The Franziskaner Hotel is full of charm and atmosphere. Its central old town location with all sights and business center within walking distance make it the perfect place to discover Zurich at first hand. Feel close to heaven in one of two rooms featuring a private sun terrace and panoramic view of Zurich's historical old town. Or enjoy a unique and harmonious ambience in any of the hotel's other 23 rooms, each designed around themes that specially appeal to the senses, such as music, spices, flowers and the four elements. This patrician house dating back to 1357 is situated where you'll find the city at its liveliest: in Zurich's famous Niederdorf quarter, surrounded by the most popular museums, theatres, cinemas, restaurants, bars and boutiques. Just below you the river Limmat flows serenely past, and the beautiful promenade along the Lake of Zurich is just a short stroll away.
