- Zurich, Switzerland
Tucked into a leafy early-20th-century villa quarter just minutes' walk from central Zurich, this beautifully restored boutique hotel charms guests with spotlessly kept rooms, quality mattresses and bath products, attentive and warmly unhurried staff, and breakfast served with a view of a lovely garden that more than one visitor has found difficult to leave behind.
- Zurich, Switzerland
With just three spotless rooms, beautiful paintings on the walls, and a breakfast table where Rudolf works the coffee machine with the flair of a pianist, this intimate Zurich bolthole run by the warmly attentive Petra and Rudolf Röttinger feels far less like a hotel and far more like staying with exceptionally well-connected friends in the heart of the old town.
- Zurich, Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera/Svizra
Tucked into a charming central street in Zürich's old town, the Widder wins devoted regulars with its spacious, old-fashioned rooms, a celebrated bar stocked with an impressive range of wines and spirits, a breakfast guests return for, and staff who have bags seen to and guests welcomed before they've barely stepped through the door.
- Zurich, Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera/Svizra
Tucked into old Zurich's characterful streets, this small, well-laid-out hotel wins visitors over with its personal, warm-hearted service, convenient position within walking distance of the city centre, and tasty breakfast rolls that guests single out with particular fondness.
- Zurich, Switzerland
The hotel achieves a pleasantly intimate, old-world luxury feel with notably attentive staff and characterful rooms that escape the corporate chain aesthetic, though worn furnishings and inconsistent service quality prevent it from reaching higher cosiness.
- Zurich, Switzerland
A compact, well-kept boutique hotel in the heart of Zürich where the staff go quietly out of their way, improvising a late-night plate of meat and cheese for arriving guests, holding breakfast a few minutes past closing time, and offering cheerful local walking tips, making the small rooms and central buzz feel entirely beside the point.
- Zurich, Switzerland
The hotel trades on period charm and a lovely Altstadt location with decent-sized rooms and friendly staff, but is undermined by noisy air conditioning, poor soundproofing between rooms, claustrophobic interior spaces, and a manager who responds to guest problems with dismissal rather than warmth.
