Steady Progress as a Foundation for Success Since its inception in 1876 as Hotel National, Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich has evolved through numerous expansions, renovations, and rebrandings.
Over the past ten years, significant modernizations worth about 15 million Swiss francs have transformed the hotel. These updates include the consolidation of rooms, reducing the total from 115 to 95, the creation of a boutique gym, the refurbishment of modern meeting rooms, and the renewal of event spaces. A Taste of Five-Star Luxury with Exclusive Suites In 2020, Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich introduced the luxurious suites known as “The Dufour by Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich,” offering a preview of its five-star experience.
This successful venture played a pivotal role in the decision to elevate the entire hotel to five-star status. Embracing Heritage and Tradition The award of the fifth star is also a tribute to the hotel’s illustrious history. Originally opened nearly 150 years ago as a Grand Hôtel, the property has undergone various classifications, from a three-star to a four-star superior hotel.
The transition to a five-star rating honors the hotel’s rich tradition while positioning it for future excellence..
