The Dolder Grand Hotel of Zurich has added a unique feature to its wide range of services: guests can trade in cryptocurrencies using an in-house machine. The move doesn't come as a great surprise, given that the son of the hotel owner is a crypto-banker.
Dolder Grand, the luxury hotel which offers a stunning panoramic view over Zurich and its lake, has introduced a decidedly modernistic feature to its service offering: a crypto-machine. Guests are now able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies at the hotel, according to a statement released on Monday.
The Dolder Grand said that the experience made at other hotels had shown that guests regurlarly had used and much appreciated the service. The Zurich hotel in 2019 had introduced the offer to its guests to pay for their stay in Bitcoin.

The service had proved popular with guests, the hotel added. The owner of the Dolder Grand, Urs Schwarzenbach, is a currency trader and his son Guy is a cryptobanker. Guy Schwarzenbach is also shareholder and board member of Seba Bank, a company specialized in the business with digital assets.
The crypto-service-machine at the Dolder was installed by Vaerdex, a company that split off Zug brokerage Bitcoin Suisse in 2017 and which has more than 70 such crypto-trading-machines in operation across the country.
