Marktgasse Hotel, one of Zurich's oldest inns first mentioned in 1291, is located in Niederdorf, part of the city's historic Old Town. The compact city is just seven miles from the airport, with tram no. 4 or 15 stopping at Rathaus, a minute's walk from the hotel. Nearby attractions include the designer shops on Bahnhofstrasse and St. Peter's Church with its iconic clock face.

Historic-Meets-Modern Rooms

The 39-roomed boutique hotel successfully blends modern minimalism with ancient heritage, featuring original tiled stoves and stucco ceilings in many rooms. All units include premium bedding, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. Room categories range from Tiny Rooms (161.5 ft²) to spacious Historic Double Rooms (473.6 ft²).

Award-Winning Dining

IGNIV Zürich by Andreas Caminada holds 1 Michelin star and 16 Gault-Millau points, serving sharing-style gourmet cuisine. The IGNIV Bar, the only bar among Caminada's restaurants, offers beef tartare with potato foam and Asian buns. Delish Café provides breakfasts with homemade granola and famed cinnamon rolls.

Wellness & Art Spaces

The 4-star property grants free access to wellness centers like Fitnesspark Stockerhof, 12 minutes away. A library with board games and Stefan Burger's 'The Journey' photograph enhances communal spaces. Baltho bar serves Baltho Spritz cocktails in a brasserie setting with bang-bang chicken starters.

Event & Business Facilities

The salon and library accommodate events for 6-8 guests with presentation screens. Business amenities include 24-hour reception, free WiFi, and safes in all rooms. Public transport links via tram and bus facilitate city exploration.

“Staying in a building dating back to 1291 offers a unique charm, particularly in Old Town; rooms are individually shaped, some boasting luxurious bathrooms alongside the expected modern amenities. The on-site restaurant, IGNIV Zurich, holds both a Michelin star and 16 Gault-Millau points, making it a worthy draw, and the staff's local recommendations proved spot-on. It's a distinctive choice for those seeking both history and modern comforts.”
