Hotels near Zurich Christmas Market in the City Centre

Last Updated: 22 April 2025
1 Comment

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Switzerland, Zurich is a bustling city all year round. It’s a gourmet heaven popular with foodies, high-end shoppers and mountain-loving visitors. Christmas is a wonderfully festive time of the year to visit Zurich.

In this guide, I recommend a variety of hotels near the Zurich Christmas Market, ranging from stunning luxury hotels to cool boutique hotels and affordable budget hotels in the city centre.

Hotels near Zurich Christmas Market

If you’re unsure of where to stay in Zurich, anywhere between the train station and the Opera House near Lake Zurich would be within walking distance of most places you will likely want to visit.

If you prefer to stay in the historic old town, with its narrow, medieval streets and charming squares, I suggest staying in Niederdorf.

Top Pick

Ruby Mimi Hotel

Address: Beatenplatz 4, City Centre, Zurich, Switzerland

One of the newest hotels in Zurich, Ruby Mimi Hotel is a modern boutique hotel that is light, bright and exceptionally well-located. The hotel is near Zurich train station (there is an indoor Christmas market here) and is a short walk across the Limmat River to the Niederdorf district. Some rooms are on the smaller size so be sure to book the right size room for your needs. The lovely common areas and the brilliant location make up for any issues in this regard. The Ruby hotels originated in Vienna and it’s great to see them expanding into Switzerland. This hotel is excellent value for money.

Or if you’re looking for other places to visit, this guide to the Christmas markets in Switzerland should provide plenty of inspiration.

Boutique Hotel in Zurich

25hours Hotel Langstrasse
Address: Langstrasse 150, Aussersihl, Zurich
One of the original boutique hotels in Zurich, the 25hours Hotel never disappoints. It’s fun, quirky, clean, and trendy, with excellent facilities, including a gym, sauna, bike rental, and an on-site restaurant with Israeli, Turkish, and French influences. The 25hours Langstrasse is conveniently located near Zurich train station, with access to several markets. If this hotel is fully booked or if it’s a little out of your budget, they have a sister hotel in Zurich West that is very similar, although it’s not located in the city centre.

Budget Hotel in Zurich

Motel One Zürich
Address: Stockerstrasse 61, City Centre, Zurich
If you’re looking for a budget hotel in Zurich, Motel One is a great affordable option that offers basic but clean, nicely designed rooms, friendly staff and an excellent location near the Christmas markets. Due to their price and location, these rooms book up quickly, especially around special events like Christmas. Once you confirm your trip, I recommend booking your hotel as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Luxury Hotel in Zurich

Widder Hotel
Address: Rennweg 7, City Centre, Zurich
Zurich has a number of exceptional 5-star luxury hotels. The Widder Hotel is among the most highly rated and best in the heart of the old town. The design is a mix of old and new, with large, plush rooms furnished with designer pieces and luxurious bathrooms. Furniture and various objects by artists such as Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Adolf Loos can be admired in Hotel Widder, alongside paintings and sculptures by Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and other notable artists. Each of the rooms is unique, often with high ceilings in the historic building.

Apartment Stay

Le Bijou Bahnhofstrasse – Paradeplatz
Address: 18 Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich
If you would like to stay in an apartment in Zurich, these one and 2-bedroom apartment hotel rooms are centrally located on Bahnhofstrasse, the main shopping street in Zurich. This is an excellent option for longer stays or if you would like an apartment’s extra space and privacy. It’s also good value for money for a Zurich hotel. Please keep in mind that in some cities, renting apartments out to tourists can contribute to a lack of housing for residents.
