Widder Hotel - Zurichs Luxury Hideaway

Best ever. Amazing service. Great bar too

住吧，很滿意，早餐很贊，位置不用説，再住蘇黎世酒店還是這裏

Fabulous luxury boutique hotel perfectly located in an Old Town location. Walkable to pretty much everything, a range of Michelin-starred restaurants, and less than a 10-minute walk from Zurich Haupt Banhof. Loads of sights to see, the Fraumunster Church with the Chagall stained glass works is 3 minutes away. The riverwalk area is also close by – a nice stroll on a sunny afternoon. Room 304 – huge and oversized by European standards with a sitting area (love seat, coffee table and easy chair), a full-size working desk, king size bed, bathroom with tub/shower combination and a heated floor; bathrobes and slippers, bar/mini fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, free water and sodas from the mini-bar; in-room safe and large wardrobe/suitcase area. In contrast the cramped apartment we came from in Davos could have fit inside this room with space to spare. All the rooms have their own name and are individually decorated, blending the old building with modern décor elements. Our room had a wooden beamed, hand-painted ceiling. The elevator area shows the original old stones from ancient buildings-an interesting study of the old and the new blended together for style and functionality. The daily breakfast was nice blending hot meal choices ordered from the waiter and then help yourself to the cold buffet with fruit, yogurt, outstanding breads, rolls and pastries, local Swiss charcuterie, and cheeses. I had Eggs Benedict and then Eggs Florentine another morning. There are bakeries, delis and a major grocery store within a few minutes’ walk too. The view from the room (above the front entrance) is the shops and apartment across the street. Very quiet – no hallway noises, and very little street noise as it’s a pedestrian area. The blackout drapes work well – no need to use my eyemask or earplugs here. Taxis and Ubers can drop off/pick up. The staff are the stars of the hotel. My partner fell seriously ill while there and they were kind, compassionate, and connected us with a good clinic around the corner from the Zurich Main Train Station / Zurich HB. Since my traveling companion could eat very little while ill, Room Service heated up Miso soup, instant noodles and plain rice and delivered it to our room. Every day the hotel staff checked in, keeping track of progress. We considered moving to an apartment with a full kitchen to cook special food but preferred to stay at the hotel so if things got worse, the staff knew how to call emergency services if needed, where to go, etc. The medical clinic, Permanence on Limmatstrasse, adjacent to the train station is about a 13-minute walk from the hotel is a marvel of efficiency and Swiss spotlessness – on a walk-in basis he was in the door at 8:AM, bloodwork at 8:10am, saw the first doctor at 8:25am, got test results at 8:40, saw a second doctor there, diagnosis made, and out the door around 9:30am with multiple prescriptions filled at the clinic – all for under US$300. We made multiple trips
