Hotel St. Gotthard stands at Bahnhofstrasse 87 in the centre of Zürich, Switzerland, on the famous shopping avenue that links the main railway station with Lake Zürich. The Hauptbahnhof lies only a few minutes' walk to the north at the top of Bahnhofstrasse, while Paradeplatz and the Old Town are a short stroll in the other direction. This position puts the hotel among the city's flagship stores, banks and cafés, and makes it convenient for rail connections and tram lines. The hotel is a long-established upscale city property with a traditional character, a restaurant and a bar on site, and rooms arranged as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites. Nightly rates generally run from about CHF 250 to CHF 450, which places it in the upper-middle part of the central Zürich market. Free wifi is available and breakfast can be added to the stay. The restaurant provides a setting for lunch, dinner and business meetings without leaving the building, and the bar is a quiet option for an evening drink. The service style is business-oriented, with attentive reception staff who can help with onward rail travel, theatre bookings and restaurant reservations. The hotel suits shoppers, corporate guests and short-stay city visitors who place a high value on being within walking distance of the station and the main sights. Light sleepers should note that Bahnhofstrasse is lively by day and that trams and delivery traffic run nearby, so a room facing the inner side of the building may be preferable. Zürich Airport is about 15 minutes away by train from the Hauptbahnhof.
