Storchen Zurich

Not our first stay at the Storchen, which is a hotel we love. This one though was special...we had a "big" anniversary celebration and it was our choice to spend it there. We had a Corner Panoramic room (our favourite!) and the skies were clear and the view was truly panoramic. We could see all the way to the Alps across the lake. The room is quite large with a sitting area and a desk. The bathroom is very nice AND the night lighting is quite amazing. Low light on the floor so you know where to go and in the bathroom but not enough light to wake anyone up. The breakfast at the Storchen is just great. We had Eggs Benedict (unusual here in Switzerland) and I opted to have mine on "hash browns" which was in reality a little rösti. Fresh OJ, Prosecco etc. We will be back at the Storchen in May and plan to have dinner there then. (fingers crossed it will be warm enough to eat on the terrace overlooking the river). The Storchen is not a big hotel and the service is very friendly - everyone has a smile for you! Great place!!

I loved the location right above the Limmat River, the food in the main restaurant, where we had an extended lunch with friends, also the view from the terraces (especially in summer on the rooftop terrace), and in particular the cigar bar which is a real gem. Prices are steep, but that's Zurich.

Our family had a quick stop over in Zurich since we had an early morning international flight the next morning. Storchen was perfect. We had a family room for four of us which was perfect. Location is wonderful and we were able to shop, have fun by the lake and eat at nice places in old town in spite of having very little time! Service at the hotel was superb!

The Storchen is perfectly located in the old walking town. Every store and restaurant was within walking distance. The only caveat was the size of the rooms and bathrooms. I personally won't return to the hotel for this reason but everything else was nice and convenient.

Great location for rest and exploration. We stayed in the riverside junior suite which was huge and very nice. A separate bathroom and dressing area made for not disturbing my wife as she slept. Everything was fully functional and clean. The view to the river, the proximity to the train, the quietness of the location (at least for our room) and extremely helpful staff made for a great introduction to Switzerland.
