The X-TRA Hotel is one of the most durable of the cost conscious hotels of downtown Zurich. The X-TRA Hotel occupies part of a four story building erected in 1935 in the Bauhaus style as a convention center, and whose boxy looking facade is today protected as a historic monument. After the renovation of the lobby, entrance, bar, restaurant club, and former Congress Centre, the X-TRA Hotel has changed into a stylish multi-functional house which is very famous with young people in Zurich, as well as artists and musicians.
