A former toll booth
For the record, Zollhaus is a German word for tollbooth or customs house, depending on the language. In 1844, on the Nydeggbrücke bridge, customs officers Schuster and Kohli were responsible for collecting taxes from all those wishing to cross the bridge and enter the old town. Since the abolition of these taxes in 1853, and after several tenants, the toll house at the south-eastern end of the bridge now houses the suite.
The apartment
When you enter the apartment, you'll discover a very cosy place with the following rooms: modern bedroom, 2 bathrooms including the one on the upper floor with freestanding shower, living room, small dining room with Adrianos coffee machine and private terrace overlooking the river and the old town. There are 70 m² of floor space and the apartment is on 2 floors.
Plinio Il Giovane 's handcrafted and personalized furniture offers luxurious and sophisticated comfort within your four walls. Everything is decorated with love and then what a charm!
Breakfast
In the morning, a delicious breakfast is delivered right outside the apartment door. On the menu: a traditional Swiss selection of cold meats, cheeses, breads, fresh milk, yoghurts, croissants, cereals, juices, and often fruit platters.
Catering
For lunch and dinner, visit the Altes Tramdepot brewery, a well-known part of the Bernese gastronomic scene, just a 2-minute walk from your apartment. The speciality here is home brewed beer. The atmosphere is simple and friendly.
And don't miss the delicious ice cream in the Gelateria Eiswerkstatt! The products are of the highest quality, including organic milk from Emmental, pistachios from Sicily and hazelnuts from Piedmont.
Location
The One Suite Hotel Zollhaus is located in the middle of the Bärenpark in Bern, Switzerland. Cross the river to discover the old town. Stroll along the arcades, visit the Museum of Fine Arts and don't miss the house at 49 Kramgasse: Einstein lived there for several years with his family. We also love the cobbled streets, sculpted fountains and Roman numeral clocks, including the famous Zytglogge.
