Badenerstrasse 420, Zurich, 8040, Switzerland, Zurich
Why this hotel? Solid city-center access, a proper spa, and a breakfast worth staying in for.
Crowne Plaza Zurich sits on Badenerstrasse in the city's western quarter, a 15-minute direct tram ride from the center and well-placed for the main train station, airport connections, and the business district. It's a hotel that earns its convenience rather than just claiming it.
The property's 181 Komfort Queen rooms are configured for single or double occupancy, each equipped with a Nespresso machine, water kettle, safe, fridge, bathrobe and slippers, iron and ironing board, and a notably practical set of international multi-plugs covering German, UK, Swiss, and US sockets alongside USB and USB-C ports. Both cable internet and Wi-Fi are included as standard. These aren't amenities reserved for higher room categories; every guest gets the same baseline.
Exclusive access to the Holmes Place Health Club is included with every stay, giving guests 2,000 sqm of fitness and wellness space with an indoor pool, sauna, and steam bath. Breakfast is a genuine draw, with the hotel positioning it as one of the strongest offerings in the region with value to match.
Around-the-clock coverage comes from 24-hour reception and 24-hour room service, and for drivers the private garage offers 550 spaces, a real practical advantage in a city where central parking is both scarce and expensive.
