Widder Hotel, Five-star hotel in Old Town, Zurich, Switzerland
The Widder Hotel occupies nine connected medieval townhouses, offering 49 individually designed rooms and suites with modern amenities and artistic elements throughout the property.
Originally constructed as separate medieval houses, the buildings were transformed into a hotel in 1984 when UBS acquired the property and commissioned Swiss designer Tilla Theus.
The hotel displays a collection of artworks by notable artists including Giacometti, Warhol, and Rauschenberg across its conference rooms and common spaces.
The property features three restaurants, a bar, seven meeting spaces, a wood-paneled fitness center, and stands within walking distance of Bahnhofstrasse shopping street.
Each guest room contains motion sensors that automatically illuminate night lights when someone steps onto the floor after dark.

Switzerland holds a range of five-star hotels spread between alpine peaks and lakeshores. In Zermatt, several large properties offer direct views of the Matterhorn, including the Riffelalp Resort at 7300 feet (2222 meters). In cities like Zurich, Geneva and Basel, you find 19th-century buildings often set by the water. The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel has stood on the Rhine since the 12th century. In Lausanne and along Lake Geneva, several palaces face the lake. Hotels in the Bernese Oberland sit in Interlaken, Gstaad and Engelberg, surrounded by mountains and valleys. On Lake Lucerne, the Hotel Schweizerhof in Lucerne and the Park Hotel Vitznau stand right by the shore. The Bürgenstock Hotel perches on a rock ledge above the lake. In Ticino, around Lugano and Locarno, buildings show Mediterranean facades and gardens with palms. Villa Honegg near Ennetbürgen offers a sweep of lake and mountain from its terrace. Most of these houses have restaurants with multiple stars, wine cellars and wellness areas. Some feature indoor and outdoor pools, others historic salons or modern spa facilites. The Suvretta House in St. Moritz and the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina sit above 5600 feet (1700 meters) and are ringed by ski terrain. In Crans-Montana and Gstaad, you find smaller resorts with alpine character.
