Local tip
Take the nearby Rigiblick cable car for a different perspective over the city and lake.

The Leonardo Boutique Hotel Rigihof Zurich occupies a historic Bauhaus building in the university quarter of Zurich. Its setting combines an urban address with a residential feel, while the nearby tram stop provides a direct connection to Zurich Airport and links the hotel with the city’s attractions. The Rigiblick cable car is also close by, offering access to elevated views across the city.

The hotel’s character comes from the relationship between classic Bauhaus lines and contemporary comfort. Its 68 individually designed rooms provide a calm base for short city breaks, university visits and business stays. Room categories range from Comfort and Superior Plus to Deluxe, with selected higher categories offering a south-facing balcony or terrace. Deluxe rooms provide more space, and some include a private balcony, a minibar and a living area with a sofa bed.

Room facilities include a coffee machine, safe, flat-screen television and shower. Plus rooms add air conditioning, as well as outdoor space in the form of a balcony or terrace. The overall design uses warm earth tones and natural materials, giving the accommodation a softer, more residential atmosphere than a purely functional city hotel.

The lobby is arranged as a flexible communal space for relaxing, reading or working. A wine kiosk and snack vending machine provide simple refreshments, while sports channels are available on the lobby television. Breakfast is offered, and the hotel also has a bar and restaurant. The facilities include free Wi-Fi, parking, pet-friendly accommodation and a non-smoking policy.

The hotel suits travellers who value a quieter neighbourhood location without giving up public transport access. It is practical for visitors exploring museums, universities and central Zurich, as well as for guests needing a straightforward airport connection. Couples, solo travellers, business guests and small families can choose from several room layouts, including options for three occupants. The combination of historic architecture, individual room design and an informal lobby gives the property a relaxed boutique-hotel identity.
