Hotel Alden Splügenschloss

Hotel Alden Splügenschloss is a luxury hotel at Splügenstrasse 2 in the Enge district of Zürich, Switzerland, housed in a historic villa-style building close to Zürich Enge railway station and the Mythenquai lakefront. Enge lies south-west of the centre, and the lake, the Rieterpark museum area and the Bahnhofstrasse shopping district are all reachable within about fifteen to twenty minutes on foot or a short tram ride. S-Bahn trains from Enge station reach Hauptbahnhof in a few minutes. The building is a distinctive 19th-century-style townhouse, and the hotel is an intimate, suite-only property rather than a large hotel, with a residential and private atmosphere. Accommodation is offered as Suites, Junior Suites and Deluxe Suites, with nightly rates typically about CHF 380 to 750. Listed amenities include wifi, a concierge and suites; breakfast is charged separately, at about CHF 49 per person according to the listing. There is no large restaurant, spa or pool advertised, so the focus is on spacious rooms, privacy and personal service, and guests dine in the Enge neighbourhood, which has a range of restaurants, cafes and bakeries, or travel into the centre. The service character is personal and discreet, suited to couples, business guests on longer stays and visitors who prefer a small hotel to a grand lobby. The Enge district is quieter than the old town and has a business character on weekdays because of nearby financial and insurance offices, with calm evenings and weekends. For travellers who value space and a more private feel, a suite at the Splügenschloss offers a different experience from the large lakeside hotels, with a smaller scale and a more residential setting.
