“Opposite Zurich's central station, on the Bahnhofplatz, a stone's throw from the Bahnhofstrasse.”

BusinessFamilleHeritageBien-être

Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich occupies the corner of the Bahnhofplatz, literally opposite Zurich's central station. The rating of 9/10 on 1171 Booking reviews makes it one of the best-rated addresses in the city. Rates start from 728 € a night, a level that clearly places it in the upper end of the Swiss market. The fitness centre remains modest compared to the spas of the great alpine palaces, correct for a quick session between two meetings. An on-site restaurant and room service allow guests never to go out if the schedule does not allow it. Pet welcome and family rooms distinguish the place from purely corporate addresses in the neighbourhood. We regret the absence of precise information on the interior decoration, but the position, between the station, Bahnhofstrasse and the lake, remains the number one argument 😌.

Who is it for?

Who we recommend it to

We recommend this hotel to business travellers who want to get off the train and be at the hotel in five minutes. Families find adapted rooms here, a real plus in such a central establishment. Pet owners will appreciate a welcome that remains rare among Swiss 5-stars.

The building

Architecture and interiors

The hotel stands on the Bahnhofplatz, the square opposite Zurich's central station, one of the most central locations in the city. The available data do not specify the details of the architecture or interior decoration. We do know, however, that it offers family rooms and a fitness centre, signs of an establishment designed for long stays as well as business stopovers.

At the table

Restaurants, bar, service

A restaurant is installed on site, without the name or identity of the chef being specified in the available data. Room service completes the offer for clients who prefer to dine in their room after a long day of meetings or travel. We cannot judge the table without more information, but the presence of continuous room service remains a real practical comfort.

Location & access

Where the hotel sits in Zurich

The hotel is located on the Bahnhofplatz, literally opposite Zurich's central station, one of Europe's busiest railway hubs. The Bahnhofstrasse, the city's emblematic shopping artery, starts a few metres away, and Lake Zurich is reachable on foot. The neighbourhood mixes traveller flows, luxury shops and bank headquarters, lively from morning to evening. It is an ideal position for those who prioritise proximity to transport over residential tranquillity.
