Hotel Rivington & Sons

The Hotel Rivington & Sons is very un-Zurich-like – but in the very best sense. The cosmopolitan grandeur of this bar makes guests feel more as if they are in a former speakeasy in the Lower East Side in New York than in Zurich’s Kreis 5 district.

A heavy wooden bar dating from 1930, dark timber paneling with brass details, opulent clouds of white curtains, and a ceiling decorated with large, shabby-chic tiles all go towards creating the perfect setting to enjoy one of the expertly composed cocktails.

During the day, the place is not as subduely lit, but is still just as beautiful. Whether you come here for a coffee or lunch, the ambiance at the Hotel Rivington & Sons makes every day feel as if it is one on which something great could happen.
