Introduction
Zurich is a modern and lively city. It is home to FIFA, many financial institutions, the Lindt chocolate factory, a lake in the middle of the city and the most beautiful mountains around. When walking through the old town of Zurich called Niederdorf and strolling along the river Limmat, you will find benches and cafes everywhere. Don't miss out to go to Paradeplatz which hosts two of the biggest banks in Switzerland, the Credit Suisse and the UBS and the famous chocolate shop Sprüngli with its famous Luxemburgerli (macaroons) - the perfect present for everybody who stayed at home. For fashion victims the Bahnhofstrasse with its big brands like Gucci or Prada is the perfect location for your shopping tour. Zurich is one of the world's pre-eminent global cities and was named several times the city with the best quality of life in the world.

Hotel Rothaus
Staying at "Hotel Rothaus" means you are at the heart of Zurich and literally just minutes away from wherever you need to go in the City; The hotel dates back more than 100 years and is located in one of Zurich's nightlife areas Langstrasse; During the last few years this traditional working class neighbourhood with its rather infamous reputation (mainly due to the red-light district) has developed into Zurich's cultural centre; There are Thai restaurants, galleries, dentists, take-always, gyms, bookstores, bars, design-furniture shops and nightclubs

Check out near Langstrasse and the red light district for bars and nightclubs like "St.Pauli", "Longstreet", "Das Haus", "Zukunft" and "Plazda Bar"
Kafi Schnaps
The "Schnaps"-themed (liquor-themed) hotel has just five rooms where each is differently designed; This means that for example the plum room has little purple cushions bulging randomly out of the wall, while the "kirsch" (black cherry) one has a carpet designed to look like wood chippings and has pink-rimmed trees painted all over it; A word of warning – "Kafi Schnaps" is very much budget accommodation, one step above a hostel; That means a shared bathroom, etc....but who cares when you’re in the only room in the world designed with the Williams Pear as inspiration? The five rooms are suitable for business travellers – but also for tourists whose interests are more on the cultural side – looking for a comfortable, reasonably priced private hotel in the vibrant heart of Zurich; Booking through Zurich Tourism
