The Dolder Grand

Not all people nap naturally, so the Dolder Grand’s Chillout Room is designed to be a low-pressure environment where guests at the Zurich icon can achieve REM or simply decompress. Individual baskets sway slightly, calming the body and mind, while sound-blocking headphones—used for quiet or mellow music—enhances the release. Gentle splashes of light seep into the space through purposeful holes in the wall, and there are even sketchbooks if sleep just isn’t coming. Nearby, a row of Japanese-inspired Sunaburo tubs holding smooth stones that warm with by your body heat, is another option that hardly requires counting sheep.
