"A Modern Sanctuary High Above the City What this 66-room property lacks in proximity to the Old Town (it’s a 25-minute tram ride to Bahnhofstrasse), it more than makes up for with its prime hillside perch on the Zürichberg overlooking the city below, and just beyond, Lake Zürich and the majestic snow-capped Alps. Spread across a restored Art Nouveau building and a modern annex with a Guggenheim-like corkscrew ramp, the minimalist, stylish rooms come with shocks of color—for instance, purple Arne Jacobsen Swan chairs. Guests can borrow bikes to make their way to the nearby Fluntern Cemetery, where James Joyce is buried, or meander the wooded paths of the Zürichberg forest."

"Perched high on the wooded Zurichberg hill about a 10-minute drive from downtown, this classically designed 19th-century hotel—modernized inside—offers 66 sleek, minimalist rooms and suites with warm wood accents, private workspaces, and sweeping views over the city and Lake Zurich. Guests receive complimentary breakfast featuring a buffet of fresh fruits, yogurts and Swiss cheeses plus made-to-order eggs and pancakes, and there is a dedicated mimosa bar; dinner at the on-site restaurant emphasizes traditional Swiss dishes prepared with locally grown produce and is especially enjoyable when eaten outdoors. Public spaces include a veranda/terrace just off the ground-floor lobby that provides some of the best vistas in Zurich, and amenities such as a bar, concierge, ballroom and meeting rooms; bikes are available free for exploring the hill or riding into the city. Quiet and green despite its proximity to the urban center, the property is well placed for visits to nearby attractions like Zurich Zoo, the FIFA Museum, Kunsthaus Zürich, the Blumenuhr and ETH Zurich. Rated four stars with rooms starting around $220/night, it serves as a peaceful mountain escape with easy access to the city and surrounding nature walks and hikes."
