From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring B2 Hotel Zürich.

Use it as a base for a slow city stay rather than a quick stop; the library lounge and spa connection are part of the appeal.
If you are not staying overnight, come for a meal, coffee or drink and spend time in the main lounge rather than rushing through.
Public transport is the easiest way to arrive; driving in central Zürich is less convenient than taking transit or a taxi.
The building’s industrial heritage is most visible in the interior architecture, so daylight visits make the brickwork and volumes stand out.

Getting There

Public Transport

The most practical approach from central Zürich; allow roughly 10 to 20 minutes depending on your starting point and connections.
Taxi or Rideshare

Useful for luggage, late arrivals or spa-focused stays; travel time from the centre is usually short in normal traffic.
On Foot

Realistic if you are already in Enge or the nearby lakeside districts; less convenient from farther parts of the city.
Airport Transfer

Zürich Airport is a straightforward city transfer, with the journey typically taking around half an hour to a little over that.

What it is

B2 Hotel Zürich is a 4-star boutique hotel and event venue built into the former Hürlimann brewery on Brandschenkestrasse in the Enge district. Its identity rests on adaptive reuse: old industrial fabric, tall windows and heavy masonry have been turned into a contemporary hotel with a strong design focus. The property is best understood as an urban retreat rather than a conventional tourist attraction.

Atmosphere and setting

The setting is compact and largely indoors, with the city outside and a calm, premium interior world inside. The signature space is the library-style lounge, where shelves, reading tables and soft seating create a slower rhythm than most city hotels. Guests tend to linger here over coffee, breakfast, lunch or a glass of wine. The mood is warm, quiet and polished, with the brewery past still visible in the building’s structure and materials.

What visitors do here

Most people come to stay overnight, eat or drink in the library restaurant-bar area, work in coworking or meeting spaces, and use the adjacent spa and wellness facilities. That mix makes the hotel especially practical for business travellers, couples and design-minded visitors who want a place to spend time in, not just sleep in. The experience unfolds indoors and at an unhurried pace: check in, settle into the lounge, move between dining, reading and wellness, then return to the room or spa. It suits travellers who value atmosphere and comfort over sightseeing density.

History and practical context

The brewery heritage is the main cultural reference point. Zürich has a strong record of converting industrial buildings into hospitality and cultural spaces, and B2 Hotel is a clear example of that pattern. The location is straightforward to reach from central Zürich by public transport, taxi or on foot if you are already nearby. It is also a practical base for city stays because it works in all weather and does not depend on outdoor conditions. Expect a premium price level, a mostly adult-oriented crowd, and a stay that can range from a single meal or drink to one or two nights, or longer for business and wellness trips.
