Locke am Platz

Locke am Platz is an aparthotel of about 74 studios and apartments at Tessinerplatz 9, beside Bahnhof Enge, in the Enge district of Zürich, Switzerland. Enge lies on the western shore of Lake Zürich, south of the financial centre, and combines office buildings, residential streets, parks and quick access to the water. Bahnhof Enge offers S-Bahn trains to the main station in a few minutes, and trams on Tessinerplatz connect to Paradeplatz and the Bahnhofstrasse. The lake promenade, the Arboretum and the Rieterpark are within walking distance, so visitors can combine city sightseeing with time outdoors. The property targets longer stays as well as short visits, and every unit offers a kitchenette, which lets guests prepare some of their own meals, a significant saving in a city with high restaurant prices. Room types are Studios and Apartments, with listed nightly rates of roughly CHF 190 to CHF 340. Amenities include wifi, available breakfast and a bar, and the aparthotel format combines hotel-style service with the independence of a self-contained flat. The design is residential and contemporary, aimed at business travellers on extended assignments, families and leisure visitors who want more space than a standard room provides. Nearby supermarkets and cafés make everyday needs easy to meet. The Enge district is quieter in the evening than the Old Town, though the transport hub at Tessinerplatz is active during the day. The Swiss financial and consulting companies in the area also generate midweek business demand, so weekends can offer better rates. Booking ahead is advisable for the summer season, when lake-side Zürich is at its most popular, and for longer stays, where weekly rates may apply.
