In a central location on busy Pilatusstrasse, the Renaissance occupies a substantial historic town-house with an ornate façade, behind which however you'll find the polished, contemporary design of an international hotel. Rooms are light, with fabrics in warm, earthy hues and classic modern design accents. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities and Wi-fi. Staff is friendly, keeps the rooms very clean and mostly speaks English. In house you'll find a lounge, a gym, the Mexican and steak restaurant Pacifico and a smokers bar.
