“It is a year of horror,” Martin Nydegger, president of Swiss Tourism, told the news conference on Friday. Last year, the hotel industry registered 40 percent fewer overnight stays compared to the previous year.
The city’s hotel industry, which lives off many foreign guests, is particularly hard hit. Not all businesses can survive the crown lockdown period. Many companies must close only in Zurich.
Reforms and closures
Among them is Giardino’s Atlantis. The five-star hotel Atlantis has stopped working. Now it has been bought by an Indian billionaire and he is renovating it on a large scale.
Or the Swissôtel in Oerlikon. Credit Suisse now wants to convert half of the hotel rooms into apartments. The Basel branch is also affected.

After 27 years too
The Ascot Hotel is also closing. After 27 years, the Enge train station hotel has to close. 40 employees lose their jobs. Its future is uncertain.
The Savoy Baur en Ville does not close. Instead, use the time for a renewal. The luxury hotel will be extensively renovated over a period of two years. In addition, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group will take over as operator.
