“Platzhirsch's owner-managed approach clearly sets it apart; the hotel feels more like a welcoming home than a transient space. Its location in Zurich's old town places you steps from both the Limmat River and the Grossmünster, perfect for an immersive city experience. I especially appreciate the on-site sushi lounge, a distinctive touch that elevates it beyond the typical boutique stay.”
