When you enter, you are embraced by a feeling of comfort, connection and deceleration. The space’s mix of urbanity and bohemia, its noticeable presence of bygone eras, the well thought-out design, custom made interior and adjustable curtain system create an all around feel good atmosphere.

Bar

The Papiersaal bar is the heart of the space. It is one of the longest bars in Zurich and invites you to a wide range of taste experiences – from timeless classics to innovative creations. In addition to the warm hospitality, the two artistic chandeliers created in collaboration with the Zurich painter Gefe also stand out. This is a place where you can exchange ideas, make connections, relax and enjoy.
