Hotel Hirschen, a 3-star property rated 7.9/10 on Booking.com, is located in Niederdorf, the most popular district among tourists. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Zurich Main Station and a 2-minute walk from the Rudolf Brun Brücke tram station, with no parking spaces due to its location in the pedestrian zone. Nearby attractions include the Bahnhofstrasse, the museum of art, the Paradeplatz, and the Zürisee, all within a few minutes' walking distance. The hotel near Zurich Airport is accessible via public transport.

Cosy Furnished Rooms

The 27 cosy furnished rooms feature textile-free floor coverings, ensuite bathrooms with WC/shower, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. WLAN is available, and an elevator provides access from the reception area. Room types include 5 single beds, 11 small double beds (140 cm), 3 queen beds (160 cm), and 8 twin bedrooms.

Historic Wine Tavern

The Hirschen's Weinschenke offers more than 100 unique wines, accompanied by cold dishes like beef steak tartare and mixed platters with air-dried meat and cheese specialties. Guests can enjoy Swiss tapas with cheese and dry meat in the bar. The wine tavern, open from Tuesday, features a 14th-century well and a late medieval room with a glassed-in well from 1340.

Events & Wine Tastings

The hotel's roof terrace is available for events like weddings and anniversaries, with options such as mulled wine apéros. The Weinschenke provides a peaceful atmosphere with candlelit stone steps and a historical arched cave wine cellar. Guests can participate in tastings of 5 wines from neighboring countries, commented by Austrian hosts.

Guest Services & History

A digital guest folder provides restaurant recommendations, breakfast information, and important addresses like taxis and emergency services. The hotel's location offers easy access to the Opera, lake, Landesmuseum, Kunsthaus, and university. The building combines three separate structures, parts of which date back to the 13th century.

“The location is a definite plus, nestled in the heart of the old town and just a short walk from the train station and lake. The wine cellar, with its extensive selection, hints at a deeper connection to local culture, making it a solid choice for travelers seeking convenience and a touch of Zurich's historic charm. I think its proximity to local attractions-and that appealing courtyard-make it a worthwhile option.”
