Zwei Hotels, zwei unterschiedliche Geschichten – und beides Beispiele dafür, wie historische Gebäude heute neu genutzt werden.

HELVETIA
Im denkmalgeschützten Boutique & Art Hotel am Stauffacher treffen Jugendstil, zeitgenössisches Design und Kunst aufeinander. Besonders sind die sieben «#roomforart»-Zimmer, die von Künstler individuell gestaltet wurden. Zwei historische Häuser wurden dabei zu einem Hotel verbunden – heute mit 37 Zimmern, Restaurant und legendärer Helvti-Bar.

Erstellung: 1870 / 1890
Umbau & Renovation: @atelier_zuerich, 2008; @neledechmann & @historyteller, 2017

MAMA SHELTER ZÜRICH
Der brutalistische Pionierbau in Oerlikon war bei seiner Eröffnung 1972 das höchste Gebäude der Stadt. Nach der Revitalisierung bleibt die markante Béton-brut-Struktur erhalten, während neue Räume für Hotel, Gastronomie und Veranstaltungen entstanden sind. Mit Mama’s Garden gibt es zudem einen neuen «Stadtbalkon» über dem Bahnhofsplatz. Ein besonderes Highlight: die Deckenbemalung von Beni Loys – das grösste handbemalte Decken-Kunstwerk der Schweiz.

Erstellung: 1972
Architektur: Fred A. Widmer, Entwurf 1968; Bernhard Weckemann / Steiner AG, Realisierung 1972
