Leonardo Boutique Hotel Rigihof

Leonardo Boutique Hotel Rigihof is a four-star boutique hotel of about 67 rooms at Universitätstrasse 101, in the Universitätsquartier of Zürich, Switzerland. The hill-side district is home to ETH Zürich and the University of Zürich, and the Polybahn funicular, which climbs from the Central square to the ETH main building, is close by. That makes the hotel a practical base for academic visitors, conference delegates and families visiting students, as well as tourists who prefer a quieter residential setting a short tram ride from the centre. The Old Town and the Limmat river lie downhill, and the main station is reachable by tram in a few minutes. From the terrace of the ETH building, a short walk away, visitors get a broad view over the roofs of the city towards the lake and the Alps on clear days. The hotel's room mix includes Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, with nightly rates generally between CHF 220 and CHF 400, placing it in the upscale range without reaching luxury-hotel prices. Listed amenities include wifi, available breakfast and a bar, supporting short business stays and relaxed evenings. The surrounding streets contain student cafés, bakeries and casual restaurants, which are generally more affordable than those on the Bahnhofstrasse. Service is that of a mid-sized city hotel, with a business-friendly and quietly efficient character rather than the formality of a grand hotel. The quarter is hilly, so visitors arriving with heavy luggage may prefer a taxi or tram for the final stretch. Demand rises around graduation periods, academic conferences and trade fairs elsewhere in the city, and early booking secures the best rates. The location is particularly convenient for visiting the Kunsthaus and the university museums on foot.
