The 10 best hotels in Zurich, Switzerland

August 7, 2022 Nicolette Lion

The largest city in Switzerland is a major contemporary art and shopping destination. Important artworks are displayed in the Kunsthaus and the Rietberg Museum, while those who consider shopping an art can hone their skills along Bahnhofstrasse and Niederdorf. Chagall's stained glass windows in the Fraumunster amaze and Zurich's 500 clubs and bars, including several in swimming pools, pulse with life 'til the early hours. This city on Lake Zurich has excellent public transit and a free bike rental system.

Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich

The historical Hotel Schweizerhof is located opposite Zurich main station and is the ideal starting point for visiting the city by the banks of river Limmat. The famous pedestrian shopping street "Bahnhofstrasse" with its exclusive shops are just a stone's throw away from the hotel’s doorstep. Zurich's up-and-coming neighbourhood "Europaallee", the classic financial district by "Paradeplatz" and Zurich’s sightseeing spots are all within steps of the hotel.

Regular customer, I am really happy with this hotel. The staff are super friendly and professional. The rooms have been renovated several years ago and have everything one could need, international electricity sockets, not just Swiss ones, nice bathroom amenities and above all super comfortable beds and very quiet rooms. I can't wait to go back, thank you very much!

Not just only Zurich's well-known landmarks but also the business quarters with the banks and shops, the high-end shopping district «Bahnhofstrasse», the university quarters, amongst them the ETH «Federal Institute of Technology», the car-free lake- and riverside promenades and many Cafés, bars and restaurants.

Hotel Adler Zurich

Enjoy a good night's sleep at the charming Hotel Adler Zürich, a unique three-star-superior hotel, in the middle of Zurich's old town and savour Swiss specialities at the famous Swiss Chuchi Restaurant.

I loved this hotel.

Reviewed By EAZELIFF

This caters mostly to tourists, but does so with charm and class. The rooms are modern, but housed in a historic building. I loved the murals that cover the walls over the bed. OK, not the most super luxurious accommodations, but does that really matter? No chain motel feel here and the staff were lovely. ( Thank you, Anya). The fondue restaurant in the building is a winner. Kudos to server Karol from Hungary. This hotel left me with a good impression of Zurich.

Great location, super friendly staff, trendy place

Reviewed By Hans K

Zurich is a beautiful city, with lots of hotel offerings. To make your choice a little easier, I would always go for 25H Langstrasse. This is a well-known concept with multiple locations in Europe. Trendy, atmospheric, hip, stylish, great atmosphere. The restaurant is more than good, breakfast as it should be. The most important thing: the staff. Smooth, friendly, helpful, humor, always with a smile. This hotel feels much more relaxed than the more formal hotels in Zurich. Oh yes, I organized an event there, the facilities are really top notch!

Great location for a short visit on foot

Housekeeping did not replace used items: water glass, coffee mug, coffee pods, wash cloth. They did respond quickly when I called about these items. My key fob stopped working and rather than replacing it, the staff accompanied me up to my room and opened the door. Thought that was odd.

Room service personal forced their way into our room….

Reviewed By SoocerStar

Our checking in experience was pleasant but what happened the second day of our stay was a nightmare. Room service personal forced their way into our room despite the visible red light outside the door. You think that was bad? Absolutely not, what happened next was the worst we have ever experienced in any hotel we have ever stayed in. While we were checking out on our last day (6th day) the manager asked about our stay, so we thought this is the right time to tell them what happened. To our amazement, the response was dumbfounded. Basically he started making excuses for the hotel attendant instead of simply say ( we are sorry that this happened). Never again we would stay in such a hotel.

Great hotel in the middle of Zurich

Reviewed By RomanGeneva

Amazing hotel in the centre of Zurich! The hotel has a great charm with the combination of the 'old' outside building and the new, modern interior. The staff is very helpful and attentive, the room was large and super clean, there are two 'public' rooms/options on the ground floor where you can work (incl. free coffee and tea), there is even a little terrace at the back of the hotel overlooking the river 'Sihl' - you feel like being in a secluded little 'paradise' in the middle of a busy city! Also, there is a restaurant inside the hotel serving great meals - lunch, dinner as well as breakfast. I will definitely consider staying at Boutique Hotel Helvetia Zurich again.

The Placid Hotel Design & Lifestyle Zurich: perfect for cosmopolites, business travellers and leisure seekers. A hub for countless threads that converge and separate again. Urban lifestyle, modern design, authentic encounters. Though deeply rooted in the Altstetten quarter, it is still open to the world.

I’LL NOT STOP HERE AGAIN

Reviewed By gianfrancobianchi

I have chosen the Placid Hotel Design & Lifestyle Zurich because of the design and that was ok. Then the car park is expensive and you can't park anywhere nearby. People at the reception are not helpful and have no good attitude. They don't help with the luggage as well. The room was cold and even if it supposes to be a business hotel, you can't share the room with a colleague, the shower is with glass in front of the bed. My booking was prepaid including tax, but we checked in they asked me to pay the city tax. In the morning I showed my booking and asked for a refund of the tax, but they didn't do it and said to my wife that they will send me an email and refund on the credit card. Anything happens so far! I'LL NOT STOP HERE AGAIN!!!

Best Airport Hotel Ever

Reviewed By michekara

Stayed 8 nights at this Hyatt Regency in the Zurich Airport due to meeting in the Circle offices right next to the airport and thing might have been the best airport hotel ever stayed in. Literally walk outside the very nice Zurich airport and walk about 10 mins to the Hyatt Regency. That simple. Signs for the Circle and the Hyatt Regency easily marked (yes also a Hyatt House at the Circle). And just a short 5 min walk from the Hyatt Regency to our offices in the Circle for work commitments every day. Easy access to Zurich city center via the Tram (takes 45 mins-sh) but better to take the train which runs every 10-15 minutes and about 15 mins to Zurich main train station. Rooms were very spacious and property overall is new. Fabulous shower. Incredibly friendly staff. Breakfast included in rate but not worth it you had to pay separate. Very wide selection of options for breakfast with made - to - order eggs , waffles, etc but maybe not worth the high price. Enjoyed the delightful Italian place right next to the Hyatt twice. Access to lots of food options at the airport for quick meals and snacks, etc and chocolate shops. Best part was the outside park where you can get some morning exercise and fresh air.
