Lodging
We hope to provide you with more detailed information soon. In our experience, most of the hotels in the center seem to be of good quality. There are many hotels near HGKZ, due to its proximity to the Hauptbahnhof (about 5 minutes from HGKZ) The Zürich hotel websites at [|Venere.com] and [|Tripadvisor.com] are both useful. In fact, this is how we have booked in earlier visits to Zürich. Any hotel within walking distance of the Hauptbahnhof is within a suitable distance.

[|Swiss Rex Quality Hotel] From 130CHF (single) / night Weinbergstrasse 92 8006 Zürich Tel 044 360 25 25

[|Seefeld Hotel] Seefeldstrasse 63 8008 Zurich +41 (0) 44 387 41 41 Seefeld hotel apparently offers a ZHdK rate. It is attractive and stylish.

Two that are very close to HGKZ (1 minute walk):

[|Hotel Montana] Konradstrasse 39 8005 Zürich +41 (0) 43 366 6000

Hotel Montana is very close to the HGKZ and Hauptbahnhof, but I know little else.

[|Hotel X-Tra] Limmatstrasse 118 8005 Zürich +41 (0) 44 448 1595

Hotel X-Tra is an interesting Bauhaus style building from the 1930s. However, it has a club in the basement. When we stayed there on a weekend night, the bass could be heard in our room. Otherwise the hotel was okay.

[|Hotel Leoneck] Some of you stayed here previously.

A more cozy place to stay can be found in the hotels South-East of the station, across the river.
