Local tip
The main railway station is close by, making Palette practical for a meal around a rail journey.

Palette is the restaurant of Hotel Townhouse, positioned on Schützengasse close to the main railway station and Bahnhofstrasse. Its location places it within easy reach of the city’s central transport and shopping streets, while the interior offers a noticeable change of pace from the activity outside.

The room moves from a light, airy entrance into darker areas with playful, opulent decoration. This contrast gives Palette a layered character rather than a single uniform look. The setting combines hotel-restaurant practicality with a more expressive interior, making it suitable for guests looking for a place that feels sheltered and composed while remaining close to the city centre.

Palette’s approach is centred on choice. Different parts of the restaurant provide different moods, from the brighter arrival area to the more intimate darker corners. The arrangement allows guests to select a setting that fits the occasion, whether the visit is connected with a hotel stay, a stop near the station or time spent around Bahnhofstrasse.

The restaurant operates from morning into the evening, with longer service on several weekdays and on Saturday, and a shorter Sunday schedule. That broad daily span makes it relevant for early visits as well as later dining, although opening times should be confirmed before arrival. As a hotel restaurant, Palette also offers a practical option for travellers staying nearby or passing through the central district.

No particular national cuisine or signature dish is identified in the venue’s description, so Palette is best understood through its setting and atmosphere rather than a narrowly defined culinary label. The interior is the clearest part of its identity: bright and open at the entrance, moodier and more decorative further inside, with seating that supports a choice-led experience.

Palette suits travellers, hotel guests and city visitors who value a central location and an interior with visual contrast. Its proximity to the main station makes it convenient around rail journeys, while its position near Bahnhofstrasse keeps it connected to the city’s busiest central routes. The restaurant’s quieter interior provides a degree of separation from that urban movement without removing the convenience of the location.
