Rooms
The Storchen has 66 rooms and suites, ranging from standard single and double rooms to spacious two-bedroom suites. Some rooms have a city view, but most look out over the river and toward the lake. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, en suite bathrooms and espresso machines come as standard in all rooms, and daily fresh fruit and bottled water is offered.
The decor is stylish and neutral-toned throughout with muted shades and patterns. Some offer a more classic style, while other rooms and the suites have more modern designs.
A smartphone is provided for use during your stay, and comes pre-loaded with local information and a free internet connection.
Location
The Storchen is the only hotel in Zürich directly located on the Limmat River. It’s in a pedestrian area, so there’s no noise from traffic, and it has its own private boat jetty. From the hotel, you’ll enjoy views across the water to Grossmünster, an imposing Romanesque-style Protestant church.
