World fame that goes back a long time: "Jazz at the Widder".
Decades before the Widder Hotel was opened, the Widder Bar was a famous haven of jazz. Musicians from all over the world and live jazz lovers from all over Europe gathered here. Many big jazz careers started or culminated at this bar. The Widder Hotel brought this fine tradition back to life in 1995. At the tastefully renovated Widder Bar, you can enjoy live performances by the likes of Abby Lincoln (voc), Hank Jones (piano) or Phil Woods (sax).
