The Greulich hotel, housed in a renovated industrial building, is an intimate town hotel with 18 junior suites and rooms, a restaurant and bar-lounge, as well as a banquet room, all reflecting the reduced styles of the late seventies.
In the calm interior courtyard birch trees replace the traditional hotel garden.

An almost anonymous side entrance leads into the small hotel lobby, bar and restaurant. The atmosphere is ligh and airy with natural wood panelling and terrazzo floors. The windows and columns are painted a satiny grey.

Another courtyard, open for dining during the summer months, is paved with sky blue tiles. A long narrow water pool and a natural cedar slat wall, separating the two courtyards, add a Zen touch to the exterior.
