Travelers' Choice
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.

    CLASSIC ELEGANCE
    Sadly, I only stayed here one night at the end of a ski holiday on my way back to Australia. At my request, a porter met me at the Zurich train station to assist me with a substantial amount of luggage including skis. While the hotel is directly across the street from the station, this was a welcome service. I was greeted at reception with a warm hand towel and a drink of sparkling water. Even though I arrived mid- morning, my room was ready. The room was well appointed including a fruit tray, chocolates, bottled water, capsule coffee machine and tea service. The bathroom was nicely appointed as well with Asprey of London toiletries. For those travellers who didn't bring the right power adapter, the desk outlets included British, American and European power points. The windows appeared to be triple glazed and kept out virtually all the noise of the hustle and bustle below. For the evening meal, I sat at the bar and had a wonderful veal dish along with a very nice glass of Bordeaux wine. The hotel is within walking distance of what appear to be some very nice restaurants in addition to trendy shops. Breakfast was very good and the freshly squeezed orange juice was a stand out. On my next Swiss ski trip, I would like to stay here at least two nights. Well done Hotel Schweizerhof!
    Dear Roger First of all, we would like to thank you for your kind feedback and for having taken the time to share it with us. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay to the fullest. Providing the highest level of service has been our highest priority since our opening in 1876 and our team does its best to make every guest happier.

    Nice hotel
    I booked this hotel online with short notice for New Years Eve time. It was the most expensive hotel I have ever booked (not sure if the price was due to holiday season or a combination of the luxury hotel price tag as well). All tips and service are included in price. We were given an upgraded room upon check in. Nice surprise (most likely due to booking with the hotel directly). The location across the road from the main train station was very handy as we arrived to Zurich via train at 6pm. Our room overlooked /faced the station, however traffic and train noise was not an issue. I did not notice it and slept easily. We were given a room that had an adjoining room. Whilst the door was locked we could hear people in the adjoining room talk, cough, etc. The butler came around each night offering treats including Lindt chocolate blocks, fruit, yogurt and more. The breakfast was nice. All staff friendly and accommodating. The beds were amazing. So comfortable and each side of the bed could be adjusted with electronic remote. The bed was huge.
    Dear GeorgiaG558 It is a pleasure to read that you have enjoyed your stay at our Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich, this I would like to thank you for the great feedback. It has always been a high priority of us to make sure that our guests are as welcomed and comfortable as possible. It is a pleasure to see that our service, as well as the room amenities, have fulfilled your expectations. Your presence is always welcomed in our Hotel and we are always available if you have any further questions or wishes. Kind regards Imad Zeino Guest Relation

    Two Easy Nights
    We had five rooms (from suites to doubles) for 10 people over 3 floors of this hotel. While the driver who dropped us off cautioned the hotel would be "loud," "touristy," and "overpriced" (what a welcome to Switzerland, by the by! Geesh!), we found the front desk to be warm and welcoming. The rooms were actually incredibly quiet - we didn't hear any vehicle, train or pedestrian traffic. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms perfectly suitable and well equipped, and - perhaps most appreciated - the water pressure was strong and hot. We were happy to have rooms with suitable HVAC given the heat wave at the time. The breakfast buffet was just fine. The hotel location made much of what you'd want to see well within walking distance. As we traveled across the country, we noticed that all of the hotels in this brand were located either near the train station or along the waterfront of the given town. While we didn't stay at those hotels (see other reviews), if they are all of the same class and category, I would recommend travelers "working a deal" with the brand to stay at all of their hotels in the various towns.
    Dear alawyer1 Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experiences at the Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay to the fullest and that we were able to delight you with our unique location and our professional service. With our triple-glazed windows, we want to offer all our guests the greatest possible sleeping comfort. Thank you for your appreciation. We are also pleased that you liked our other room amenities. We are not a chain, but if you would like to contact us directly for future bookings, we will be happy to provide you a customized offer. It would be a pleasure having you as our guest. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or wishes. Best regards Larissa Peter Front Office

