Widder Hotel, Five-star hotel in Old Town, Zurich, Switzerland
The Widder Hotel is a five-star hotel in Zurich's Old Town, occupying nine interconnected medieval townhouses. The property contains 49 individually designed rooms and suites with modern facilities and artistic touches throughout.
The buildings date back to medieval times and were originally constructed as separate residences. In 1984, UBS purchased the properties and commissioned Swiss designer Tilla Theus to transform them into a modern hotel complex.
The hotel displays artworks by notable artists such as Giacometti, Warhol, and Rauschenberg in its conference rooms and common areas. This collection becomes part of the daily experience and adds a creative dimension that sets the space apart from typical hotel environments.
The property features three restaurants, a bar, seven meeting spaces, and a wood-paneled fitness center on-site. Its Old Town location makes the nearby Bahnhofstrasse shopping street and other attractions easily accessible on foot.
Each guest room is equipped with motion sensors that automatically turn on night lights when someone steps onto the floor after dark. This thoughtful feature demonstrates the attention to detail that defines the experience here.
