Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich

We chose this hotel because of its convenient location: we were on our way to Basel after landing at Zurich airport. We caught the train from the airport to Zurich HB (7.50 euros) : after walking through the station following the signs to Bahnhofstrasse, we came up the escalator and it was magically right there. The front desk staff were kind and efficient. Even though we arrived at 9 am they were able to find us a room by 9:30 am. Our room was roomy and quiet, even though we faced the station. It also had nice touches like an adjustable bed, fresh fruit, and even a few chocolates. We did not buy their breakfast: instead we ate in the cafe, which had lovely pastries, omelets, etc. The cafe was more of an authentic Swiss experience as it was frequented by locals. It was a lovely walk 15 minute walk down Bahnhofstrasse to the lake, though with all the luxury shops it was also a test of our will-power. When we left the next day the doorman (Antonio) helped us with our bags all the way to the train station entrance. Choose this hotel if you like upscale rooms, service, and convenience: you will not be disappointed.

Excellent location: Located just across from Zurich main train station. Friendly and caring staff: Smiles everywhere with genuine care. Very comfy rooms: Lots of pillows and amentities. The adjustable bed was so cozy. Wonderful food: The main restaurant was closed Monday night. Had it not been closed I would have enjoyed their Veal Zurich style. Ok then I will have it when I am there again in Oct 2026. The breakfast buffet offers MANY choices....guaranteed to fill you to satisfaction.

Das Hotel liegt direkt an der Einkaufsstrasse von Zürich und direkt am Bahnhof. Das Personal ist unfassbar freundlich, zuvorkommend und höflich. Das Zimmer war geräumig, sehr sauber und da Bett ist sehr bequem. Uns hat das Hotel sehr gut gefallen und wir werden das beim nächsten Zürich-Besuch wieder buchen.

Straight out of the station to the front of the hotel. Staff took over our luggage and while checking in we were offered wine or orange juice. Staff were incredible and professional. We never had breakfast but did have dinner. The meal was as opulent as it was delicious, the staff once again made us feel special and the knowledge of the young waiters on wine, beer and food was excellent. We were given an upgrade to a Junior Suite with two bathrooms which made getting ready so easy. Bar staff were friendly and talkative and made a simple afternoon drink a pleasure. Chocolates on our pillows each night to the Butler with the complimentary snacks at 9pm made a lovely touch and once again sets the bar for other hotels. From check in to check out I have nothing but praise for this hotel and the staff.

That we couldn’t stay longer. Nothing else as everything was perfect.

This hotel is amazing in all facets. Great location, amazing upmarket service and presentation. Rooms are well presented, breakfast is great with a multitude of options. A must stay in Zurich.

My family and I stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time! The staff are so kind and courteous. We had young children with us and they took care of every possible request that we had. For example, they regularly got us milk for the baby whenever we needed. The thing that touched us most is that when we were leaving to the train station, the staff offered to help us with our luggage. They actually took our luggage for us to the train station and made sure we were settled before seeing us off. They really went out of their way to make us comfortable. Incredible!

Its proximity to transport facilities.( trams, trains) is its biggest advantage over other 5 star hotels. We travelled extensively in Switzerland for 3 weeks using Switzerlands outstanding train network and our main criteria for choosing accommodation is closeness to train stations. The hotel’s staff were par excellence. They were courteous, attentive and really helpful. Facilities were also outstanding.
