The Swissotel Hotel is housed in an unusual, round building constructed using large panes of glass to maximise natural light. It has a sleek interior with original artwork by Marcus Lupertz. Accessible via a glass lift, the lobby, on the first floor, has a skylight ceiling and a generous seating area. The 316 soundproof guestrooms are, as expected, bright and airy. They feature soothing neutral décor in cream and beige tones, complemented by light wood furnishings. Beds are specially designed to avoid allergens and provide maximum comfort. All the rooms are clean and well maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms. The hotel offers a variety of dining options. “Restaurant 44” boasts a terrace and has been designed with a contemporary feel and a stylish ambience. Using the freshest ingredients, it serves regional and international cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Both the “Palermo Bar” and the “Grande Galerie” are located on the main floor and serve a wide variety of light snacks, beverages and cigars. They are the ideal venues in which to meet or unwind from the stresses of the day. The Amrita fitness centre includes treadmills, bikes and step machines, weights and a steam room with a Finnish sauna. Fresh fruit and soft drinks complete an invigorating experience.
