Property Features
This 3-star boutique hotel occupies a neoclassical building from 1879. It offers free WiFi throughout the property and has an elevator. Guest amenities include a terrace, ironing facilities, and garden furniture. The hotel is owner-managed and features Swiss Made design furniture.
“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.”
