The Limmat is one of the most durable of the cost-conscious hotels of downtown Zurich. The 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 Limmat Xtra has changed into a stylish multi-functional house which is very famous with young people in Zurich, as well as artists and musicians. The Limmat is one of the largest organizers of rock-and-roll concerts in Switzerland, often staging their acts in the cavernous restaurant and night club that occupies the ground floor. Hotel is located in the heart of Zurich, only 7 min. on foot to the main station and the famous "Bahnhofstrasse", 10 km to the nearest fair site (zurich messe), and 15 min. by car to the airport Zürich-Unique.
