Hotel on Pfalzgasse in the Old Town close to the Lindenhof.

Hotel Kindli is a hotel at Pfalzgasse 1 in the Old Town of Zürich, Switzerland, close to the Lindenhof, the elevated terrace that marks the site of the Roman and medieval settlement above the Limmat. The setting is among the most atmospheric in the city: narrow lanes, stone stairways and historic buildings surround the property, and the Lindenhof offers a quiet viewpoint over the river and the rooftops. The Bahnhofstrasse, Paradeplatz and the main station are all within a short walk, and the lake is roughly fifteen minutes away. The address sits near the Rennweg area, a pedestrian shopping street linking the Bahnhofstrasse with the Old Town, so cafés, boutiques and restaurants are plentiful. The hotel is in the upscale category, with Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, and listed nightly rates of roughly CHF 250 to CHF 420. Amenities include wifi, available breakfast and a bar. The Old Town location suits couples and culture-minded visitors who want to explore on foot, and the church towers, guild houses and riverside paths are on the doorstep. Since traffic is restricted in much of the quarter, the surroundings are quieter by day than the Bahnhofstrasse, although the nearby Niederdorf can be lively on weekend evenings. Visitors with heavy luggage may find the cobbled, sloping lanes slow, and a short taxi or tram ride to the nearest accessible point can help. Demand peaks in summer and in December, when the city's Christmas markets draw large crowds, so booking ahead is recommended. The hotel offers a convenient and characterful base for a stay in central Zürich.
