Book the Widder Hotel Zurich with VIP Benefits

Comprised of eight national monuments-turned-townhomes, the Widder Hotel Zurich sits in the heart of Zurich. Medieval touches pair effortlessly with modern chic at this Swiss luxury hotel designed by renowned architect Tilla Theus. Moreover, the ideal location puts guests steps away from shopping and sightseeing. The Widder Hotel Zurich comprises 49 individually designed rooms with luxurious amenities and fine dining that will make your stay here unforgettable.

Location

The Hotel Zurich's location is ideal for business and leisure travelers alike. Guests staying at the resort will be only a few steps away from Bahnhofstrasse's iconic shopping district. Additionally, there is plenty of exploring in the historic Augustiner Quarter, including Grossmunster and the panoramic Lindenhof Park. The train station, as is the city's financial district, is a short walk away.

Guest Rooms

Home to 35 guest rooms, each one has unique touches that highlight the historical importance of the building. Rooms are all over the eight fully-restored townhouses. Furthermore, all rooms include air conditioning units, internet access, and a minibar. Large bathtubs, showers, Nespresso machines, and Bang & Olufsen TVs exist.

Are you worried that the hotel bed won't be as comfortable as the one you have at home? No worries, as all of the mattresses, are fully adjustable. Soothing reading lights will also help you wind down for the night. Besides, sensory lights will softly light your way from the bed to the bathroom if you can't hold it in the middle of the night.

Room options include the straightforward Design Single Room with a view overlooking the city. There are also the Design Queen Room and the Courtyard Queen Room, with a secluded view of the hotel's private courtyard and more contemporary design features. The Deluxe Double Room also has a king bed or two twins plus a view overlooking the city.

Junior Suites

Junior Suites have two options - the Historic Junior Suite or the Duplex Junior Suite. The Historic Junior Suite has a king-sized bed (or two twins). Besides, it is beautifully finished with wood paneling, tile stoves, or seventeenth-century paintings.

The standard guest room amenities include a seating area and a large bathroom. The Duplex Junior Suite has two different design styles: cozy, rustic, or new-age urban. Whichever design you choose, you'll be getting the most elbow room in these two-story suites. Plus, there is a sofa bed and a king-sized bed or two twins.

Full Suite Options

Of the 14 suites available, the Widder Hotel has six full-suite options. The Courtyard Suite and Spa say it all in the name: quiet courtyard views and a separate spa attached to the bathroom make this option luxurious. The Family Suite is perfect for four guests. It has one private bedroom and a separate annex with additional beds. Alternatively, the Historic Suite is ideal for couples needing more elbow room and larger living space (complete with Le Corbusier sofas) to enjoy coffee or breakfast.

The Design Suite boasts an ultra-modern open floor plan, but the real highlight is the rooftop terrace. The Design Loft Suites don't all have a rooftop terrace. However, they come with a large soaking tub, a large shower, and plenty of furniture by Frank Lloyd Wright to relax throughout the Suite.

Moreover, the Penthouse Suite will give views of the city, the Alps, and the lake from its rooftop terrace. It also includes a full dining room, a living room with a fireplace, a Jacuzzi bathtub, and a guest bathroom.

Full suites come with extra perks as well. These include an ironing service, complimentary champagne, free souvenir, room-service breakfast, and VIP treatment. In addition, stays in the Penthouse Suite include complimentary transportation to and from the airport in one of the hotel's Mercedes.
