The house
IHGSilent-cinema conversion
The city's first picture house now runs as an informal hotel, trading silent-era auditoriums for round-the-clock drinks and vintage movie reels.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the Old Town by the Limmat, Beatenplatz puts riverside promenades, tram connections, and Old Town cafes on the doorstep.
The rooms
Bedrooms follow a compact, streamlined layout. Selected rooms keep the 1913 building's original round windows and exposed timber beams.
Mimi Bar
A black-lacquered counter serves signature spritzes and pinsa under tiered brass shelves, with red velvet stools lining the bar.
At the table
Theatrical banquettes sit beneath arched red velvet curtains and mirrored mosaics, where guests gather for morning butterzopf and coffee.
How it began
Shoemaker turned showman Jean Speck opened the Orient here in 1913, giving Zurich its first purpose-built cinema.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.
The medals
Gold
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Silver
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
