Local tip
The central address makes Bahnhofstrasse shopping and the Old Town practical starting points for exploring the city on foot.

Hotel Townhouse is a three-star superior boutique hotel on Schützengasse, just off Bahnhofstrasse and close to Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Its central setting suits both short city breaks and business stays, with the main railway station, the shopping street and the Old Town within easy reach. Zürich Airport is also accessible by train or taxi.

The hotel takes its design cue from an English townhouse rather than a conventional standardised hotel interior. Different colours, fabrics, wallpapers and materials are combined with a mixture of older and newer furnishings, giving the rooms and shared spaces an individual residential character. The atmosphere is intended to feel relaxed and welcoming, with personal service and the comfort of a city base that feels more like a private home than a large hotel.

Accommodation comprises 23 rooms and three junior suites. Every room includes a desk, making the hotel practical for guests who need to work during a stay. The room offering is suited to both weekday business trips and weekend visits, while the junior suites provide a larger accommodation option within the same boutique setting.

Palette, the hotel’s restaurant and bar, adds a social space at street level. Its offering centres on drinks, wine, cocktails, coffee and snacks rather than a narrowly defined dining concept. It can suit a coffee break, a light bite or an evening drink without requiring a separate destination. The design-led surroundings continue into this area, keeping the restaurant and bar connected to the hotel’s townhouse-inspired identity.

The address places shopping, transport and city sightseeing close together. Bahnhofstrasse provides a direct route through the centre, while the nearby Old Town offers winding lanes, small shops and restaurants. The location also works for travellers attending events in the city, as well as guests looking for a convenient base between rail journeys and urban exploring. Hotel Townhouse is best suited to visitors who value a small-scale boutique atmosphere, a distinctive interior and a highly central base, with Palette providing an on-site option for refreshments and informal drinks.
