after being a week in Europe and this was just what I needed to re-cool in the middle of the trip. Everyone is very polite here. You do have to pay to use the lockers (2 francs, given back to you when you leave), for the robes, and towels etc. I do like that once you check in, you get a bracelet that you can scan to utilize the facilities, as well as charge your expenses to - including the cafeteria! My favorite spot had to be the rooftop pool. It's a gorgeous view and very relaxing. I would love to find a place like this back home. Not super crowded on a weekday, and definitely a hit with couples. They do not allow phones here, but I still managed to snap a picture or two of myself on the roof and in the spa. Staff will call you out if they see your phone but there were also plenty of people snapping photos when no one was looking. It does seem pretty invasive in this serene environment, but they can't blame you for wanting to capture the beauty! The thermal baths and the steam rooms smell of lavender and other herbs. It is really a great place to renew your energy! Loved coming here and would definitely come back.

Had a great experience here. Loved the rooftop pool and service was fantastic, especially Hajro at the front desk. He was so friendly and excellent at his job; providing helpful information, even helped us with dinner recommendations and reservations.

This is the best place to stay while visiting or working in Zurich! The staff is extraordinary! They are all so helpful, nice, and friendly. They are always able to help with last minute booking changes, restaurant suggestions, and even let us borrow a jacket when one of our teammates forgot his and had to go buy one. The spa is top notch and hotel guests are treated to complimentary access to the rooftop pool every morning from 7:30-9:00am. It is SO WORTH IT to wake up and watch the sun rise over Zurich, even if it is snowing on your face. The pool is super clean and the spa below in the Thermalbad is UNREAL! Definitely worth checking out. The Library is their exquisite room reminiscent of something found in Beauty & the Beast and you can get food most hours there. Hotel guests are treated to a complimentary breakfast every morning with fresh egg options, fresh fruits and juices, cheeses and meats, assortment of breads, and whatever warm beverage can kick your day off right. The rooms are clean and simple and perfect for any guest! The hotel is quiet, beautiful, and is only a quick walk away from the train station and lake. The BEST!

Excellent boutique hotel. Spacious rooms. Clean. Friendly service.

This is not a 5 star hotel BUT great business traveling location. The rooms accommodate the business traveler, super bandwidth (WiFI), a small fridge with drinks including 1 beer to end the day, great spa pool in basement, another great pool on the roof with great view of Zurich but the real gem is the library area where I always get a lovely glass of wine and cheese plate.

Do you want to chat with a friend in private? It's summer time, a warm suffocating day and you wish you could find a fresh and cosy bar? It is early in the morning, the bars are still closed and you need a quiet place to spend hours working on your laptop? I've found the right spot for you: the Library of the B2 Boutique Hotel +Spa in the former Hürlimann brewery. The Library is an inviting place for business meetings, chilling out, chatting, surfing, flirting and networking ... Simply amazing and inspiring. Over there is the breakfast served and the wine bar offers all day long (until 11.30pm) a small range of light dishes and beverages with local wines and of course the legendary Hürlimann beer. The hotel has 2 boardrooms and 60 rooms of various categories: Standard, Executive, Junior Suite and Suite. Each one of them is unique and is decorated with a stylish industrial character. As external guest you cannot enjoy it, but the must for hotel guests is the direct access to the spa. Of course, for an expert of Swiss thermal baths as I am, I've already tested it and it is indeed absolutely unique. I love the archaic barrel vaults of the former brewery and the inner decoration is a beauty, but most of all it is the fantastic 360° view over the city of Zurich from the roof pool that makes me every time speechless! Don't you?

Best spa my wife and I have ever been to, and incredibly friendly and helpful staff! The wine library is an incredible setting for dinner. 12/10 would recommend and will annoyingly tell all my friends about it until they go.

It's my 2nd time here. August 2012 (3 weeks), last week of Oct 2013 (1 week). I love this hotel. The room is really nice and clean with up to date amenities. The staff are always helpful and smiling, special mention to Isabell who really helped me out during my stay here. She even suggested to box my breakfast if I want so I can bring it to my train since I have to live at around 740a (breakfast starts at 730a). You should try the spa, it's all worth it as you can use it for 24h. Always the best! Will recommend and will come back. PS - Oh this year they provided us with a free drink in the library/bar and a free hurlimann beer everyday in our room ref. That's nice!

Amazing hotel. The spa is the best I've been to. Numerous thermal pools, very spacious. I will be back everyday during my stay. Also the service is so good.

I'm giving the B2 4 stars based mostly on the hotel's proximity to my company's office in Zurich. While the hotel is very nice and the rooms well appointed, if a little small (which is mostly the case in basic European hotels) there isn't much else of note here. The bar is virtually non-existent, with just two chairs and a limited selection of beer, wine and spirits. Speaking of limited, both the dining menu and the breakfast buffet is very sparse. Perhaps my biggest knock on the B2 is the fact that they charge an additional CHF25 for access to the spa area. For the CHF315 per night I'm spending, I would expect to swim and soak in a hot tub for free. Next time I'm in Zurich, I'll stay at the Sheraton Four Points or the Marriott.

This hotel is a cross between a library and a hotel. There are books everywhere. Books on shelves in the lobby. Books in the hotel rooms. Tables made out of books. Staff is friendly and helpful. I loved the atmosphere. The rooms were nice and mine didn't feel like it was a stock hotel room, as is often the case in larger hotels. My room had a modern widescreen T.V., a desk and a large modern bathroom. It also (of course) had its own custom collection of books

EDIT: Original posting below, but want to thank Nina for reaching out to me while I was still at the hotel. She remedied the situation with the corkage fee and chatted with me about the rest of my review. Extremely professional and courteous! To add to my review -- the hotel itself is quite lovely and unique! The rooms were beautiful. And the chicken caesar salad I ordered from the restaurant was also really good. Nina also explained that part of the reason for the small menu is intentional -- they only use local, in-season produce and try to stay authentic to the atmosphere of the hotel. Seems totally reasonable :) Overall, great customer service easily makes up for the minor issue I had. Looking forward to staying here again! ### Original review ### This is specifically for the restaurant (FYI - the check-in, hotel room, etc., service, etc., I'd easily rate 4-5 stars). I was underwhelmed and then disappointed. In terms of being underwhelmed, it's a very small menu for lunch and dinner (and it's the same menu for lunch and dinner), so good luck if you end up needing to eat at the hotel twice in one day. I ordered the NY style cheesecake -- it was anything but. It was OK, but definitely not NY-style (wrong taste, wrong consistency, wrong flavor, served wrong, wrong crust, wrong type of cheese used...). The burger, however, was pretty good. I came down one afternoon, around 1500, no one was around. I had brought down a bottle of wine I had bought. Asked them to open it and if I could camp out and work. No problem... well, 1 glass later, I was informed there was a problem. A $25 corkage fee problem. Very disappointing they didn't disclose this -- especially when there was no one else around. It's not like I was taking business from them - I got a wine they don't serve (because they have a terrible wine selection) and I'm staying at their hotel and wanted a place to work and sip on some wine. If they had an alternative place, I would have worked there.

Great spa in the basement. Expensive -- better to stay here on a business trip than on your own dollar.
