Widder Hotel

Nine centuries of Zürich, one extraordinary hotel

Widder Hotel occupies nine medieval guild houses in Zürich's old town — each from a different era, stitched together into one eccentric, art-stuffed whole. The result is a hotel unlike any other in Switzerland: corridors that pass through centuries, guest rooms that reward close attention, and event spaces spanning everything from intimate eight-seat oak-panelled stubes to the sweeping Widder Saal, where 250 guests fill the room with the kind of grandeur that only genuine history can produce.

For couples after a city wedding with real character, Widder offers what newer hotels cannot: the accumulated texture of centuries in every wall, layered against contemporary art and five-star service. The Widder Garden, for 140 guests outdoors, extends the celebration into the open when the Zürich summer allows. Meanwhile the cluster of on-site restaurants — including Widder Restaurant, Boucherie AuGust, and the Asian-influenced Soï 28 — means culinary ambition at a wedding here is never limited to a single menu.
