Villa Hatt

Villa Hatt was built by Heinrich Hatt, owner of a well known Swiss construction company, in 1927 as his family seat. The property, comprising a main building, a summer house, and a terraced garden, was bequeathed to the ETH Zurich by the then owner, Mrs Haller, in 2004. Since spring 2008, Villa Hatt has been hosting formal events for individuals and institutions of the ETH. The guest house has 6 hotel rooms, which we reserved for the conference. The rooms have bath/shower and WC, Internet connection, phone, TV, minibar, desk. Buffet breakfast is included.
