Sorell Hotel Rex

Sorell Hotel Rex is a mid-range hotel at Weinbergstrasse 92 in the Unterstrass district of Zürich, Switzerland, on the slope north of the Hauptbahnhof. The neighbourhood is residential and lively, with local cafés, small shops and the Weinbergstrasse tram line, and it lies between the city centre and the university quarter. Trams along Weinbergstrasse and nearby stops connect the area to the Hauptbahnhof and Central in roughly ten minutes, and the Old Town, Niederdorf and the Limmat can be reached on foot in around twenty minutes by walking downhill. The location offers a calmer, more local experience than the station area while retaining quick access to the city's main sights. As part of the Sorell group, the hotel offers a practical modern interior and a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, simply furnished with comfortable beds, desks and the technology expected of a business-class city hotel. The amenities list includes wifi, breakfast and a bar. Breakfast is typically a buffet and a main reason business guests choose the hotel, while the bar provides a casual drink after a day of meetings. There is no spa or pool, which keeps rates lower than at the city's luxury hotels, and guests who want a workout can use nearby parks and the Zürichberg trails. Dining options in Unterstrass and Oberstrass include neighbourhood restaurants, bakeries and international food, with more choice down in the city centre. Service is friendly and efficient, and the hotel suits business travellers, university visitors, families and leisure guests who want a local base at a moderate price. Typical rates run from about CHF 200 to CHF 350 per night depending on season and demand. The hillside location means a steep walk back from the centre, so many guests prefer trams in the evening. Rooms facing the street may hear tram noise, and quiet-seeking guests can ask for an interior room.
