Designed by London-based artist Rolf Sachs, the interior of the Saltz restaurant at the Dolder Grand hotel in Zurich utilizes materials such as neon lights, salt, rock, and felt to create an eclectic design. Helmed by chef Patrick Hetz, the restaurant serves international cuisine, as well as 250 wines from Switzerland and Europe.
The design of the hotel is inspired by the Swiss landscape. Visitors are treated to a variety of atmospheres that invite them to respond to feelings and ideas. Red, blue, and gray are the dominant hues, and a 1,100-pound rock from the Swiss Alps hangs from the ceiling of the main dining room on a red climbing rope, creating a focus point in the 3,000-square-foot dining room.
“My favorite spot is the table in the corner that is decorated completely in red with red neon lights depicting Swiss mountain peaks,” says Sachs.
The restaurant features indoor seating for 102, as well as seating for 80 on the terrace, and lounge and bar seating for 46 guests. It is located in the Dolder Grand, a 175-room hotel with views over Zurich and the Swiss Alps that is a member both of the Leading Hotels of the World and Swiss Deluxe Hotels.
