Ask about the monthly-stay option when planning a study, work or extended city visit.

Josephine’s Guesthouse is accommodation reserved exclusively for women, offering a residential alternative to a conventional hotel stay. It suits women looking for a base in Zurich for a few days, several weeks or a longer period, whether for study, work or a city visit.

The rooms are designed with carefully selected materials, considered furniture and practical layouts. Their character is domestic rather than purely functional, with a warm atmosphere intended to make longer stays comfortable. Monthly reservations are available for periods of up to six months.

At the top of the building, the air-conditioned Attika provides the guesthouse’s shared social space. It includes a kitchen, dining area and living room, along with a rooftop terrace. This arrangement gives guests the option of preparing food, eating together or spending time in a communal setting rather than using the room only for sleeping.

The atmosphere is personal, open and sociable, with a colourful, lively character. Josephine’s works well for women who value a more independent stay and the possibility of meeting other guests. The combination of private rooms and shared facilities also makes it suitable for stays that need more flexibility than a standard short hotel booking.

The guesthouse forms part of a broader women-focused hospitality setting. A separate women-only wellness area at the Alma Hotel includes saunas, a steam bath and a rooftop terrace with views towards the mountains and Lake Zurich. Access arrangements should be confirmed with the guesthouse when making a reservation.

Located at Lutherstrasse 20 in the 8004 district, Josephine’s is positioned for guests who want accommodation within the city rather than a resort-style retreat. The setting and room formats make it relevant to both short-term visitors and women seeking a temporary home during a study or work placement.
