Newly reopened 5-star hotel with a fresh interior design, in the historic old town and right on the river Limmat.
The hospitality of the Storchen Zürich has been renowned for more than 665 years. Due to its unique position in the heart of the Limmat city, the guests at this traditional first class establishment enjoy Zürich at its best.
Along with your much-loved rooms, the Barchetta, the restaurant La Rôtisserie and first floor Cigar Bar the hotel became even more comfortable for you.
Uniquely located right at the Limmat, overlooking the wonderful reflection of the Grossmünster in the water at night, the Storchen is predestinated for fish dish lovers. It is not known exactly how the hotel got its name "Zum Storchen". Legend has it that the name was adopted after a pair of rare black storks nested on its roof. In 1357 the "Hus zum Storchen" was mentioned in the tax records for the city of Zürich for the first time and just over 100 years later, it was specifically described as an inn.
Whether you are traveling alone, with your partner or with the whole family, the Hotel Storchen awaits you with 64 newly designed rooms and suites with a unique view over the Limmat or the picturesque old town of Zurich. All the rooms have one thing in common: the modern ambience with warm colors and numerous stylish details as well as the technical equipment that play together to offer you a wonderful home away from home.
For early birds or night owls, a quick drink or a long, leisurely lunch: no matter what you're looking for, the Hotel offers the full gamut of gourmet experiences – all presented with a hearty portion of passion, creativity and flair.
