Hotels in Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich, Switzerland, is the world capital for banking and finance while also being one of the most picturesque cities in the world. With well-off travellers visiting so often to conduct business, Swiss Hotels have a reputation for being some of the staying experiences.

Armed to the teeth with 4 and 5 star hotels, this city features some of the most expensive and grand places to stay in. As one might expect, these Zurich accommodations can cost a little small fortune, coming in at 550 Swiss Francs on average. Nearly all the luxury hotels in this city tend to remain around this price range, therefore it is important to consider the other options one has to stay in this city.

The best places to stay in for a traveller on a budget would have to be an AirBnb or Couchsurfers homestay option. Both of these services have a large number of members in the city. There are also budget hotels specifically for backpackers that can be found quite easy with a little web search that offer rooms at a far more affordable rate of around 50-80 Swiss Francs.

One should consider where to stay as travelling around Zurich, although easy, can be expensive if taking cabs and should therefore be factored into the overall costs of the stay (as there is no one place lodging can be recommended for everyone).
