Novotel Zürich City West

Novotel Zürich City West is a four-star hotel at Schiffbaustrasse 13 in the Zürich West district of Zürich, Switzerland, next to the Schiffbau theatre. Zürich West is a former industrial area that has become one of the city's trendiest quarters, with converted factories, galleries, restaurants, clubs and the Freitag shop tower built from shipping containers. The hotel's address is within walking distance of Hardbrücke station, which offers fast S-Bahn trains to Hauptbahnhof in a few minutes, and tram lines serve Escher-Wyss-Platz and the surrounding streets. The airport is reachable by train with one connection. The Schiffbau complex itself houses theatre stages and the Moods jazz club, which gives the hotel a cultural setting uncommon for a chain property. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, and the Novotel brand provides a predictable standard of modern, practical rooms suited to families and groups. The hotel lists wifi, breakfast, a bar, a restaurant and a fitness center. Breakfast is served as a buffet, and the restaurant and bar offer meals without leaving the building, while the district has many independent options within a short walk, including Markthalle Im Viadukt under the railway arches. The service character is business-oriented and family-friendly, with a clientele of corporate visitors, conference delegates and leisure travellers who prefer a lively urban district to the Old Town. Rates generally run from CHF 170 to 300 per night, which is moderate for Zürich and attractive for the standard on offer. Prices rise during trade fairs and large events at nearby venues. Direct booking via the Accor website allows loyalty members to earn points. The Old Town is about fifteen minutes away by tram or train, so sightseeing is easy while nights in Zürich West offer bars and clubs close by.
