B2 Boutique Hotel, Zurich
Expert reviews
“Away from the city centre (but next door to Google’s European headquarters), this hip boutique hotel in a renovated brewery abounds in seductive features, including a stupendous rooftop thermal pool”
“Perched on a hill, and ten minutes by tram from the city center, this boldly designed and very happening hotel and spa is inside a former brewery, a striking building of whitewashed walls and brick chimneys.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Zurich.
“An industrial chic hotel in an imposing brewery with an edgy aesthetic offset by warm colours and oak fittings. B2 boasts a perch above Zurich, where views are best enjoyed from the hot rooftop pool with jets.”

All you need to know
Formerly known as the Hurlimann Brewery, B2 Boutique Hotel allows you to sleep where beer used to be brewed. B2 stands for “bookmark and boutique,” which is a small group of independent urban hotels that create modern accommodations within historic buildings. B2 Boutique Hotel is the perfect blend of historical and contemporary. High arched windows and vaulted ceilings combine perfectly with modern design, clean lines, and unique furniture. Beautiful white linens, eclectic light fixtures, and flat-screen TVs create stylish, comfortable rooms.
While B2’s guest rooms are top-notch, the real highlight of this hotel is its common spaces, such as the library lounge and spa. The Thermal Bath & Spa Zurich, the hotel spa, is located in the former barrel filling wing of the brewery. Brick walls, stone features, and vaulted cellars give the spa a historic and serene environment. The rooftop pool, thermal bath, and Roman-Irish spa ritual are just a few of this section’s amenities. B2’s Wine Library is one of the most impressive and elegant spaces in Zurich. With extra-tall ceilings, chandeliers constructed from bottle holders, and entire walls of books, this is an enchanting setting to order a drink or catch up on some work.
B2 Hotel and Spa is about a ten-minute stroll from Bahnhof Zurich Enge railway station, providing easy access to the rest of the city. This hotel is located in the quaint, laid-back neighborhood of Enge, which is about 2.6 kilometers from the Kunsthaus Zurich Museum.

Very good staff, convenience location, and people staying in this hotel are all nice and calm.
Overall, very good experience staying at B2 Hotel. The rooftop swimming pool and spa are closed for renovation, which is very unfortunate. The staff are all very helpful and responsive in all inquiries. I would come back again.
Closed swimming pool and spa due to renovation.

Amazing stay in a lovely city
Amazing decor and setup! We stayed in a regular double room but with the high ceilings and the semi-open bathroom, it looked and felt very spacious. The room was surprisingly very quiet despite the hotel being close to a railway… breakfast was very tasty and I appreciated the fact that it was included in the price of the room and available until noon. And of course the breakfast room/restaurant was very spectacular. The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Not much to highlight besides maybe the small fact that we didn’t have the chance to try the rooftop pool because it was closed for summer maintenance. But we did get free passes for the local Badi - just ask the staff!

Nothing to dislike

Breakfast is fresh with various choices, museli, fruits, croissants, breads, meat, drinks and more. Eating in a library
Staff, cleanness, breakfast, room space, location, mini bar
Nothing in particular. They did a good job to transform a more than 180’years old of brewery into a modern hotel however the guest room design is still slightly old fashion compared to other modern hotels in Switzerland.

Unique and beautiful hotel with exceptional customer service.
We loved the B2 hotel. It was so unique, rooms were clean and modern, and the extras were high quality. The staff were fantastic - always so helpful and friendly. A special shout out to Irina who welcomed us on day one and remembered us every day. Although technically not a part of the hotel, the connection to the thermal spa made B2 an extra special spot.
B2 is not in the immediate inner city but it was easy enough to walk to the cbd and a nearby train station to get to the airport.

Fantastic stay
Upon arrival we were greeted by Irena at the front desk who was really friendly and helpful. It was nice to be given a welcome drink after a long day of travelling. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. Although the bathroom has glass walls, there is a curtain that can be drawn around for privacy and the toilet is in its own cubicle. Breakfast was very tasty and there was a good selection of food. You could also order eggs to be freshly prepared.
The hotel is located on a hill so it is a bit of a climb to access if you don't have a car. Travellers with mobility issues should be aware of this.

Amazing hotel and location
This hotel was so perfect for us. Perfect location right near the Lake and Old town. Also close to places to eat and shop. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Anything we needed they helped us with a smile. The rooms were very pleasant and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. And the spa! The spa and rooftop pool were absolutely incredible. So many pools and jacuzzis to soak in. Would highly recommend staying here.
Everything was perfect

The staff is very friendly. The hotel is pretty, clean, modern. We loved the breakfast and the breakfast area, itself. It felt like we were at Hogwarts in Harry Potter! There is even a Harry Potter book in the library:) The spa is lovely. We went there, twice. We were able to walk to the tram- which take you all over Zurich. We walked to a nice dinner. We would stay there again:)

The hotel is new and comfortable and has a nice vibe. Staff are friendly. Rooms are small but com
Nice ambiance and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast
It's not in the center or Zurich, in a suburb Enge. Requires a car to get/from the hotel The hotel has a swimming pool and spa. But weirdly the pool requires separate payment. They would not show us the pool without us buying a pass

I wish to go back as soon as possible.
breakfast was awesome. the meal to get you through the whole day. stuff was so nice and helpful, room was ready before the check-in time (so I could check-in earlier). interior is amazing, I was mesmerized by everything. staff helped me with everything that I asked, and were so polite. I really felt like at home.
nothing could have been better, everything is just mind blowing. you need to experience this first hand, it cannot be captured in words or sentences. you just need to be there. these people just know how to make you feel satisfied.

Spacious rooms, clean and modern. Highly recommend!
Open and spacious, very clean. Beautiful library and lounge areas. Loved the complimentary power yoga session. Enjoyed our stay, highly recommend.
Not walking distance into town, however best way to travel around was via Uber.
