Best Zurich Hotels with Family Suites & Apartments (2026)
17 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Zurich . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Zurich is expensive, so family suites earn their price tag by collapsing two booking-two-rooms scenarios into one: living area where kids crash on a sofa bed, parents in the main bedroom, and everyone using one bathroom without awkward hotel-corridor handoffs. The five hotels below all offer either proper family rooms for four, junior suites with sofa beds, or true apartment-style units with kitchenettes. Prices in Zurich shock everyone on their first visit, but a family suite can work out cheaper than two connecting doubles at the same property, especially on weekends when business travel drops off.
Zurich has three family bases. The City Centre along Bahnhofstrasse puts you next to the lake and tram network, ideal for short stays with young kids who can't walk far. Zurichberg on the hill above the centre catches the morning sun and the zoo tram, quieter and better for longer stays. Zurich West across the viaduct is cheaper and artier, better for teens who like the industrial reinvention vibe. All three are 20 minutes from the airport by S-Bahn.

🛏️Why a Family Suite Beats Two Rooms in Zurich
Swiss family suites differ from Mediterranean resort family rooms in one key way: the kitchen. About half the properties on this list have real cooking facilities, from a Nespresso+induction combo to a full kitchenette with dishwasher. Given Zurich restaurant prices, the ability to cook breakfast and the occasional dinner transforms the total cost of a week there.
Beds in Swiss family rooms tend to be separate rather than the Italian-style pull-out sofas. Expect a king or queen bed for parents plus either two singles for kids, bunk beds, or a living area that converts. Check the room description carefully because the naming convention is inconsistent: 'family room' can mean anything from one big bedroom with a fourth roll-away to two connected rooms.
Parent's take
Honest truth from families who've stayed: the Swiss breakfast buffet is often included and is genuinely a meal, so skip the a-la-carte room service. Trams are free with a Zurich Card for under-16s traveling with an adult. Book the family suite 6-8 weeks ahead in July and during Street Parade week (second Saturday of August); Zurich fills up fast and suites sell first.
Our Top 17 Picks
Hotels in Zurich with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
Widder Hotel
Old Town, near Rennweg
Wonderful
850 reviews
A cluster of nine connected medieval houses in the Altstadt, now one of Zurich's most discreet luxury stays. Rooms combine original beams with modern soundproofing that works, and the staff handle baby requests as a matter of course rather than a novelty.
From
€1155/night
Why families love Widder Hotel
Parents travelling with infants rate the Widder for its quiet competence. Free cots arrive set up before check-in, the kid-friendly breakfast buffet has warm soft bread and fresh fruit, and babysitting is arranged through a vetted local agency. The service lift lets you avoid lobby traffic at nap time, which first-time parents appreciate more than any spa voucher.
EMA House Hotel Suites
Oberer Hirschengraben, Kreis 1
Wonderful
620 reviews
An all-suite hotel in a quiet residential street five minutes from the main station. Every suite has a small kitchenette with induction hob, microwave, and fridge, which makes it a sensible pick for parents who want to prep bottles or simple baby meals without tripping over each other.
From
€615/night
Why families love EMA House Hotel Suites
The kitchenette is what parents come back for. You can sterilise bottles, warm up baby food, and keep formula cold without running down to reception. Suites are spacious enough to set up a travel cot without moving furniture, and the side-street location means no tram noise from 10pm onwards. Families with one or two under-threes consistently rebook.
Sorell Boutique Hotel St Peter Zurich
St Peter, Old Town
Wonderful
710 reviews
A boutique hotel tucked behind St Peter's church tower, within a two-minute walk of the lake and the pedestrian Altstadt. Rooms are compact but genuinely baby-prepared, with stocks of the kit most parents forget at home.
From
€640/night
Why families love Sorell Boutique Hotel St Peter Zurich
Sorell St Peter has installed baby safety gates on request and stocks step stools for changing tables, which puts it a step ahead of most four-stars in Zurich. Kids' meals are freshly prepared rather than heated-up leftovers, and the family rooms have a divider curtain that lets parents use the bathroom without waking a sleeping infant. Small gestures, consistently delivered.
Wonderful
480 reviews
A Philippe Starck-styled lakeside grand hotel where dogs are guests not afterthoughts. Reception keeps designer dog beds in the back, the sun terrace allows leashed pets, and the lake promenade starts at the front door for the first walk of the day.
From
€1015/night
Why families love La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich
We took the kids for a long weekend with our Cocker Spaniel. The doorman knew his name by the second day. The two-bedroom suite gave the kids their own space, the parents got a lake view, and the dog got a corner with his own water bowl and biscuit. Breakfast on the terrace looking at the Alps with a sleepy dog under the table is the postcard memory we kept.
Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich
City Centre, Bahnhofstrasse
Wonderful
1,200 reviews
Opposite the main station with Bahnhofstrasse a step away, the Schweizerhof gives families travelling with a dog the shortest possible walk from train to room. Family rooms sleep four, the lobby has marble floors that suit muddy paws, and the staff will deliver dog dishes on request.
From
€765/night
Why families love Hotel Schweizerhof Zürich
Genuinely the easiest arrival we've had with kids and a dog. Got off the train at Hauptbahnhof, walked across the square, and we were checking in five minutes later. The family room had two queens and the dog stretched out in the wide hallway between them. The bar accepts dogs which meant one parent could have a drink while the other put the kids to bed.
Sorell Boutique-Hotel Seidenhof Zürich
City Centre
Excellent
2,105 reviews
A 4-star boutique in the old silk merchants' district between Bahnhofstrasse and the Sihl river. Junior suites and family rooms for 4 come with separate living areas. Three minutes walk to the main station and 8 minutes to the lake. Upscale for Zurich but the design rewards the price with quiet, well-insulated rooms.
From
$772/night
Why families love Sorell Boutique-Hotel Seidenhof Zürich
Parents rate the quiet factor; rooms face a courtyard rather than the tram-heavy Bahnhofstrasse, so naps and early bedtimes are possible even in summer. Junior suites are generous by Swiss standards with a sofa bed in a separate sitting area. Staff are known for remembering children by name after a day or two, which matters on longer stays.
Excellent
950 reviews
A boutique four-star at the lake's edge that strikes the right balance of comfortable and unfussy for families travelling with a dog. The terrace cafe accepts pets, family rooms come with sofa beds, and the Opera House and lakeside playgrounds are within five minutes on foot.
From
€710/night
Why families love AMERON Zürich Bellerive au Lac
Less grand than the Eden au Lac three doors down but easier to live in for a week. Our two boys went straight to the lake after breakfast and the dog came along. The parking garage made arriving by car painless. The duty manager kept the kids supplied with biscuits and the dog with a fresh bowl every morning.
Hotel Glockenhof Zürich
City Centre
Excellent
1,900 reviews
A long-running family-owned four-star a block off Bahnhofstrasse with a quiet inner garden that tired dogs love. Family rooms with bunks for kids, two restaurants on site, and a small terrace where you can have breakfast with the dog in summer.
From
€495/night
Why families love Hotel Glockenhof Zürich
The garden tipped the balance for us. Our Spaniel needed somewhere to flop after the morning walk and the inner courtyard worked perfectly. The kids had bunk beds, we had a quiet street-side window, and the breakfast spread was the best of any hotel we tried. The night porter walked the dog around the block once when we were stuck in the bathroom with a sick child.
Hotel Adler Zürich
Niederdorf, Old Town
Excellent
2,400 reviews
A 16th-century Old Town three-star on a cobbled square where dogs are routinely welcomed without fanfare or fees. Compact rooms, a fondue restaurant downstairs, and a one-minute walk to the river for late-evening walks before bed.
From
€265/night
Why families love Hotel Adler Zürich
We chose Adler because we wanted to spend money on cable cars not the bedroom. It worked. The kids slept in a triple, we shared a smaller double next door, and the dog padded between the two on the cobbled hallway. The fondue place downstairs let us bring the dog in for an early dinner. Half the price of the lakeside places and the location is arguably better for sightseeing.
The Home Hotel Zürich
Wiedikon
Excellent
820 reviews
The Home Hotel sits in quiet Wiedikon, ten minutes to central Zurich on the tram and a straight bike ride to the Uetliberg trails. Every family suite has a kitchenette, a washing machine for muddy kit, and spa and wellness centre for post-ride recovery. The design is calm and uncluttered, which with kids in the room matters more than it should.
From
€320/night
Why families love The Home Hotel Zürich
After a day cycling up to the Uetliberg lookout we used the spa and the washing machine, both of which felt genuinely parent-designed. The kitchenette meant breakfast on our own schedule and the terrace seating turned into kids' dinner table. Wiedikon feels local and quiet. Five minutes by bike to the Sihl river path for easy flat rides with younger riders.
Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg
Zürichberg
Excellent
2,524 reviews
A 4-star boutique property on the Zurichberg hill with family rooms, junior suites, and a separate apartment-style wing. The setting is leafy and 10 minutes from the Zoo by tram. Rooms overlook either forest or the city skyline depending on wing. Premium for Zurich but the space is real.
