Historic Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel Helmhaus is one of Zurich's oldest guesthouses, dating back to 1356. Set in a 14th-century building in Niederdorf, it offers 24 rooms with soundproof windows, Swiss mattresses, and individually adjustable A/C. Rooms include fleecy bathrobes, special pillows with sheep's wool and pine flakes, and iPads.
Swiss Breakfast Buffet
The hotel serves a rich Swiss breakfast with local products like Bircher muesli, fresh fruits, cheeses, and bread from nearby bakeries. Eggs are prepared to order, and options include gluten-free and vegan dishes. Half-board is available at Molino Select for an additional fee.
Art and Culture
The hotel features paintings by Swiss artist Gisèle Mengis and is close to the Helmhaus museum, showcasing contemporary Swiss artists. The Kunsthaus Zürich, one of Switzerland's most important art collections, is nearby.
Central Old Town Location
The hotel is in Zurich's Old Town, a 5-minute walk from Lake Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse, and Lindenhof hill. The Zürich main station is a 12-minute train ride from the airport, with trams and buses nearby. Parking is available for CHF 45 per day.
Family and Special Packages
Family rooms accommodate up to five people and include breakfast and a Zurich Zoo entry after three nights. The Ladies Package offers sparkling wine and skincare products. The Art Package includes a Kunsthaus Zürich visit and a book of Mengis's works.
“In my opinion, this boutique hotel, nestled in Zurich's Old Town, stands out for its seamless blend of historic charm and attentive, family-run service. The location is ideal, acting as a central access point to the city's key attractions. I think that the commitment to sustainability, from locally sourced breakfast ingredients to inclusive Travel Proud initiatives, elevates the experience beyond the typical city stay.”
