About Thermalbad & Spa Zürich
A luxurious spa and thermal bath in a converted 1920s municipal brewery, featuring a stunning rooftop pool with panoramic views over Zurich's skyline.
Thermalbad & Spa Zürich occupies a magnificently converted 1920s municipal water works building in the Hürlimann Areal, a former brewery complex that has been transformed into a mixed-use development of hotels, apartments, and cultural facilities. The spa was created within the historic buildings and subterranean vaulted spaces of the old waterworks, and it is one of the most architecturally striking urban spa experiences in Europe. The centrepiece is the rooftop pool, perched atop the Victorian-era brewery building with open views over the Zurich skyline, bathing here at night, with the illuminated towers of the Fraumünster and Grossmünster visible in the distance, is an extraordinary experience. The facility also includes a Roman-Irish bath circuit with steam rooms, plunge pools, and relaxation areas, a series of indoor thermal pools at various temperatures, a comprehensive sauna landscape, and a high-quality spa treatment menu. The water itself is mineral-rich thermal water drawn from the building's original wells. The Hürlimann Areal setting, a converted urban industrial site, adds a layer of historical interest to what would already be a remarkable spa destination.
