But the receptionist was very polite and made the switch for me right away and gave me a wonderful room with a view of the courtyard below, it felt like an upgrade! Yes in general the rooms and bathroom are smaller but that's just how it is in Europe and I actually felt the room was plenty spacious! Later on I went down to the wine cellar which was soo incredibly cozy and relaxing. The wine was delicious and the meat and cheese platter YUM. In comparison to other hotels in the area I feel I paid less than the others. Also the location is super convenient! I do recommend staying here.

Felt very nice and warm, but with a tropical flair to it, because of the amazing plats around us. It was perfect for our party theme, magical green and it was a nice ambiance for a party. Inside our tables where around big trees, which unfortunately covered a bit the stage. I was right behind one, so when the ceo gave her speech i had to move a bit to see something. The food was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. But i guess that depend also on what the company ordered. The dessert was the best of all, but the wine was again really bed so i didn't drink much. After dinner the dance floor was open and it was perfect! We used the stage and had lots of fun So in all a good venue for a big event!

Where in the world is Tom?…read more Well he's somewhere in Switzerland, but he might just be at a biker event or some kid's birthday party. Tom's Original Hot Dogs is a hot dog cart outfit. They have a few different styles of cart including one mounted on a Piaggio Ape. I've been lucky to catch the cart in Zürich on a couple of occasions when it was parked for a short stay in front of Globus and later spotted in front of Jelmoli. They stay for a couple of days or weeks and then they're gone. Vanished into mid-air. I haven't seen it since, although I'm constantly on the prowl. They have a tour schedule on their website but none of their venues are public or just aren't worth the trip. Their wieners are superb - crisp snap to the skin, beefy and well seasoned. The buns are in the American form, not the standard Swiss baguette with a hole. They're soft and sweet but, as is usually my complaint in Switzerland, still too bready. At least their not so tough that they require well-seated incisors. And the best part goes on top... the toppings. They have at least a dozen dog decorations that you can load up on until they start falling on your shoes. They amount to, but are not limited to: sauerkraut, grated cheese, relish, fried shallots, peppadews. And there are myriad sauces like curry, cocktail and of course mayo, mustard... and sri racha! I can't wait to see that silly little red motorized cart again, so I can down a dog.

Downtown Zurich easily reachable either by care, S-Bahn, or romantically by boat (recommended). The building has a historic foundation but - after the most recent renovation - has nicely incorporated a few very modern style elements. The rooms are Swiss-clean, very nice and comfortable; the best view onto the lake is from room 310. A large ballroom and several beautiful old-fashioned meeting rooms available for social events. The haute-cuisine dinner restaurant in the morning offers a beautiful breakfast buffet (included). A small fitness room and a super-relaxing spa with sauna, steam room, bath and a discrete and very pleasant scent in the air are a wonderful place for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The lack of communication and follow through has been an absolute nightmare. Let me start off by saying: we are longtime, loyal Hyatt guests and typically do not stay with other brands unless a Hyatt is unavailable. With that being said, we are very familiar with Hyatt properties and their service standards. However, this was our very first stay at a "Park" Hyatt (and we had saved almost all of our points for), and given the brand's reputation for elevated service, dining, and accommodations, our expectations were understandably high. The week prior we had actually stayed at a Hyatt Regency (considered "lower" than a park Hyatt) in Amsterdam--which exceeded our expectations--making this experience even more disappointing by comparison. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a bellhop and offered water while waiting to check in. The lobby was particularly stunning as it had a huge, non-artificial Christmas tree in the middle of the room. Check-in took longer than usual, and we were asked to wait in the hotel restaurant. After some time, a staff member who appeared to be a manager encouraged us to order whatever we wanted, stating it would be complimentary (never a good sign as it usually means they are conditioning you for some bad news). Shortly after, we were informed that the suite we had booked using 120,000 points was deemed insufficient for our family of five and that we would need to pay an additional $900 per night to be moved into a larger room against our will. Since the front desk had already issued key cards to the original suite, I went up to take a peek. Based on my observation, it was more than enough space for our family, particularly given that our children are young and require minimal space. However, after spending over an hour waiting and hoping to salvage the remainder of our evening, we reluctantly agreed to the upgrade--an additional $2,700 total--despite having already redeemed a significant number of points for what we believed was a suitable accommodation. The following morning, we went downstairs for breakfast and then returned upstairs to prepare for the day. When we made it up to our room, housekeeping greeted us and asked that we not enter, stating they had just begun turndown service. I let them know that our plans for the day could not meet that request and we would only need about 20 minutes in the room to brush teeth etc. They stated their request...again. We found this extremely unusual and uncomfortable, as we have never before been told we could not access our own hotel room. We proceeded to move into our room. When we entered the space, we found it partially turned down, which was expected and not an issue at all. However, one of the beds was visibly soiled. This was both surprising and concerning. Regardless of room category, this is not something we would expect at any Hyatt property--particularly after paying an additional $900 per night for the forced upgrade. Overall, this stay was disappointing and fell short of the service, cleanliness, and value we associate with both Hyatt and the Park Hyatt brand specifically. I would encourage future guests to explore other properties for a better bang for their buck. Based on our experience, this location did not meet the standards we have consistently experienced at other Hyatt properties worldwide.

I had the great fortune of staying at the Swissotel during a recent trip to Zurich and I can't say…read moreenough good things about it. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the hotel is very upscale, the rooms are adequately sized, clean and well-appointed and they offer a pillow menu and turndown service to boot. The hotel also has a free gym, pool, and steam room as well as a spa, business rooms, salon, and a Starbucks. The restaurant and bar is opened most (if not all) day long and has one of the best buffet breakfasts I've ever seen (for an extra charge). Around the hotel is a small suburb of Zurich and within a couple minute's walk are a mall, some restaurants, a grocery store, and the train station. The one and only downside of this hotel is that it' s not in the heart of town but by train or tram you're less than 10 minutes and only a few Francs away from all the tourist places.

The lobby looked fine, but temporarily doesn't look so good. The staff say the renovations should be complete by May 2014. In addition, the city of Zurich is making extensive renovations on the road just outside. So it is a little noisy on the street and barren in the lobby. The positives: the rooms are contemporary and quiet, the Oerlikon rail station is literally across the street, there's a Migros grocery chain directly in front of the hotel entrance & the hotel's Le Muh is pretty good (especially for breakfast). Some tips: guests should join the loyalty program for free internet service. The gym & indoor pool is located on the top floor & is open 24 hrs. Also, check rates and book early bc the hotel does match any other published rates.
