Sorell Hotel St. Peter

Sorell Hotel St. Peter is an upscale hotel at In Gassen 10 in the Altstadt of Zürich, Switzerland, in the lanes around the St. Peter church and the Lindenhof hill. The address places guests in the pedestrian heart of the old city, a few minutes' walk from Bahnhofstrasse, Paradeplatz, the Limmat river and the Fraumünster. Zürich Hauptbahnhof is about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot, and tram stops at Paradeplatz and Rennweg link to other districts. The hotel belongs to the Sorell group of Swiss city hotels and offers a modest, traditional-yet-modern atmosphere in a historic urban setting rather than a grand lobby or resort feel. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Suites, usually simple and comfortable with the practical fittings expected of a business-class city hotel; because the building sits among narrow lanes, room sizes and views vary. The amenities list includes wifi, breakfast and a bar, so the hotel is aimed at guests who plan to eat dinner in the Old Town's many restaurants. Breakfast is usually served as a buffet and is a main selling point for travellers who prefer an early start. Dining options within a few minutes' walk range from traditional Swiss restaurants to international cuisine, and the bar offers a quiet end to the day. There is no spa or pool, which suits visitors who are mainly in town for sightseeing, meetings or shopping. Service is friendly and straightforward, geared to couples, solo travellers and business guests who want a central address at a more reasonable price than the city's luxury hotels. Typical rates run from about CHF 250 to CHF 450 per night depending on season and room type. Because the surrounding streets are pedestrian-oriented, arrivals by car are limited, and guests should arrange luggage drop-off in advance. The hotel suits visitors wanting to walk everywhere in the old city.
