Widder Hotel is more than just a hotel. It is the gem of the Swiss luxury hotel industry, just waiting for you to discover it. Seven hundred years of history are steeped within its walls. Today’s hotel is comprised of nine formerly distinct medieval houses. All the buildings have been carefully restored to ensure they retain their original character. Inside the Widder hotel you will find a striking contrast between historic building features and some of the most prominent designs of the 20th century.

    ACCOMMODATION

    35 rooms and 14 suites. In the Widder Hotel, there’s a new world to discover behind every door. Each suite has a different layout and all rooms are individually decorated. One suite may feature venerable oak beams, another an antique tiled stove, grisaille murals, delicate frescos or elegant stucco. But all the luxury accommodation shared among all these are high quality materials and a host of historical references.

    On the medieval framework there is layered contemporary design, cutting-edge technology and unparalleled comfort: each bed is adjustable and pleasant light is provided by directional LED reading lamps. Movement-sensitive night-lights guide guests from bed to bathroom. Each room is also equipped with a Nespresso machine, minibar, multimedia TV, wifi and telephone.

    EAT & DRINK

    Widder restaurant

    The Widder Restaurant, awarded with 18 GaultMillau points and 2 Michelin stars, is the heart of the Widder Hotel in Zurich and skilfully combines the history of the city with the modern flair, which is presented through design and culinary delights.

    Widder bar

    The Widder Bar is an institution of the Zurich bar scene. Open daily from 12:00 until late in the evening, the Widder Bar offers space and time for a quick lunch, the well-deserved after work drink in the afternoon and then becomes a nightlife hotspot. It is clear that the Widder Bar is Zurich's cult bar and thus the avant-garde meeting place.

    Boucherie August

    Boucherie, brasserie, bistro - AuGust combines all that in one restaurant. The menu features excellent meat and sausage specialties. The ambience is rustic, yet chic, and chef Tino Staub makes classics of regional cuisine and even almost forgotten meat dishes restaurant-quality again. In winter, the hustle and bustle on Rennweg can be comfortably observed through the large window fronts - in the warm summer months, the terrace beckons.

    Widder garage

    The off-location of the Widder Hotel: bar, club and afterwork hotspot in Kreis 1! In the former parking garage of the hotel you dance and drink on Thursdays , Fridays and Saturdays until late at night. From 17:30 the Widder Garage in Augustinerhof 1 (directly behind Münzplatz / Bahnhofstrasse) opens its doors and holds sunny outdoor seating in the courtyard for the beautiful summer evenings. Every evening with live music from popular DJ's of the city, cocktails as you know them from the Widder Bar and the afterwork secret tip: Pinsas. Pizza bases with fresh toppings that satisfy every hunger.

    Widder garden

    Just a few minutes' walk from the hectic Bahnhofstrasse and located directly on Rennweg is the Widder Garden. An idyll in the middle of Zurich's old town that invites you to linger. Instead of checking the clock to see if lunch will be served within the lunch break, you can sit back and enjoy a two-course meal in a cozy atmosphere. A stone's throw away from Zurich's financial center Paradeplatz, and discreetly located in the courtyard of the Altstadt-Hotel Widder, there is hardly a nicer place to casually communicate with business partners or colleagues.

    Santaco

    Santaco returns to Augustinergasse! The juicy tacos bring the vibrant flair of Mexico City to Zurich. Santiago, Sabina, and their team look forward to welcoming you to Schtund. Santaco is renowned for authentic tacos reminiscent of Mexico’s street food stands. The menu features various options like "Al Pastor" and "Suadero."
