A Meeting Of Three Design Minds

Newly renovated in 2018, SIDE is the vision of an award-winning design trio who are leaders in their field. The austere glass, steel and stone façade comes from architect Jan Störmer, softened by interior expert Matteo Thun’s sumptuous furnishing and playful color blocking scheme. This minimalist masterpiece is illuminated by theatre director Robert Wilson’s computerized light installation for an energized, spacious and dynamic feel to the space.

Unload & Indulge

After immersing yourself in all the cultural intrigues of the nearby old and new town districts, step back into SIDE’s ‘free and floating’ experience. The ‘flying’ suites promises soaring views of the city while the Sky Lounge expresses weightlessness with improbably curved seating and disk lighting. Its dedicated SPA inSIDE is a wellness oasis of treatment rooms, a solarium, aromatic steam bath and indoor pool – we’re fans of their calming massages which deliver on their promise to ease everyday pressures.

For an extra layer of decadence to your stay, tuck into a lavish breakfast and later visit their renowned [M]eatery for unrivalled steaks, special tartars and the finest seafood, topped off with a unique, botanical cocktail from the Botanist Bar.
