Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

Great location steps away from the main train station. Easy walk to Old Town and amazing shops and restaurants. Outstanding service, probably the best service I have ever experienced at a hotel. Rooms are very clean. Excellent food at the cafe in the hotel, and very good breakfast. Lots of little touches like fruit and chocolate in the room that makes it feel special. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Zurich.

An exceptional stay at Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich! The moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism. Situated just steps from the central station, the location is unbeatable—perfect for exploring the city or catching a train. Our room was elegantly furnished, spotlessly clean, and equipped with all the comforts we could hope for—luxurious bedding, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches throughout. Service at the Schweizerhof was truly outstanding. From the friendly concierge offering insider tips on Zurich’s best spots to the attentive reception and housekeeping teams, every staff member went above and beyond. The breakfast buffet was a delight—fresh, varied, and beautifully presented, including regional pastries, high-quality coffee, and healthy options. We also loved the elegant lobby bar, where we enjoyed a relaxing drink in a refined atmosphere. Whether for business or pleasure, this hotel blends classic charm with contemporary convenience perfectly. A stay here feels both sophisticated and inviting—highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!

This hotel is incredible. The staff goes out of their way to help with any questions or issues you may have. The breakfast is excellent served in a beautiful dining room. Rafael was fantastic as our waiter outside. Highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel deserves more than 5 stars. The location (across from train station, near trams, buses, steps away from excellent shopping and restaurants) staff (they are the gold standard of genuine service and hospitality) and accommodations (comfortable beds, nice toiletries, turn down service) are exceptional. The hotel is classic and every single detail is perfection from the comfortable beds to fresh flowers and fruit trays in your room. We arrived after a long flight with little sleep and the staff helped us to check in early and even guided us to a cafe for breakfast and coffee as we waited for them to prepare our room. I not sure it is possible express how impressive this hotel made our stay in Zurich.

Could not beat the location opposite the Zurich Station, best for day trips to Lucerne & Basel for us. There was no Concierge at the door to help with luggage though. We needed to go inside to ask for help. On arrival, we were offered welcome drinks & towel, which was the only one out of the 3 hotels we visited in Switzerland. Need to enter the Hotel with card after hour, which made us feel safe despite it's close to Station.||Room size was good but we did not have any view in the room. Amenities were classic, with added touch like eye cream & night cream samples, water, & fresh fruit & small chocolate. House-keeping was professional, though it would have been even better should slippers be replenished during our 3-night stay.||We chose the option to include breakfast, which was sumptuous, delicious & service was very good.||The Hotel gave us a CHF35 coupon. It's our fault all 4 of us did not read properly & thought it included drinks, but the coupon only offered 10% off drinks. So be aware!||Overall, had an enjoyable stay. Would not hesitate to recommend the Hotel.

Very comfortable large rooms beautifully furnished. The hotel is directly across the street from the main Zurich train station, so it's super easy to get anywhere both within and outside the city quickly. Rooms were clean and staff was very helpful. We also ordered room service while there, provided by the in house restaurant and delicious with fresh ingredients.

It's an excellent hotel with immediate access to the station. If you're staying for a few days or more, it would be a perfect center of operations. If you're staying just overnight--say, for a very early train--you might weigh cost v. convenience before committing.

It has the best location in Zurich, directly across from the train station. So convenient when lugging all the suitcases. And it got better after checking. It's a beautiful hotel, with elegant rooms (we were in #514) and furnishing. We dined at Cafe Gourmet and La Soupiere, where they served great food and provided wonderful service. We felt pampered by the wait staff. We are of a minority race and are more aware how we are treated when traveling. We felt nothing but warmth from the people in Switzerland. I know Switzerland is an expensive country to visit, but to me it's worth every franc.

When traveling out of the country it is so important that my hotel has great amenities. Not only did this hotel deliver but it was conveniently located. Walking distance to so many different points of interest. Where I could not walk, the train depot is literally across the street from my hotel. I slept like a baby in my power controlled bed that I could elevate with the push of a button. My tv remote had to be charged or I could control the tv using my phone. So cool. Also, there was fresh fruit in my room daily. The hotel breakfast was pretty good; always the freshest of everything. The concierge took great care in booking two of my excursions. Elevators are super small. No other complaints to report.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the entire staff--doormen, bell hops, registration staff and even the staff of the restaurant. We were given warm towels to freshen our hands and a choice of Prosecco or orange juice too. Our floor is under renovations with the carpets covered with cloth and tape. But our room is small but comfortable. The adjustable queen bed was a nice surprise too. We loved the ambient lighting--one set for relaxing, one for cleaning, one for work etc. They have a unique way of alerting hospitality that you wish to not be disturbed--a red tassel for do not disturb and a green tassel for clean our room Or provide turn down service. We are looking forward to our free breakfast tomorrow.

