Widder Hotel - Zurichs Luxury Hideaway – A Favorite for Families in Zurich
About the Hotel
Historic Luxury Rooms
The Widder Hotel spans nine medieval townhouses in Zurich's Old Town, blending historic architecture with modern design. Rooms range from 21 m^2 to 85 m^2, each uniquely furnished with mid-century classics by Le Corbusier or Eames. Some feature original frescoes, wooden beams, or rooftop terraces with views of Lindenhof and the Alps. Bathrooms include rainfall showers, heated floors, and Widder-branded toiletries.
Award-Winning Dining
The Widder Restaurant holds 18 GaultMillau points and 2 Michelin stars, serving French-inspired cuisine with local ingredients. Chef Stefan Heilemann offers a Chef's Table experience with open-kitchen views. Boucherie AuGust focuses on Swiss meat specialties like tartare and terrines. The Widder Bar serves craft cocktails, and the Widder Garage hosts live DJs on weekends.
City & Lake Access
Guests can use the hotel's private boat for transfers to Thalwil or explore Lake Zurich via pedalos. The gym has Technogym equipment, and jogging routes start steps from the hotel. Nearby landmarks include Lindenhof (300 m), Bahnhofstrasse (300 m), and Kunsthaus Zürich (1 km).
Prime Old Town Location
The hotel is 1 km from Zürich Hauptbahnhof and 15 km from Kloten Airport. A Mercedes S-class transfer is available for arrivals (CHF 150). The surrounding area features the Grossmünster (500 m), Swiss National Museum (1 km), and FIFA World Football Museum (1.5 km).
