Sorell Hotel Rigiblick

Sorell Hotel Rigiblick is an upscale hotel at Germaniastrasse 99 in the Oberstrass area on the Zürichberg slope of Zürich, Switzerland. The property stands on the hillside above the city and is known for its city views, which on clear days stretch across the rooftops to Lake Zürich and the Alps. The neighbourhood is residential and green, near the Rigiblick funicular that climbs from Nordstrasse, and tram and bus services link the area to the centre and the Hauptbahnhof in about fifteen minutes. The setting gives the hotel a calm, quiet character, away from the busy streets of the Old Town but with easy access to forest trails on the Zürichberg and the University and ETH quarter. As part of the Sorell group, it combines a traditional Swiss hospitality approach with modern comforts. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Suites, and the best rooms face the view. The amenities list includes wifi, a restaurant and city views, and the restaurant is a main attraction, popular with local diners as well as hotel guests for its terrace and outlook. Breakfast is typically served in the restaurant, and dinner options on site mean guests do not need to descend into the city every evening. There is no spa or pool, but the surrounding woodland offers walking and running routes. Service is warm and personal, suiting couples, small groups and leisure travellers who want a scenic base, as well as visitors to the university and local hospitals. Typical rates run from about CHF 280 to CHF 450 per night, depending on season and room category. Guests should plan evening journeys around tram and funicular timetables, since services thin out late at night, and the hillside location means steep walks if travelling on foot. The hotel suits visitors who prioritise views and tranquillity over proximity to the Old Town nightlife.
