Located on Beatenplatz in the heart of Zurich, where one of the city’s first cinemas was located, Ruby Mimi is reviving the old days of early silent film history.
The hotel’s 208 rooms are spread over seven floors across the Art Deco listed building with a total area of 8,400sq m. Situated where one of the first cinemas in Zurich used to thrill audiences over 100 years ago, the new hotel takes guests on a journey back to the exciting golden era of Hollywood of the 1910s and 1920s.
The extraordinary architecture of the building is immediately apparent upon entering, with the Mimi Bar and its impressively high ceilings taking centre stage. Luxurious materials and hand-picked antiques are skillfully juxtaposed with modern stylistic elements, whilst the oversized neon sign “Stars are born, not made” lights up on the wall.
Another highlight is the hotel’s charming cinema hall – a reminder of the building’s history. Cosy armchairs, red velvet curtains and a popcorn machine create a cinema feeling just like in the golden days of Hollywood.
