"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."

Why you should stay here: We had several nights at the Sorell Hotel Zürichberg. 5 reasons to book here: 1. Great rooms, which seem quiet. 🤫🛌 2. Friendly, happy, welcoming front desk staff. ❤️ 3. Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel. 🐶🦮 4. Really clean and nice room that is well maintained. 🧹🫧 5. Fantastic breakfast - great selection. 🍳 There is a lovely view, the hotel is within walking distance to the Zoo and streetcar. We arrived at the hotel early, and were allowed to check in at 11 am! The only down side is their air conditioning in the rooms, it is a bit of a joke that has a hard time keeping the room cool. 👎🏻❄️

I had an absolutely incredible stay! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. Everyone I encountered was not only professional, but also genuinely kind and attentive. The level of service was exceptional — you can tell the team truly takes pride in creating a great guest experience. The room was spotless, the amenities were top-notch, and every detail felt thoughtfully taken care of. I can’t recommend this hotel enough and will definitely be back! Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so memorable.

Hotel: The hotel’s location was ideal for relaxing after our day trips. Tram 6 made transportation easy, though there’s a slight uphill walk from the drop-off, which offers great views. The cleaning staff were attentive, regularly checking for our needs and surprising our daughter with a teddy bear. Restaurant: Breakfast was excellent, with Rosa, Ahmed, and the team ensuring we had everything we needed, from quick hot food to assistance with the coffee machine. Bar: I ordered an Old Fashioned that wasn’t on the menu, and the bartender confidently made two with Woodford, perfectly mixed. However, on our last night, service was poor. As the youngest couple, we received the least attention. After a frustrating wait for our order, we had to seek out another bartender who produced a subpar Old Fashioned that tasted like an Aperol Spritz. Luckily, he allowed me to return it for a complimentary beer.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel, it was stylish comfortable. We stayed in a room in the newer part of the hotel overlooking the lake. |The room was really comfortable & sitting out on the balcony with a coffee in the morning looking out over the lake in the distance was lovely. |Breakfast was really good quality, we ordered once to the room and down once, both were great. I enjoyed the addition of buzz fizz down at the restaurant. |The hotel is approx 20 mins down to town on the tram but we enjoyed taking this down and the trams were like every 10 mins and the station a pleasant 3 min walk from the hotel. |If we came back to Zurich, I would stay here.

Awesome stay, the rooms are clean and spacious. Located on the hill near the Zurich zoo with a forest nearby and beautiful lake views. Service is great. Food was tasty and there was a big buffet for breakfast.

We checked in promptly, but unfortunately, the experience quickly deteriorated. One of our family members started showering, only to discover the toilet could not flush. While a plumber was sent, he could not communicate in English, which made the situation more frustrating. I had to go down to the lobby myself to clarify the situation. ||The pillow was also far too soft. Under normal circumstances, I would have asked for a firmer one, but given the overall poor experience, I chose to just take it for the night.||What stood out most was the overall lack of engagement and poor attitude from the staff. It felt like even the most basic requests were a burden to them. ||The breakfast was quite OK, even though there was only one lady working. ||We are unlikely to recommend this hotel to our family and friends. |

The service, food and location was outstanding! We had a separate room for our family event. Everthing was very well prepared. Nice atmosphere. The view from the terrace is beautiful: the lake, the hills, the mountains and the city of Zurich - amazing. The building itself and the surroundings are beautiful. The food was very delicious, served in a very appealing way and all served at the same time. Our waiter Denis was fantastic. He has the right balance between great interaction with the people, awesome humor and superb professionalism. No wishes were left open. Many thanks to the entire team for this fantastic evening, you did an amazing job!
