This here's a snapshot of the Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland which will have its official re-opening ceremony tomorrow. The hotel has been closed for four years to undergo a $400 million renovation by renowned architects Foster and Partners.

Apparently, the city and its residents were so eager to see the results of the makeover the hotel opened its doors over the weekend for public viewing days. It is estimated about 20,000 people showed up to get a sneak peek. Hmmm...if only we had been in Zurich yesterday instead of New York.
