A good, solid hotel, the Sorell Hotel St. Peter is comfortable and friendly, if a bit clinical. If you're in town on business, it's the perfectly located for hopping between meetings.

Smack dab in the middle of Zurich's old town, Zunfthaus zur Waag is a classic, elegant restaurant with some of the best rösti in the whole city. The bright, airy decor perfectly complements the 17th-century architecture.

A grande dame of the Zurich hotel scene, Hotel Storchen is a beautiful historic hotel set along the Limmat River. The service here is really unparallelled, so take advantage of all the hotel has to offer.

Pop into TASONI to pick up the latest from contemporary designers like Berluti, COMME DES GARÇONS and LANVIN. They also have a fantastic selection of pieces from more emerging designers, so you can always find something cool here.
