Quietly situated on an auto-free pedestrian corridor, the recently renovated Hauser gets high marks for its central location, four-star comfort, and overall stylishness. The reception area adjoins a carpeted lounge featuring a wood-burning fireplace and shelves of books, along with Edi's Bar and its white piano. Modern art is plentiful throughout. Big double windows brighten each of 42 guestrooms; plain pine floors complement Philippe Starck-designed furnishings, textiles, and Euro-modern bathroom fixtures.
Guests can surf channels on a pair of flat-screen Samsung TVs—wall-mounted in both bedroom and bathroom. They also have access to a sun terrace as well as sauna and fitness amenities.
