Placid Hotel Design & Lifestyle

Placid Hotel Design & Lifestyle is a four-star design hotel with about 87 rooms at Buckhauserstrasse 36 in the Altstetten district of Zürich, Switzerland, west of the city centre. Altstetten is a fast-changing district of offices, new housing and transport links, and the hotel serves visitors who need access to the western business areas, the Limmattal and Zürich West. Altstetten railway station and tram lines are close, and trains reach Zürich Hauptbahnhof in a few minutes, so the city centre is accessible even though the hotel sits outside the Old Town. The airport is also reachable by train with a short change, which suits travellers arriving or leaving early. The hotel's character comes from its contemporary design, which emphasises clean lines, bold colours and a stylish lobby rather than traditional Swiss decor. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, and the property lists wifi, breakfast, a bar and a restaurant. The restaurant and bar double as a social space for guests and local professionals, and breakfast is served on site. The service character is modern and business-oriented, with a clientele that includes corporate guests, conference attendees and leisure travellers looking for design-led accommodation at a lower price than central four-star hotels. Rates generally run from CHF 200 to 350 per night, and prices vary with trade fairs and events in the city. The location is a good choice for those attending events in the west of Zürich, such as the Hardturm area or Zürich West venues, and for visitors who want a quieter place to sleep. Evening nightlife in the Old Town is a train or tram ride away, so guests who plan to stay out late should check the last services. Families and groups can use the twin and suite options, and direct booking is available through the hotel's website.
