in Switzerland. It is also Wanders's second
collaboration with hotelier Carsten Rath, following
the Kameha Grand in Bonn. Both Wanders and Rath
believe in giving guests a memorable experience
that they will talk about-a place that will entertain,
inspire, and stimulate.
Like the overture to an opera, the lobby
anticipates the extravaganza that follows. Carpet
motifs are derived from Swiss bank notes and
padded walls are embellished with golden keys.
Columns are shaped like vases, complementing
the hotel logo of interlaced tulips and branches.

as one walks past it. A staircase leads up to the
Kameha Dome, an expansive skylit meeting room,
in which the black and white geometry of the tiled
floor contrasts with the draped red plush curtains
and ornate chandeliers.

evokes an Arabian Nights
fantasy with Turkish rugs, low
sofas, and hookahs. A sanctum
for cigar smokers, the Club
Lounge (opposite, top)
features tufted leather
chairs and backlit shelves.
