Sorell Hotel St. Peter

Sorell Hotel St. Peter is a four-star boutique hotel at In Gassen 10 in Zürich's Altstadt, Switzerland, on the west bank of the Limmat. The address is on a narrow lane near the Lindenhof hill and the church of St. Peter, whose clock face is among the largest in Europe, and it sits just steps from the Bahnhofstrasse shopping boulevard. Paradeplatz is a few minutes on foot, the Hauptbahnhof is a short walk or tram ride, and the river and the lanes of the Old Town are immediately outside, so most of the central sights can be visited without public transport. The setting is quiet for a central location, since In Gassen is a pedestrian-scale lane rather than a main street. As a boutique property, the hotel is small and personal, with a more intimate atmosphere than the chain hotels near the station. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, and the typical styling is modern with a Swiss-city-hotel character. The hotel lists wifi, a bar and breakfast, and guests looking for a full dinner usually walk to the many restaurants in the surrounding lanes, from traditional Swiss kitchens to modern bistros. The service style is friendly and practical, suitable for leisure travellers who want an authentic Old Town base, as well as business guests visiting the banks around Paradeplatz. Rates generally run from CHF 250 to 450 per night, which makes it more affordable than the five-star hotels a few streets away while keeping the same location advantages. Prices rise during trade fairs and the pre-Christmas period. Because the hotel has no large spa or restaurant, it suits visitors who plan to spend their days out in the city and use the room mainly for rest. The Lindenhof viewpoint, the Fraumünster with its Chagall windows and the Limmat quays are all within a few minutes' walk.
