The Yarn
Horgen, Switzerland · Independent · Near Luxury
Hotel Meierhof, a 1960s block at Bahnhofstrasse 4 across from Horgen station, came back in April 2024 as The Yarn, with Andrin Schweizer refurnishing all 81 rooms, the lobby, and the restaurant in oak, lake colours, and carpets patterned like schools of fish. The old floor plans stayed, the lake is the other view, and Zurich is about twenty minutes up the line.
- 81 rooms
- Interiors: Andrin Schweizer
About The Yarn

History
The block at Bahnhofstrasse 4 was Hotel Meierhof. Andrin Schweizer, writing up the 2024 interior, dates the building to the 1960s and says more than ten years had passed since the previous full renovation. Agensa AG was the client. The Yarn opened in April 2024 with 81 rooms, a lobby, a bar, and a restaurant dressed in oak and a shipping theme, including carpets drawn as schools of fish. HotellerieSuisse lists a four-star design classification.
