What hotels are located near Zürich train station, you ask?

You’ll have to be more specific: there’s more than one train station in Zürich and certainly more than one hotel near each.

When you’re arriving at Zürich Flughafen, you can crash in the Alpine Garden - Capsule Hotel, the Hyatt Place, the Hyatt Regency, or the Radisson Blu without being more than a few feet from the airport’s rail lines.

Zürich Oerlikon? Acasa Suites for the Finnish sauna. The Flag signals cheap rates at Zürich Altstetten while Hotel Opera is a no-brainer when arriving at Zürich Stadelhofen for a night at the Opernhaus.

We’d recommend a five-star kickabout at Alden Suite Hotel Splügenschloss if you’re riding to Zürich Enge for a trip to the FIFA Museum. And Zürich Hardbrucke? It’s Renaissance Zürich Tower Hotel or bust in our minds.

But we have a feeling you meant to ask, “What hotels are located near Zürich’s main train station?" And to that, we say, the best hotels near Zürich HB await your arrival.
