The Hotel:
Hotel Greulich is a "DesignHotel" located close to the centre of Zurich (Switzerland) and is named after Herman Greulich, a Polish social reformer who emigrated to Switzerland and founded the first Socialist Party of Switzerland (the hotel is situated on the corner of Herman-Greulich Strasse).
On arrival, my wife and I were a bit disappointed with the building from the outside. Although it was a unusual and cool exterior design, it looked like it needed sprucing up a bit. The windows on the 1st floor and above looked quite old, etc. but at ground floor level, it did look "Design", with a modern looking bar and restaurant.

Driving to the hotel being only slightly less dangerous than facing a pride of half-starved lions in the amphitheatre, we ...
Advantages: Position, clean, secure parking Disadvantages: Old fashioned
