4-Star Luxury at Crowne Plaza Zurich

Try the Swiss Burger from the Bar

Crowne Plaza Zurich is a 4-star luxury business hotel from the IHG group in the West District of Zurich. Here, you can start the day right with an American-style breakfast at the hotel, consisting of cold foods, Asian foods, and made-to-order eggs and omelettes. The restaurant serves great steaks, but the attentive service staff makes the experience even better. Order a Big Swiss burger from the bar for what people have described as the best burger they’ve ever had. There is a hotel gym, pool, and sauna for relaxing after a long day. The reception area has maps of various distanced running routes through the city if you’re a jogger.

Sleep Soundly in Superior Comfort

Rooms at the Crowne Plaza are brightly decorated with white and grey, and modern furnishings. A good night’s sleep is ensured with the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program, where the staff puts a great emphasis on uninterrupted sleep, with quiet zones from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. when hotel activities are kept to a minimum. The rooms have MP3 players, free Wi-Fi, and calming aromatherapy spray for added comfort. Request a room facing the inner courtyard, away from the main street and tram routes, for the least noise.

Convenient Location in West Zurich

This hotel is three kilometres away from the centre, but only 100 metres from tram lines two and three. If you plan on taking more than two rides in a day, get a 24-hour pass for better value. Steps from the hotel is the Leztigrun Stadium where you can catch an afternoon football game. Within a few minutes' walk you can enjoy Tex-Mex, Indian, a Brasserie, or Italian food. There are many cool restaurants and bars nearby that have been converted from the old factories of Zurich West.

Hop on tram line two to go directly to Lake Zurich where you can take a steamboat cruise or a swim, if the weather permits. Take line three to Zurich’s main station to explore the city centre, the Old Town, and the Great Church.

The Bottom Line

The Crowne Plaza is distinguished by its helpful, happy, and polite staff. Be sure to speak with the concierge for excellent advice about Zurich. There is spacious, secure parking on-site for those arriving by car, and an airport shuttle if you’re arriving by air.
