Local tip
A room reservation and a table reservation are handled separately, so both should be arranged when needed.

Marktgasse Hotel occupies a carefully restored building from the 15th century at Marktgasse 17, 8001 Zürich. Set among the cobbled lanes and historic landmarks of Zurich's Old Town, it combines the character of an established city property with the convenience of a contemporary boutique hotel. The setting suits travellers who want a calm base while remaining close to the movement and atmosphere of the city.

The hotel has 39 rooms, each with its own layout and character. Design furniture and considered interiors feature throughout, with accommodation ranging from compact Tiny Rooms to more generous Historic Double Rooms. This variety gives the property a distinctly individual feel rather than a uniform room design. The restored architecture remains an important part of the experience, while modern comforts and attentive service shape the stay.

Marktgasse Hotel also includes a Drink & Dine offering, providing a place to include food and drinks within a stay in the Old Town. The culinary side forms part of the hotel's broader hospitality concept, alongside spaces intended for meetings and focused work. These functions make the property relevant not only to overnight guests but also to business travellers and organisers looking for a central setting for productive sessions.

The atmosphere balances historic surroundings with a polished, contemporary approach. Guests can move from the narrow lanes of the old city into an interior shaped by design, varied room proportions and the building's architectural past. The hotel works well for independent travellers, couples and business visitors seeking a characterful base, as well as for stays that combine city sightseeing with time spent on site. Its location places Zürich's historic centre, cultural sights and urban activity within the immediate neighbourhood, while the hotel's quieter rooms offer a retreat from the streets.
