The Park Hyatt Zurich is the city's modern luxury address, a polished, contemporary hotel on the Beethoven-Strasse in the Enge district, a short stroll from the lake and about one and a half kilometres from the main station. It sits in the heart of the city's business and banking area, close to the Bahnhofstrasse and the Paradeplatz, and it caters to guests who value service, calm and well-designed space over historic character. The hotel has a restaurant, Parkhuus, which serves Swiss gourmet cuisine, and the Onyx Bar, known for its cocktails, rare spirits and wines. Wellness is covered by the Club Olympus Spa and Fitness, with a spa, sauna, steam bath and an exercise gym; no pool is listed, so check when you book if swimming matters to you. The rooms are air-conditioned, high-speed internet is free and there is indoor parking. The hotel also has eight meeting rooms, including a ballroom, so it is a popular choice for corporate events and weddings. It is not a hotel for the Old Town atmosphere, because it is a few minutes' ride from the lanes of the Niederdorf, but it makes up for it with comfort, quiet and proximity to the lake. It suits couples seeking a special stay, business travellers and visitors who treat the hotel as part of the trip, with a spa afternoon and a cocktail in the evening.
What to expect
A contemporary five-star style of service, with spacious rooms, quality bedding and bathrooms designed for comfort. Because the hotel sits in a business district, weekends are quieter than weekdays, and rates can be better at weekends outside the events season. Ask for a higher floor if you want the best outlook, and mention any special occasion when booking, since luxury hotels often add a welcome gesture. The hotel's modern design contrasts with the historic buildings of the Old Town, which is a pleasant change after a day of sightseeing.
Eating and drinking
Parkhuus is the main restaurant, serving Swiss gourmet cuisine, and the Onyx Bar is the place for a cocktail or a glass of wine from a serious list. The hotel is also a short walk from the lake, where restaurants and bars line the shore in summer.
The Club Olympus Spa and Fitness offers sauna and steam bathing and a fitness room, and it is a good place to recover after a day on foot. Check the opening hours of the restaurant and the bar for your dates, and book a table for the weekend, since the restaurant draws local guests.
Location and who it suits
The Enge location puts the hotel within easy reach of the Bahnhofstrasse, the lake and the Rietberg museum, with trams and trains nearby for the rest of the city. The main station is about 1.3 kilometres away, which is a short taxi or tram ride, and the airport is about ten kilometres. It suits couples, business guests and anyone who wants a high level of service.
If you prefer a historic building in the middle of the Old Town, choose the Widder or the Storchen instead, and if you want a lower price, look at the mid-range hotels in Seefeld or Kreis 4. Book early for the peak events in summer and at the Christmas market season.
