Hotels in Zurich

Aries Hotel

The five-star Widder Hotel in Zurich’s old town consists of eight interconnected houses from the Middle Ages. One of them was formerly the butcher’s (ram) guild. The hotel is named after the 13th century Augustinian monastery that once stood here. The 35 rooms and 14 suites are individually decorated; the clever combination of old and new is clever. The 17th century frescoes and historic wooden floors are particularly noteworthy. The hotel restaurant serves excellent Swiss and vegetarian cuisine, and the Widder Bar is known for its good jazz music. The “Library of Spirits” has a large selection of international spirits, especially single malt whiskeys.

Hotel Seehof

This hotel is very close to the opera and on Lake Zurich and is popular with both trend-conscious young business people and opera singers.
