\nAny vintage charm always captures my attention, but this hotel, with its velvet curtains, transported me for a moment to the sets of film director Wong Kar Wai. And because there’s a story behind every brand, I’ll start by exploring its inspiration.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
O nome “Locke” \u00e9 inspirado em John Locke, um fil\u00f3sofo brit\u00e2nico do s\u00e9culo XVII, conhecido pelas suas contribui\u00e7\u00f5es ao pensamento pol\u00edtico e \u00e0 teoria do conhecimento. Locke defendia a liberdade individual, a seguran\u00e7a dos direitos e a prote\u00e7\u00e3o da propriedade privada, valores que se alinham perfeitamente com o conceito de seguran\u00e7a e amparo \u2014 assim como uma fechadura que protege o que h\u00e1 de mais valioso: a nossa tranquilidade. Por isso, a marca Locke tamb\u00e9m se inspira na ideia de conectar as pessoas \u00e0s suas paix\u00f5es, sejam elas viajar, confiar ou explorar o desconhecido sem medo. .Assim, cada hotel Locke no mundo tem como manifesto \u201ccriar uma experi\u00eancia que seja tanto um ref\u00fagio quanto uma porta de entrada para algo inesquec\u00edvel\u201d.<\/p>\n
Com experi\u00eancias sempre aut\u00eanticas e personalizadas, a marca Locke j\u00e1 se encontra em v\u00e1rias cidades globais, como Zurique, Londres, Paris, Berlim, Munique, Dublin, Cambridge, Manchester e Edimburgo. A personalidade dos espa\u00e7os cria uma osmose entre design e influ\u00eancias vintage, sempre respeitando a cultura local.<\/p>\n
The name \u2018Locke\u2019 is inspired by John Locke, a 17th century British philosopher known for his contributions to political thought and the theory of knowledge. Locke defended individual freedom, the security of rights and the protection of private property, values that align perfectly with the concept of security and protection – just like a lock that protects what is most valuable: our peace of mind. For this reason, the Locke brand is also inspired by the idea of connecting people to their passions, be they travelling, trust or exploring the unknown without fear. Thus, each Locke hotel in the world has the manifesto of \u2018creating an experience that is both a refuge and a gateway to something unforgettable\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n With experiences that are always authentic and personalised, the Locke brand can already be found in several global cities, such as Zurich, London, Paris, Berlin, Munich, Dublin, Cambridge, Manchester and Edinburgh. The personality of the spaces creates an osmosis between design and vintage influences, always respecting the local culture.<\/em><\/p>\n O esp\u00edrito do hotel de Zurique reflete a vibrante e cosmopolita energia da cidade, que confirmou a esperada civilidade, eleg\u00e2ncia e efici\u00eancia.

O hotel combina elementos vintage com toques contempor\u00e2neos, criando um ambiente acolhedor, despretensioso, mas com uma sofistica\u00e7\u00e3o que se revela na sua simplicidade, alinhando-se perfeitamente com a personalidade discreta da cidade.<\/p>\n The spirit of the Zurich hotel reflects the vibrant and cosmopolitan energy of the city, which has confirmed the expected civility, elegance and efficiency.
