Where to Stay

  • 25hours Hotel Langstrasse – A nightlife-focused base near the main station, with individual room designs and a top-floor sauna. A useful choice for dividing your weekend between central Zurich and the western club district.
  • Sorell Hotel St Peter – A four-star Old Town base with a gym and a choice of larger rooms and apartments. Pick it for a comfortable city break with the central sights on foot.
  • Hotel St Josef – A three-star option close to the Old Town and main station, with an on-site restaurant. A practical base for pre-party drinks and rail connections.
