Other neighborhoods in Zurich & Basel
Altstadt & Bahnhofstrasse
The Bahnhofstrasse down to the lake and the Old Town on both banks of the Limmat, with four of the six hotels. The avenue runs from the main station to Bürkliplatz, with Paradeplatz and the banks along the way. On the left bank stand the Lindenhof, St. Peter and the Fraumünster with its Chagall windows; on the right, the Grossmünster and the lanes of the Niederdorf; between the avenue and the river, the Rennweg and the Augustinergasse.
Dolder & Zürichberg
The wooded hill above the city to the east, with one of the six hotels. The Dolderbahn climbs from Römerhof to the golf course and the ice rink at the top; Zoo Zürich and its Masoala hall lie a little further along the ridge, and the forest paths of the Zürichberg cross the hill. From the terrace the view takes in the city, the lake and, on clear days, the Alps.
Seefeld & the Lake
The right shore of the lake, from Bellevue and the Opernhaus along the Utoquai to the Zürichhorn. Along it lie the Seebad Utoquai on its jetty, the Chinese Garden and the Pavillon Le Corbusier by the water and the quays where the steamers leave for Rapperswil, with the streets of the Seefeld behind, toward Tiefenbrunnen. Described for the geography; none of the six hotels stands here.
