It is safe to say Swiss’ness is all about that enviable eye for precise detailing and this place is a purist tribute sitting proudly in the creative hub of district 4.

Think of the famous bar scene depicted by Edward Hopper then you can easily imagine the façade of the Greulich with a curvaceous façade dusted in magnificent blue chosen by the colourist Jean Pfaff.

The senses are continually evoked through clever swatch of styles whereby the ambience switches gear throughout; a silent consistent hand sews together the elements. From the earthy tones of grey terrazzo floorings, cedar panels framing walls of dusky red through to the prevailing purist elements and sanctum of the courtyard rooms. Here the contrast excels with a translucent scent, eggshell tones playing host to muted greys.

This is where you want to sit and people watch, an ever so simple sophisticated address in the neighbourhood that kindles the creative spirits of say Tribecca or SOHO.

Very Swiss – sophistication pure.
