About Us

Integration Meets Hospitality

Sustainability & Inclusion at the Heart of ZwiBack

Hotel, Bistro & Take Away ZwiBack is more than just a place to stay or dine – it's a socially driven concept operated by the Stiftung Altried, a Swiss foundation committed to inclusion. We offer modern, community-oriented jobs in kitchen, service, and retail to 20 individuals with disabilities, providing structured daily routines or vocational training opportunities.

As part of Switzerland’s disability insurance (IV) program, we also support young adults with special educational and developmental needs through practical training across different skill levels – helping them build a path toward integration into the open job market.

Our Commitment to Social and Environmental Sustainability
Social sustainability is at the heart of our mission, and ecological sustainability is an integral part of our concept as well. At Hotel & Bistro ZwiBack, we actively minimize plastic use and food waste whenever possible.

For our takeaway meals, we use packaging made from renewable or recycled materials. Together with reCIRCLE, we offer guests the option to borrow reusable dishes and have them refilled.

Our hotel and bistro laundry is washed internally at the Altried Foundation in Zurich, securing protected jobs and minimizing transport distances.
