Claridge Hotel Zurich is located right in the centre of Zurich, perfectly located for the business and financial districts, as well as the city's main tourist attractions. Expect plenty of old-school charms and absolutely lovely staff, who carry off traditional Swiss hospitality with aplomb.

The facilities

The star attraction is definitely the restaurant, Orson's, which comes Michelin-recommended. It's a surprisingly contemporary dining space, compared to the rest of the hotel, and dishes up impeccable Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. For something a bit more low-key, head to Ace Bistro, which specialises in Swiss-style home cooking (and is also the place to head for the daily hot breakfast).

For business travellers, there are a choice of meeting spaces that come equipped with overhead projectors, flip-charts and complimentary internet. The hotel is also happy to cater for coffee breaks and light snacks.

The rooms

Each of Claridge Hotel Zurich's guestrooms carries the same traditional style as the rest of the hotel. They all come with computer stations, loaded with Microsoft Office business packages, as standard. Added to this there's free internet, well-stocked minibars and separate sitting areas.
