The Home Hotel Zurich: 70s vibe and urban charm
With the opening of The Home Hotel, Zurich has welcomed a new member to the Design Hotels family. An exciting new addition that stands out above all for its bold mix of materials and furniture and clearly focuses on the style of the 70s. While the furnishings are sure to attract some attention, there is also a sense that the hotel perhaps relies a little too much on retro details when it comes to decoration. Nevertheless, The Home offers an interesting mix for anyone who wants to experience the flair of past decades in a modern ambience.
The interior of The Home features a bold mix of materials: everything from warm woods and plush fabrics to shiny surfaces and rich colors. The furniture looks as if it has come straight out of a 70s magazine. According to the hotel, it draws on elements of Dadaism, an art movement characterized by its rejection of traditional aesthetics and its preference for breaks and contradictions. This Dadaist approach is reflected in the bold combinations, which may seem unusual at first glance, but make the interior an exciting experience.
Although the set offers an interesting variety of textures and colors, a certain restraint is perhaps missing in some places. Where less would sometimes be more, The Home relies on visual opulence. But it is precisely this deliberate transgression of boundaries, which the hotel pursues by borrowing from Dadaism, that gives the style a bold and independent touch. This positions The Home as something quite unique in Zurich hotel design.
What does it actually mean to create a home - especially in a hotel? A home is more than just a place, it is a feeling of security, familiarity and personal comfort. It is a space where you can relax, be yourself and meet your individual needs. This is precisely the challenge facing a hotel like The Home, which aims to offer its guests not just accommodation, but a "temporary home".
It is particularly exciting and demanding to create this feel-good character in a hotel that accommodates guests with a wide variety of requirements and expectations. From business travelers looking to relax after a long day to city tourists returning from a day full of new impressions - The Home must be a place that offers security, comfort and coziness for everyone.
Especially in a hotel, it is an art to do justice to this feeling. It is the small details that count: the choice of materials, the arrangement of the furniture, the color scheme and, last but not least, the atmosphere created by the staff. The loving design of the rooms also plays a special role. For example, a wall of shelves with 'objets trouvés' and beautiful books, which looks like a large box, reminds us of our own collected memories. These personal touches convey a sense of familiarity and make guests feel at home - a retreat that is both inspiring and inviting.
The hotel's location is certainly another element that sets The Home apart from other Zurich hotels. In contrast to the charming old town hotels, it is embedded in a modern shopping center with an adjacent cinema complex, restaurants and stores. This urban location offers clear advantages for business travelers and companies who appreciate good connections and a wide range of leisure activities. However, those looking for the romantic flair of the old town will find modern comfort here.
Despite the urban surroundings, The Home conveys the feeling of a retreat. The cozy rooms invite you to snuggle up in the soft armchairs after a long day and relive the 70s. Those who are enthusiastic about this style will appreciate the details and the mix of materials - even if some people may long for a little less decoration and more calm in the design.
