Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the more stylish, chic and comfortable hotels I've stayed at. The bed is plush, gym is cool and breakfast is exquisite. I shall be back. The in-house bar is lively. I didn't dine in any of their restaurants and there are plenty of food options around the block. Definitely give Lumiere a try.

We stayed here again after being here exactly a year ago. The food situation has improved if you want fish and vegetarian options outside of breakfast; at least with the room service menu. This time we had the family suite. Except for the shower being hard to operate, the room was fine. We like the gym, breakfast and service is very personal. Since this hotel is on a street that only allows taxis, Ubers have to drop off and pick up 2 minutes walk away on the Bahnhofstrasse. We really enjoy the Rennweg street; it has everything on it you could possibly want and it's within 5 minutes of the main department stores and within 10 minutes walk of the main train station. We also stayed at the Park Hyatt; they are two very different experiences. The Widder is more authentic Zurich historical feel and a boutique hotel with a better gym. The Park Hyatt has a steam room open late at night and better food situation overall on property. It's also next door to a large gym with swimming pool and reachable by Uber but a bit further walk from the shopping. Both hotels can be warm at night since there is no air conditioning during winter. It's a close call between the two properties. We like both.

The hotel is made up of 9 buildings and each room has its unique character. We stayed in a family suite which was spacious and charming. The decor preserved the original exposed beams and windows but incorporated modern amenities like a power shower with three massage nozzles. Staff were amazingly welcoming and helpful and the location unbeatable. Breakfast was delicious with a buffet plus a large crate cooked items. I would whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone (who has the budget 😬).

My husband and I had a fabulous stay at the Widder Hotel. Not only is it a beautiful property conveniently located in the heart of Zurich, but what made it extra special was the attentiveness and support that the concierge staff provided to us. Our luggage was delayed at our connection in Frankfurt. It contained all of our ski clothing that we were planning to wear on our next stop in Zermatt. The Widder concierge team did everything in their power to help us locate the luggage and track its delivery to us. If anyone has lost luggage with Lufthansa before you will know that it is nearly impossible to get a person on the phone to assist you. The Widder staff stepped in seamlessly even though they did not create the issue. We are grateful to them and so enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Widder team!

Cartagena, Colombia22 contributions22 helpful votes
I recently stayed at the Widder Hotel and my experience was disappointing overall. Despite being granted an “upgrade” through American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts, the room was still small and not what I expected for the price, which was over $500 per night. The real disappointment came from the service at their restaurant, August, where a waiter displayed an arrogant and highly selective attitude towards guests. I did not feel welcomed, and for such a high-end establishment, I expected a more accommodating atmosphere. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Dear Centurytraveller2015 Thank you for sharing your feedback with us one more time. We are very sorry to hear that this time we were not able to fullfil your expectations. Firstly we would like to highlight that Bookings made through American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts benefit from an "Upgrade upon availability". Your reservation was made for a Design Single Room with single bed and we were able to grant an upgrade upon check in into the next higher category Design Queen Room. As you know, all of our rooms are individually designed and we are apologizing that this time the provided room was not to your liking. It is absolutely disappointing to hear that you did not feel welcome at our Restaurant. We are a very international hotel with guests from all over the world. It seems that a very unfortunate misunderstanding occurred. Again, as also mentioned to you in our private e-mail communication in October as well as on the other platforms, we truly apologize for the inconveniences caused during your stay. It would be our pleasure to welcome you soon again, in order to prove ourselves to you again. Best regards from Zurich, Anina Thom, Front Office Manager
