About Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg
The Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg is a unique architectural landmark situated in the prestigious Fluntern district, 200 meters above Lake Zurich. The hotel is composed of two distinct buildings: a meticulously restored Art Nouveau villa dating back to 1900 and a cutting-edge circular wooden annex completed in 1995. This combination creates an atmosphere that is both steeped in history and forward-thinking in its design. The hotel's location is its greatest luxury. Surrounded by the greenery of the Zürichberg forest, guests can step directly from the lobby onto scenic trails for running or hiking. The terrace is widely considered one of the best in Zurich, offering guests a front-row seat to the setting sun over the lake and the Glarus Alps. Inside, the design emphasizes natural materials, with an abundance of wood and glass that blurs the line between the interior and the forest outside. The Bijou Double Rooms offer a sophisticated retreat for travelers, focusing on high-quality finishes and a peaceful ambiance. Guests can expect a warm welcome from the 24-hour front desk and enjoy the convenience of on-site dining that celebrates the best of Swiss seasonality. With the Zurich Zoo nearby and the city center easily accessible by the iconic No. 6 tram, the Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg offers a tranquil vantage point over Switzerland's largest city, making it an ideal choice for those who value both style and serenity.
