Zürich Oerlikon? Acasa Suites for the Finnish sauna. The Flag signals cheap rates at Zürich Altstetten while Hotel Opera is a no-brainer when arriving at Zürich Stadelhofen for a night at the Opernhaus.
We’d recommend a five-star kickabout at Alden Suite Hotel Splügenschloss if you’re riding to Zürich Enge for a trip to the FIFA Museum. And Zürich Hardbrucke? It’s Renaissance Zürich Tower Hotel or bust in our minds.
