More information on Hotel Zum Storchen
This hotel claims to be the oldest in Europe, with origins going back to 1357. However, it was completely rebuilt in 1939, just at the outbreak of World War II. A traditional government-rated four-star hotel, it is an unusual choice for Zurich. Although Zurich's deluxe hotels are far better known, this is the only one directly on the Limmat River and seems more overrun with tourists than the more prestigious Baur au Lac, which also lures discerning clients seeking an old-world ambience. Supposedly named for the storks that nested on the roof, the Storchen is undeniably romantic. A favorite feature is the cafe terrace, which provides a sweeping panorama of Old Town. The midsize rooms are warmly and invitingly decorated and maintained in state-of-the-art condition. The most desirable units have French windows opening onto the water, across to the floodlit Rathaus. Be sure to reserve ahead of time, especially in summer. Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service/dry cleaning Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
