Great lakeside hotel about 15mins drive South of Zurich City. A 10mins walk down the hill from Thalwil train station. The location is so perfect the owners cant decide whether to extend it (with the complaints from the neighbours preventing this at the moment) or turn it into flats, which has been the demise of many lakeside eateries.

Last Sunday, we invited some friends from Germany to enjoy the view over the Lake of Zurich while having a coffee on a Sunday morning. The view was great, indeed.

Stayed here fir 3 nights at the end of January to celebrate our friend's birthday. Stunning location on the lakeside with views over the lake to the alps beyond. The staff -... More

Three friends and I stayed at the Hotel Alexander am See the night of August 5, 2006, and we could not have been happier with the experience. The hotel is located just 15 minutes (by car or train) south of Zurich's city center on the western shore of Lake Zurich in the village of Thawil. The hotel is literally built... More
