Hotel Widder Zurich

Also known as Hotel Widder

The Widder is nine medieval townhouses on Augustinergasse, interconnected and converted into 49 rooms in 1995, each different because each original building is different. The architect kept the medieval structure visible: stone arches, exposed beams, and vaulted spaces run through the interior while the furnishings are modern.

Hotel Widder is nine interconnected medieval townhouses on Augustinergasse in Zurich’s Altstadt, converted in 1995 into 49 rooms that preserve the original vaulted spaces, stone arches, and structural variety of buildings spanning five centuries. The Widder Bar in the basement is one of the city’s established jazz venues, open to non-guests. Very expensive (EUR 400-800+ per night). Ten minutes’ walk from Zurich Hauptbahnhof; tram to Rennweg. The standard recommendation for a single characterful night in Zurich if budget allows. Check widderhotel.com.
