Descriptions Hotel Seehof
General
Set close to the opera house and the promenade that parallels the lake, this small-scale, postmodern hotel was opened in 1999 after a radical renovation and modernization of the original 1930s-era private house. Whereas the hotel retains the original russet-colored exterior, the interior decor is angular and efficient, with stark white walls and the kind of black furniture that you'd expect in a trendy art gallery. Fortunately, the angularity is softened, in both the public areas and the bedrooms, with varnished and beautifully crafted oaken floors and a revolving series of artworks, usually photographs, by Swiss artists.
Only a couple of steps away from the opera and the lake promenade, you can find the small and personal Hotel Seehof with 19 rooms and 1 suite. The new designed rooms, each room with internet access, are fitted with the most modern comfort.
