"Built on the site of Roman and Celtic ruins, the unassuming 5-star Widder Hotel comprises nine medieval townhouses that were painstakingly renovated over a 10-year period by Swiss architect Tilla Theus. The results are jaw-dropping, from the unusual structures such as circular rooms and passages that refer architecturally to a Roman well uncovered during construction, to the mix of antiques and modern designer furnishings (Eames, Frank Lloyd Wright) in the rooms. Alongside the 35 standard rooms, 14 suites also mix the old with the new, featuring works of art by the likes of Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol, contemporary design classics by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, and original medieval frescoes, exposed-beam ceilings, and brick or stone walls. All rooms are equipped with a TV, Quadriga communication system, and two telephones. Widder Hotel also features three great restaurants, a bar with more than 1,000 spirits, and a cozy garden restaurant and lounge open in the warmer months."

I have stayed at The Widder in both their luxury apartments as well as their hotel too many times to count at this point over the past four years. It is and has always been a Five Star experience. Their location in Renweg is unmatched, their staff is kind, professional, knowledgable and dependable. Their apartments as well as hotel rooms are always immaculately clean and well appointed. I cannot say enough nice things about this hotel and their staff. I used to stay at The Dolder Grand and while that is a gorgeous property as well, it is FAR removed from the activities of the city and you need a car or Uber to go anywhere. So if you want to be in the heart of the city as well as have a Five Star Experience with walkability to all the great shopping, restaurants and river/ Lake Zürich, The Widder is your place!

We had lunch in the garden of the hotel which is a beautiful setting and the food was absolutely delicious. It was a very hot day (30 degree’s) and at one point two people of our group were sitting completely in the sun, including their heads. We asked for some shade, the answer was simply that they didn’t have sufficient umbrellas and left it like that. Only after another table left they would move the umbrella to our table. That spoiled the experience.

This hotel was unique and very welcoming. While the building is historic, the interior feels modern and creatively designed. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. When we arrived I noted that the staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. We also visited two of the hotel’s bars, which were lively places with live music and a huge menu of cocktails and bourbons. Would 100% come back to Zurich again would look forward to staying here!

A fabulous stay in the historic old town of Zurich. Perfect location for walking around the old town area. Beds were very comfortable, room was spacious and we experienced great service from staff. Included breakfast was lovely. Would definitely return if ever in Zurich.

The Widder Hotel is a must-stay hotel when in Zurich. We were so impressed with the staff. They were exceedingly helpful, friendly and professional. The room was light, and well appointed with high quality linens, mini-bar, coffee and tea service. The location of the hotel is right near everything we wanted to see and extremely walkable. Highly, highly recommend when staying in Zurich.

The team at the Widder is great and really makes this place inviting. On the other hand, when you spend 1€k on a room, one would expect breakfast to be included. Nope, not here, we spent another 100€ for breakfast. BTW, if you want a mimosa with breakfast, it's an additional 22€. Out of control. Unfortunately I will have to explore my options next time in Zurich.

It is impeccable in every detail. Even though Widder isn't completely newly renovated it is so well run and handled. The staff is super attentive and impressively into details: they even remember their clients names. |Breakfast good, location good, temperature good, linen good, service good, soap and shampoo good. If the Devil is in the details, he is not at Widder.

Room decoration really not adequate and nice. Service greedy specially at breakfast: everything is made upon instruction received that you consume the least possible for free. Only the people at the reception are really nice especially the concierge. For this price I will definitely choose another hotel even if we have to pay more.

The Widder Hotel is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. It is a wonderful hotel, located in the heart of the city, which is an excellent location. It is well deserving of its 5 star rating. The Widder made our visit to Zurich perfect. The entire experience was top notch, from the well-designed comfortable room to the gourmet breakfast at the Widder Restaurant and the expertly made cocktails at the Widder Bar. The friendly and gracious staff made us feel welcome. We loved our room and appreciated the windows overlooking Rennweg Street, which allowed us to enjoy the fresh air and see the full moon most nights we stayed there. We would definitely stay at the Widder upon our return to Zurich and would recommend it to any of our friends planning to visit Zurich.

Edit: I was going to leave a 3-star review so that my requests were taken seriously, but cannot in good conscience after experiencing the world-class complementary breakfast! Perhaps the most stylish hotel in Zurich, but not a great value compared to The London Edition, Soho House Berlin, or the Proper Santa Monica (all of which are as well positioned as the Widder in their prospective cities). Our historic junior suite is charming and has an especially great bathroom setup. But, some of the elements that I've come to expect from a luxury hotel are lacking. For over $1300 per night, I expect to be able to make a dinner reservation at the hotel restaurant same day, have access to the 24hr gym without stopping by the front desk (on a different floor) each time, have a bluetooth speaker provided in the room, warmer lighting throughout the hotel, heavier dumbbells in the gym, and most importantly, not be woken up by someone ringing my room twice at 10am (hours before I planned to wake). Also, it's odd that our bed is two twins pushed together on wheels with a gap between them. It's worth noting that the staff has been friendly and generally helpful (especially the concierge). Plus, the hotel is immaculate and visually interesting.

Best hotel we have ever stayed in. The room was beautiful and had a lovely view. The bed was super comfy and the location was amazing. The best thing about this hotel is the service. It is absolutely exceptional. We asked for a fan and they brought it up Instantly. They gave us a lovely umbrella. Swiss air lost our luggage so they loaned us a charger adapter and helped us get our luggage back. Absolutely incredible staff. Yes it's expensive but it's totally worth every penny. Thank you to the Widder staff!!!

I have been coming to the Widder for over 15 years and every time I come, I have loved it even more. Each room is unique and combines preservation with modern style and amenities Which make the rooms both elegant and comfortable. The staff are exceedingly kind and helpful. The location is also in the heart of old town with lots of great areas to walk nearby. It is also convenient if you are in town for work and want to have the ability to get around the city while also being close to great restaurants. The hotel has been very well-maintained. Even through Covid. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when I'm in Zürich.

The Widder is fantastically situated in Zurich. The rooms are fine - not bad/not great. The concierge is fantastic. The hotel staff, front desk & manager are poor. Checking in was a problem but instead of attempting to rectify the room mix up the front desk staff & front desk manager basically said tough luck. No attempt at manners. The manager was less than helpful when it came to directions or resources. The rooms are hot, little to no AC. The housekeeping service is inattentive & dismissive. For the price - I'd keep looking.

Great location! Staff is super friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions and directions. Small rooms but the area is perfect you won't spend much time in the room.

Fantastic place. So friendly (even with our two young boys who are ridiculously noisy!). Rooms very comfortable and well fitted out. Trendy yet not having to scream "don't touch!" Architecture a great mix of 1000 year old building with modernist glass and steel internal design. Lovely breakfast in the pavilion restaurant. Can't impress enough how welcoming and friendly the staff are. Great place for a romantic weekend away for two, but not out of bounds for family!

Be ready! I ate in the restaurant ten days ago and received wonderful service. I wanted to come back and experience it once again; however, to my chagrin a good luncheon turned into a disaster. I remember that Switzerland voted years ago to include tips in the pricing of meals at restaurants. So, when it came time to pay, my son asked the waiter if the tip was included to which the waiter - an non-Swiss - answered: "No, tips are not included." I then got into an argument with the waiter about the in- or exclusion of the tip. Other restaurant guests, Swiss patrons, agreed with me. I am so disappointed that this respectable business is taking advantage of unsuspecting foreign patrons. Shame on you Widder Hotel.
