Sorell Hotel Zürichberg

Sorell Hotel Zürichberg is a four-star hotel at Orellistrasse 21 on the slopes of the Zürichberg in the Fluntern district of Zürich, Switzerland. The hotel stands close to Zoo Zürich, one of the city's most visited family attractions, and tram 6 links it with the city centre, Central and Bellevue, so the Old Town is roughly fifteen to twenty minutes away. The surrounding area is residential and green, with forest paths on the Zürichberg and the Dolder area a short distance uphill, which gives the hotel a calmer character than the central business hotels. It is a good choice for visitors whose plans include the zoo, the University of Zürich or ETH hospitals and institutes nearby, and for families who prefer a quiet base. The hotel lists wifi, breakfast, a bar and gardens, and the garden is a pleasant spot to relax in warmer months. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, and some rooms may look out toward the greenery of the hillside. Dining on site centres on the breakfast service and the bar, while the neighbourhood has restaurants and cafes along Zürichbergstrasse and Hottingen. The service style is friendly and relaxed, suited to leisure guests, families and business travellers who want to avoid the busy station area. Rates generally run from CHF 230 to 420 per night, which is below the price level of central four-star properties. Prices rise during trade fairs and in summer, and advance booking is advisable for school holidays when the zoo is busiest. Visitors without a car can rely on the tram, which is frequent and runs into the evening, but the hillside location means the Old Town nightlife is a tram ride away rather than a short walk. Guests who enjoy walking can reach the Zürichberg woods and viewpoints on foot from the hotel.
