Widder Hotel is one of the most characterful addresses in Zurich, a design hotel woven together from nine historic townhouses on the Rennweg in the heart of the Old Town, where medieval walls and ceilings meet contemporary design and modern art. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it is as beloved for its architecture as for its legendary jazz bar.

The dining is a draw in its own right. The Widder Restaurant holds two Michelin stars under chef Stefan Heilemann, spanning two historic houses; Soï 28 brings his gourmet take on Asian street food; the Restaurant-Boucherie AuGust celebrates the finest meat; and the whisky-rich Widder Bar and courtyard Widder Garden complete the offering.

For a design-led, gastronomic Zurich stay, the Widder is a standout.
