An urban resort perched on the wooded heights of Zurich, far from the bustle of the city centre.

“Two heated outdoor pools with views over Lake Zurich and the Alps, rare for an urban hotel.”
FIVE Zurich - Luxury City Resort stretches across the wooded heights of Albisrieden, about fifteen minutes from the city centre by car. The building plays the urban resort card: glass façades, teak terraces, horizontal lines that capture the light from the lake below. Two heated outdoor pools open onto the Alps, a luxury uncommon for an urban establishment. The rooms, sober and bright, focus on light wood and large windows rather than heavy furnishings. The fitness centre and spa complete the wellness offering, without competing with the great Swiss thermal houses. We regret the distance from the historic centre, offset by a practical airport shuttle for business travellers. Count from 232 € per night, a fair rate for the space and views offered. 😌
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend FIVE Zurich to travellers seeking space and calm rather than immediate proximity to Bahnhofstrasse. Families with children, couples in search of spa and pool, or business travellers appreciating the airport shuttle will find what they need. Lovers of urban nightlife will doubtless prefer a more central address.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The complex adopts a contemporary hillside architecture, all horizontal lines and glass façades. The volumes are staggered across several levels to take advantage of the views over the lake and the Alps. Light wood, glass and concrete dominate, in a style that evokes a mountain resort more than a classic urban palace. The ensemble is recent, without the heritage cachet of the historic addresses in the city centre.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
A main restaurant and room service are offered on site, though neither the name nor the menu is specified in our data. Nothing indicates a signature gastronomic table or a starred chef. For Zurich's great tables, it is better to plan a trip into the city centre.
