Located in Oerlikon, a five-minute train ride from Zurich\u2019s city center, Swiss\u00f4tel Zurich is a splendid retreat. Recently renovated, the hotel\u2019s 347 luxury rooms and suites are furnished in contemporary style – and feature superb views of Zurich and the Alps. All rooms are non-smoking, but even better, all feature Nespresso\/Lavazzza tea and coffee machines, which make espresso at the drop of a lever. (So delicious is the result that we inadvertently walked in on our chambermaid sipping an espresso, which we kept between us, until now.)<\/p>\n

But best of all is the pillow menu. One night we ordered a spelt pillow, filled with organic spelt, which is reputed to relieve neck tension – and in the morning, we felt as we\u2019d received a neck massage. The next night, we slept on a Swiss stone pine pillow, filled with pine shavings so resinous as to make us feel we were sleeping in an enchanted forest. As delicious as the pillows are is the manner in which they are hand-delivered by the staff – as if they were treasures from the three magi. Bliss.<\/p>\n

While the bathrooms are the size of a New York closet, a stay at Swiss\u00f4tel Zurich affords access to the Amrita Spa & Fitness Center atop Zurich\u2019s tallest hotel where the infinity pool on the 32nd floor offers breathtaking views of the Alps. The water is kept at 88 degrees Fahrenheit, while the whirlpool\u2019s temperature corresponds exactly to your core body temperature.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve completed your morning swim, enjoy the copious breakfast buffet downstairs at Restaurant Szenario with its summer terrace. The hotel\u2019s rooftop garden provides the seasonal herbs. There\u2019s also an in-house Starbucks for those who need an American fix – but the truth is, Swiss\u00f4tel Zurich celebrates all good things Swiss.<\/p>\n

Get into it – and live like a happy Swiss at Swiss\u00f4tel Zurich.<\/p>\n
