New luxury hotel in Zurich planned from 2024
The Hotel Florhof in Zurich is changing hands – and will be transformed into a luxury hotel by 2024 with the help of the Lalique Group.
Silvio Denz, the majority shareholder of the Lalique Group, a Swiss company specializing in the marketing and development of luxury goods, recently announced that it has taken over the Hotel Florhof in Zurich in cooperation with entrepreneur Peter Spuhler. Extensive renovation and modernization work has been announced. In 2024, the hotel is to open its doors again under a new name and in the style of a luxury hotel, i.e. the company in one press release.
The former Hotel Florhof
Before the takeover of the Lalique Group, the Hotel Florhof was a family business for almost 100 years. The hotel was supposed to close for good at the end of July – now the historic building is being breathed new life into. The construction work will be carried out in close cooperation with the preservation of historical monuments in order to keep the historical value of the hotel intact.
The construction of the house dates back to the 16th century. The building used to serve as a silk court – known for the history of the Zurich district, which is best known for the silk production and trade of the time.
“Villa Florhof”
The new hotel will open in 2024 under the name Villa Florhof. The focus is on sophisticated and luxurious hotel gastronomy, which the new owners have put at the top of their agenda.
A restaurant with high-quality dishes is to be built on the first floor. The heart of the hotel, however, is to be the bar with a lounge that invites you to linger and a terrace. Around the hotel gastronomy as the center, 15 hotel rooms and suites will be created on the upper floor of the building.
Lalique Group
The Lalique Group is a Swiss company that focuses on the marketing and development of various luxury goods. The Zurich hotel is not the company’s first hospitality project. The Lalique Group’s portfolio already includes the Villa René Lalique and the Château Hochberg in Wingen-sur-Moder in Alsace, the Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey in Bordeaux and the Glenturret Lalique Restaurant in Crieff in Scotland.
