We got a room as we were getting married. NOT our honeymoon, though!
I knew the hotel from the years when my grand parents would stay there. It was one of the "Grand Palace" places.
The Bahnhofstrasse is Zürich's "5th Avenue" (compared to Manhattan, NYC) and the country's most prestigious and expensive street.
So, the hotel's entrance is on the side while some an unrelated store uses the coveted main street commercial front. I understand that.
But from there on, it's down hill. The rooms (we got one on the 5th floor with main street view) seem "newer" in a 90's style/... like an upper Business Hotel.
The bathrooms very simple. One sink, a tub and toilet all in the same space. White tiles, nothing to incite romance or luxury
.
The rest of the hotel is just old but lacks the charm of antiquity.
The elevators are small. The older one just about the size of a residential elevator. The newer one is minuscule. Just for two people.
But no help with the luggage offered.
It's winter and we found the room in the afternoon at 17 Celcius just shy of 63 Fahrenheit.
The central radiators just barely lukewarm. The AC system does NOT invert to heat either.
As it got colder during the night we had use the hair dryer to blow some heat and ask for a plug-in heater the next morning. The request was met with little excitement, but we got our heater.