The Hotel Schweizerhof: This is a great hotel...great location, great staff, great rooms. The hotel is located just off the main drag (Bahnhofstrasse) close to Zurich Old Town and a stones throw from the Zurich HB train station. Upon entering the modest but beautiful reception area the staff is excellent. We arrived at the hotel well before the check-in time however they were very accommodating and our room was ready almost immediately. This was particularly useful since we had to return our rental car to the Zurich airport soon after our arrival. It just made logistics easier. The conceirge (Andy) is very knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and professional. He provided us with walking tour materials, provided train tickets at the hotel for our return trip to Zurich after dropping the car off at the airport....we called on him multiple times during our 3-day stay. Our room on the fourth floor was perfect. A sitting room (w/TV) adjacent to the bedroom (w/TV) , great shower with a steam unit, and a separate toilet room were impeccably clean and they provided all the necessary items..hair dryer, clothes iron, free wifi, air conditioning...just a great facility. By the way, the beds are adjustable to accommodate reading, with a control unit to raise the upper portion of the bed. The rooms are well thought out. The breakfast buffet (including eggs to order if one desires) is sumptuous and the staff is very efficient and very friendly and outgoing. Guests are greeted every morning by a healthy "good morning" from the gentleman who ""runs the show". A nice touch is the evening chocolates, and another gentlemen comes by with a cart filled with goodies ranging from more chocolate to yogurt etc. A really nice touch! From the hotel, a right turn after exiting takes you to the the Bahnhofstrasse shopping area with everything imaginable...lots of chocolate shops, restaurants, boutiques abound...quiet walks down the Limmat River lead to different areas of Old Town...and at the end of the Bahnhofstrasse is Lake Zurich. The hotel is perfectly situated. Elegance, efficiency, location and a great staff make the Hotel Schweizerhof the "go to spot" while visiting Zurich.

The Schweizerhof has a surprisingly small entrance and reception area for a smart hotel, but the staff are charming, especially the gentleman who comes round every evening with a trolley to replenish anything missing in your room.   The single rooms are also small but perfectly comfortable, and have - a bonus - a proper bath rather than a cramped shower booth. There is an iron and ironing board and the air conditioning is effective (much needed - it was 30C+ outside). There were pieces of fresh fruit and mini chocolate bars in the room on my arrival, which were replenished daily.  The breakfast buffet is reasonably comprehensive (if I had to nitpick, they overcooked the scrambled eggs and undercooked the bacon, but both were perfectly edible) and you can order e.g. eggs Benedict off-menu, for a supplement.  The location is perfect for business in the city centre, for access to the main train station across the road, or as a base for tourism. I shall definitely return.

Great location across from the train station, and a quick ride to the airport. I stayed for 3 nights and the service was excellent from check in to check out! The breakfast that was included was also very good. Rooms were clean and staff was very pleasant. Felt safe as a solo traveler. I would recommend this hotel.

Great ambience, staff are great, food is adequate - the buffet could have been a little more substantial but the quality was high. The orange juice was excellent. My Latte's kept coming out cold which is ordinary. The bed is awful. It has electronic adjustment but the mattress is too thin. I woke up with a sore back. And given the room price, I have marked this review down from a 5 to a 4.

My flight to the UK had been cancelled, and I had a last minute stay at the Schweizerhof, and I ended up being so lucky I did! My room was beautiful and well designed for sleep with a separate area for work, the breakfast lavish and delicious, and the staff extremely accommodating with the friendly and helpful Concierge, Johnathan, a real star as he helped me with rebooking my flight under difficult circumstances of the UK air traffic control fiasco. It was a great, very personal experience, I couldn't recommend it more highly. The only flight I could manage was super early in the morning and Johnathan helped with the 5 am train ticket and made sure I was ok. The location of the hotel, only steps from the elegant beaux arts train station, made travel to the airport a breeze. It is also close to an excellent shopping district and easy walking distance from the Old Town, river walk, and Zurich's excellent museum, where I spent many happy hours, then returning to the Schweizerhof where I was equally pleased at my surroundings.

We stayed at this hotel twice during our trip to Switzerland this summer. The first time we only stayed for one night on the first day when we arrived to Switzerland before we started our entire journey. They gave us a very small room. It was small but very well maintained. We could tell they did a lot of work to keep everything in the room in good order, from the floor, walls, beddings and the bathroom. The breakfast and other services were also great so we decided we would stay here again for the last few days of our trip before we left the country. The second time they gave us a hugh room with a lot of amenities upgraded. It had a large floor to ceiling window with electric blinds and we loved it so much. The location of the hotel cannot be better. It is across the street to the main train station. Originally I worried it might be too noisy or too busy but that was not the case. The Bahnhofstrasse happens to be the main shopping street too. This allowed us to make multiple shopping trips on the last day of our stay so we could sent the items we just bought back to the room and took a break on the hot summer day before we went out an shopped again. Every staff member we met was very helpful. I had to sign a document and scanned back to the sender, and they helped me with that right away. Breakfast area was busy but not messy. We will definitely go back again.
