Sorell Hotel Rütli

Sorell Hotel Rütli is a mid-range hotel at Zähringerstrasse 43 in the Niederdorf area of Zürich's Altstadt, Switzerland. The address sits in the lively eastern part of the Old Town, a few minutes' walk from Central square, the Limmatquai riverside, the Grossmünster and the Kunsthaus, and about ten minutes from the Hauptbahnhof on foot. Trams at Central and Kunsthaus connect to the rest of the city, and the funicular Polybahn from Central climbs to the ETH and University quarter. Niederdorf is one of the city's busiest nightlife districts, with narrow pedestrian lanes, bars, small theatres and traditional restaurants, which makes the hotel a good choice for visitors who want to be in the middle of the action. As part of the Sorell group, the hotel offers a modern but modest interior within a historic urban fabric. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, simply furnished with comfortable beds and desks, and sizes vary because of the old building structure. The amenities list includes wifi, breakfast and a bar. Breakfast is usually a buffet and a convenient start before sightseeing, while the hotel bar offers a quiet alternative to the busy lanes outside. There is no spa or pool, so the emphasis is on location and value, and the surrounding Old Town offers countless dining choices from Swiss rösti and fondue to international fare. Service is friendly and informal, with staff able to advise on museums, tram routes and evening entertainment. The hotel suits first-time visitors, couples and groups who want to walk everywhere and do not mind some evening noise from the entertainment district. Typical rates run from about CHF 220 to CHF 380 per night, depending on season and demand. Guests who prefer a quieter night should ask for a room facing away from the main lane or on an upper floor, and car access to the pedestrian zone is restricted, so luggage drop-off should be planned.