Just across the street from the Zurich main train station. Very convenient, tons of stuff around. Includes a hot breakfast every morning. Eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, etc. My fav part is the adjustable bed. The room was comfortable and clean. They give you fruit and chocolate in your room. Every day. I would stay here again.

The location of this hotel is very convenient. It's right across the street from Bahnhofplatz - Zurich's main train station which has a direct connection to/ from the airport which only takes about 15 minutes. Right outside is a tram stop. Trams 7 and 13 stop here for sure and I forgot the other trams that stop here as well. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and chocolatiers nearby. The hotel has a nice restaurant as well. It's quite pricey at $270+/night which includes breakfast and WiFi. I didn't get to enjoy the hotel breakfast as I had other breakfast plans...or I'm out the hotel way too early for breakfast. But do know that Zurich is one of the most expensive cities to visit in the world. They're 2nd on the list as of 2019 tied with Paris. So, paying at least $150/night for a hotel room is not unheard of. The room kind of looks old but it's clean. Enough space for 1 person. There's a 24hr gym. The usual flatscreen TV, toiletries, and other hotel room amenities. You're mainly paying for Zurich...and the convenient location.

While this hotel is only Rated at 4-Stars, the decor, location, and European style easily gives it 5-Stars in my book! I found a special deal thru Booking.com for this accommodation at a Low-Rate of $246 (original pricing over $400) for a Standard Double Room with One Queen Bed. Coming from Luxembourg, this hotel is a less than 10 minute walk from Bahnhofstrasse, where the main train station is located. I had time to check in, have a quick beer at the restaurant, and then it was off for an event at the Kaufleuten to see Nervo and Friends. It is a shame I didn't take pictures inside the hotel or breakfast buffet because everything was impeccable! I recommend this hotel for its class, comfort, but mainly for the location. The famous pedestrian shopping street Bahnhofstrasse is just a stone's throw away from the hotel's doorstep with shopping and restaurants you do not want to miss! Zurich's up-and-coming neighbourhood famous "Europaallee", the classic financial district by Paradeplatz and Zurich's sightseeing spots are all within steps of the hotel. They treated me like a king during my stay and will treat you the same if you end up staying here during your trip to Zürich!

We've been here two days and love it. The staff are professional and extremely polite. The amenities are awesome and the location can't be beat. If you get the chance I strongly suggest you stay here.

Stayed here this past week so I will start with the pros. Clean hotel, friendly staff and the breakfast I purchased with the room was always excellent. The beds are adjustable which is a nice plus and the shower was hot and perfect. (Really not a fan when hotels have no hot water and skimpy showers!) The room had nice amenities and the Concierge was always helpful and so friendly. Locally close to many restaurants and places in walking distance. The room comes with WiFi which is nice. I really wanted to give 5 stars although the cons cannot be overlooked. The room A/C was not cool enough so many nights I did not sleep well. Yes, I spoke to someone at the front desk and was told 'by law' it could only go down to 19c. Even with the fan running all night it was warm so really do not think it was cooling to 66 F. Another is it is conveniently across from Zurich HB train station and was very noisy from approximately 6:00 am until 10:00 at night. Lots of traffic. I thought I could sleep with the window open to cool down the room but no luck. I always stay at a hotel across from the train station when traveling abroad, if I can, although this hotel appeared more noisy than others. The room was a single, much smaller than the online picture, so I was tiptoeing around my large luggage, etc. My room was also across from the housekeeping office (not sure if that was what it was) but they need to be respectable of guests still in their rooms. The staff talking in the early morning woke me a few times which was not fun after not sleeping well due to the warm room. I think if you stay out late, wake up early, and enjoy a warmer room then this is a great hotel. Zurich shuts down early soooooo........ :)

Coming from NYC we knew Swiss hotels would be luxurious but the Schweizerhof right across from HB (main train) station is regal from the moment you step in. The outside of the building looks like a lot of western European buildings but the lobby is beautiful and the bar/cafe connected to the hotel is gorgeous and always full of sophisticated people, visitors and locals alike it seems! The rooms seemed refurbished as this was the second time we stayed here and for the price tag, the room is a bit small but our company paid for it so whew! The location can't be beat though altho transportation in Zurich is better than any other system you will find in the entire world!

A bumpy start but as far as I am concerned a must place to stay. Service unbelievable. Staff always attentive and helpful. Special shout out to Jay, our waiter!!! Thank you !!
