Art and culture

Art in the hotel

For the passionate art lovers at Züllig, an invigorating sense of well-being also includes surrounding themselves with works of art. Over time, we have blossomed into an art world of our own. We are happy to share the joy of beautiful works of art with you and so you will find a wide variety of exhibits throughout the house.

Art is not a means to an end or decoration at the Hotel Schweizerhof art is part of life and the works of art are more roommates than exhibits. They are restrained companions or stimulating counterparts, depending on your mood. In the new BergSpa and in the Hamam, several new favourite works of art find a suitable setting.

Guardians of the Grisons artist, Olga Titus

The colourful, dazzling, large-format work by Olga Titus, who was named Graubünden Artist of the Year in spring 2022, is an opulent feast for the eyes. It clearly bears the colourful, interplaying signature of the multicultural artist with Swiss-Indian-Malaysian roots. The picture made of printed reversible sequins changes its appearance depending on the angle of view or the direction of the stroke and fascinates with its complexity. Intensely colourful and mysterious, it invites you into enchanted worlds and inspires you to ponder and dream, to enjoy and delight.

Architecture in the hotel

Experience art with all your senses - including Max Dudler and Mayo Bucher and the most beautiful hamam in the Alps;

You will encounter art everywhere in our hotel: in the gabar, in the winter garden, in the restaurant/bar, in front of and in the hammam, in the lobby and in the corridors leading to the Alpenchic rooms. We are currently working on a small art guide, which will be published in spring 2022. Until then, we recommend that you simply let yourself drift through the hotel, marvelling at the art and letting it work its magic on you.

"Ever since man has been building, architecture has reflected his physical and mental needs. The built environment influences the quality of our lives. Seen in this light, architecture is nothing other than quality of life. Our thoughts and actions are based on this realisation."
Max Dudler, architect Hamam Schweizerhof

Three women one shop

We started the 2020 winter season under the name  "Lorena's Pop Up" We" are: Claudia Züllig, absolute power woman and passionate hostess of the Hotel Schweizerhof. Franziska Bründler, creative mind and founder of the Lucerne-based label Fidea Design, and Lorena Paterlini, illustrator and alpine designer with heart and soul. Our idea was to offer both Lenzerheide and hotel guests a new shopping experience. What our products have in common is sustainability, good design and, of course, a little wit. We are staying because the collaboration is simply great fun.
