Florhof Hotel

In a stately home dating from the 18th century, the Hotel Florhof makes its mark in the heart of the city of Zürich. It was once the aristocratic home of the Oeri-Lavater Family who were involved in the manufacturing of florette silk and gauze and it has maintained an elegance befitting of its historic legacy.

The 32 rooms are the perfect blend of old and new with traditional parquet flooring and stylish, contemporary decor. Windows look out over the hotel gardens or Zürich’s charming old town.

Enjoy seasonal cuisine alongside specially selected wines in the restaurant and lounge, or in the pretty gardens during the warmer summer months. With the tinkling of the Neptune Fountain, the garden is also the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening.
