Hotel St. Gotthard

Hotel St. Gotthard is a four-star superior hotel of about 138 rooms at Bahnhofstrasse 87, close to Zürich Hauptbahnhof in Switzerland. The Bahnhofstrasse is the city's best-known shopping street, running from the station to the lake, and the hotel's address places guests in the busiest and most convenient part of central Zürich. Trains, trams and the airport rail link are a few minutes' walk away, and the Old Town, the Limmat river and the Swiss National Museum are all within easy reach on foot. Lake Zürich lies about twenty minutes along the Bahnhofstrasse, passing Paradeplatz and the major banks on the way. Its size, with 138 rooms, makes it one of the larger independent central hotels, and it caters to business travellers, tour groups and leisure visitors alike. Room types include Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, with listed nightly rates of roughly CHF 250 to CHF 450. Amenities include wifi, available breakfast, a bar and a restaurant, which supports meals without leaving the building. The Bahnhofstrasse location means shopping, cafés, watch and chocolate boutiques and department stores are outside the door, and the pedestrian-friendly Niederdorf and Langstrasse districts are a short tram ride or walk away. Because the street is an active commercial thoroughfare, the area is lively by day and quiets noticeably in the evening, when many shops close. Visitors using Zürich as a hub for day trips to Lucerne, Bern or the Alps appreciate the proximity to the station, which allows early departures and late returns. Reservations are in highest demand around trade fairs, Christmas markets and summer, when central rooms book out weeks in advance.
