The Swiss Q Claridge Tiefenau Hotel - one of the oldest in Zurich - was built in 1835, and still conveys the comfortable serenity of an affluent merchant's house, set in flowered gardens. In January 2002, the ground floor was completely renovated by the famous interior designer, Pia Schmid. The new lobby has been created with Feng Shui in mind, using running water and creating a clear view through the reception into the hotel kitchen. The 35 spacious superior rooms and junior suites combine the decorative style of the French King Louis XV, focused on genuine oriental rugs and antiques, with the latest facilities. In the new and trendy restaurant - "Orson's" - Euro-Asian cuisine is served, with 30 wines even available by the glass. Guests can also enjoy a coffee on the peaceful terrace, take a stroll in the flower garden and have a drink in the bar.
