One of the great things about Zurich is that the city has an excellent network of public transport, which is very easy to navigate. Even if you choose to stay in an area that\u2019s not centrally located, you won\u2019t be more than 15 minutes from Bahnhofstrasse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The areas mentioned here are great for everyone, whether it\u2019s your first or tenth time in the city. So, let\u2019s take a look together at all the best places to stay in Zurich!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why should you trust me with these recommendations? Because I know Zurich like the back of my hand and am very well acquainted with the city\u2019s attractions. And because I research a lot of hotels before I prepare for a trip, and I enjoy sharing what I\u2019ve uncovered.\u00a0Combine that with Dave and Deb\u2019s knowledge after a few visits and you can be sure we know this city.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve included only top-rated hotels in this guide, which will enhance your experience of the Swiss city. No matter which hotel you choose, you will enjoy quality service, clean rooms, and easy access to Zurich\u2019s best attractions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Best Zurich Hotels<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a big city with lots of neighborhoods and countless hotels; however, Zurich\u2019s city center is walkable, and most of the city\u2019s best attractions are close to one another. That\u2019s why the central part of the city is the best option for first-time visitors who want to be in the center of action. But it can get quite busy, especially in the peak season, so I\u2019ve also included less central options with fewer crowds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you book a hotel at Bahnhofstrasse or one near the airport \u2013 you\u2019ll never be more than 20 minutes away from central Zurich by train or tram. Also, the location doesn\u2019t even matter that much in terms of the price point; everything is expensive in Zurich, and hotels were never an exception.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Have Time To Read The Full Article?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s fine if you don\u2019t want to read everything I\u2019ve got to say about the best hotels in Zurich. Here\u2019s a quick summary of the best places to stay in the Swiss city:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where We Stayed\u00a0<\/h3>\n
\n
\"Where<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We stayed in Hotel Florhof in the Zurich Old Town and we loved it. Everything was close by and we barely had to use the trams and buses. Unfortunately, the hotel is closed at the moment for renovations, but I can recommend our second-best option in a similar price range \u2013 Hotel Alexander Zurich Old Town.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s even closer to the top Zurich landmarks but features a different decor style. It\u2019s only 5 minutes from the train station and 10 minutes from Grossmunster, plus the rooms offer nice views of the Zurich cityscape.<\/p>\n

District 1 (Altsdadt & City): Our Recommendation<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Where<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

District 1 is the central area of the city, stretching from Zurich\u2019s main train station in the north down to Lake Zurich in the south. It\u2019s the heart of the city with most of Zurich\u2019s best landmarks and attractions, which makes it the perfect destination for first-time visitors to the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An upside of such a central location is that all the top landmarks in Zurich are within walking distance from your hotel. And beautiful views of Zurich\u2019s rooftops and Lake Zurich stretch from most hotel rooms. <\/p>\n

However, a downside of District 1 is that even the cheapest hotels are expensive, but that can be said about virtually anything in Zurich.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Historic churches, the iconic Bahnhofstrasse, and some of the best museums in the city are all situated in this neighborhood. And so are all the best restaurants and cafes. Whether you want to spend your days roaming around the city streets or shopping endlessly, this is an excellent part of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
