Reading the “But I like the sticky floors<\/a>” post on Seth Godin’s blog<\/a> regarding McDonalds trying out new restaurant designs reminded me of a hotel I stayed at during one of my layovers in Zurich — Park Inn Zurich Airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was the first (and only?) McDonald’s hotel<\/a> (opened in 2001).<\/p>\n

This four-star hotel is as boutique\/Feng Shui\/funky\/shi shi as they come — complete with stylish opaque glass pods for a shower (built right into the bedroom — so roommates beware!), adjustable beds (similar to a hospital bed) and bright curvy walls.<\/p>\n

The McDonalds colors and arches are everywhere. It’s also connected to a McDonalds restaurant downstairs!<\/p>\n

In the mean time, check out the hotel next time you’re in Zurich. It’s a golden piece of history..<\/p>\n