From
$568/night
Why families love Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg
The Zurichberg location is what separates this from city centre options; the kids can run around in the forest outside the front door and the zoo is a five-minute tram ride. Junior suites fit a family of four with real space rather than two crammed doubles. Breakfast is served until 10:30, unusually generous for Zurich.
25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse
Aussersihl
Excellent
1,250 reviews
25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse lives in an old telephone exchange building in Aussersihl, ten minutes from the lake by bike. The hotel keeps a visible rental fleet at reception including bike tours that roll out mornings at ten. Family rooms have bunk nooks and the 2 restaurants stay open for early dinners on the terrace.
From
€335/night
Why families love 25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse
We rolled out at nine with two loaner bikes and a route map the concierge drew for us on the spot. The tram stops right outside if kids run out of legs on the way back. Staff were relaxed about bringing bikes into the lobby and the breakfast buffet has pancakes the kids remembered a week later. Rooms small but exactly what you need for a cycling weekend.
Excellent
2,145 reviews
A 4-star apartment-style lifestyle hotel in the Enge district, 5 minutes from Lake Zurich by foot. All 162 units are apartments with kitchenettes, washer-dryers, and living areas. The two-bedroom apartments sleep up to 6. The property suits week-long stays where self-catering cuts restaurant costs in a famously expensive city.
From
$409/night
Why families love Locke am Platz Zurich
Families who stay for a week rave about the cost savings from the kitchenette; a trip to Coop cuts food spend by half compared to eating out every meal. Two-bedroom apartments mean parents and kids have real bedroom doors, a rarity at this price point in Zurich. The ground-floor lobby has board games and a residents-only lounge that works for rainy afternoons.
Hotel Krone Unterstrass
Unterstrass
Excellent
3,666 reviews
A 4-star family-run hotel in the quieter Unterstrass district, 10 minutes by tram from the centre. The property has dedicated family rooms for 4 and triples, plus connecting doubles on request. The tram stop is outside the front door and the Zurich Zoo tram line runs directly past.
From
$372/night
Why families love Hotel Krone Unterstrass
The draw for families is the zoo tram connection right at the door; you're at the Zurich Zoo in 15 minutes without changing trams. Rooms are old-Swiss comfortable, not designer-cool, which suits families more than corporate decor. Breakfast is a proper buffet with a kids' corner of cereals, yoghurt, and fresh fruit.
Altstadt Hotel Zürich
Kirchgasse
Excellent
540 reviews
Altstadt Hotel Zürich occupies a three-storey building on medieval Kirchgasse, thirty seconds from the Limmat river path. Family rooms sleep four and the hotel organises its own bike tours plus walking tours for rest days. Shuttle service is included for late flights and the pet-allowed policy makes it a rare option for families travelling with a dog.
From
€485/night
Why families love Altstadt Hotel Zürich
The hotel runs a morning bike tour that took our kids through parts of the Altstadt we never would have found, ending at a bakery near Grossmünster. Family room has a ladder to the upper bunk which kids always rank higher than any actual amenity. Staff lent us a helmet in a 4-year-old size which was a rare find. The location made every restaurant walkable without tram tickets.
Hotel St.Gotthard
City Centre
Very Good
3,804 reviews
A 4-star institution on Bahnhofstrasse, a 2-minute walk from Zurich HB and the tram network. The property offers junior suites and family rooms sleeping four with the option to add a cot. Location suits families who want everything within tram-free walking distance: lake, Old Town, main station.
From
$470/night
Why families love Hotel St.Gotthard
Families rate the location above everything else; you walk to the lake in 10 minutes and to the zoo tram in two. Family rooms are compact for Swiss standards but the windows are triple-glazed so the tram noise is invisible. Parents with young kids like the room-service kids menu and the 4pm afternoon tea with pastries included in family packages.
Very Good
960 reviews
Engimatt City & Garden Hotel is the cycling hotel with an actual garden. Family rooms overlook the lawn where kids can decompress between rides, and tennis equipment comes out on request. The restaurant serves proper Swiss rösti for 16 CHF and the lake is a four-minute ride on dedicated paths. Post-ride snacks on the terrace are the daily ritual.
From
€455/night
Why families love Engimatt City & Garden Hotel
The garden saved us on our rainy-afternoon day. Kids played tag while we ate pastries at the outside tables. The family room is genuinely a family room, not two singles pushed together, and the terrace has shade for prams and toddlers. Bikes at reception but the nicer touch is the welcome juice for kids when you check in after a long transfer.
💡Tips from Parents Who've Booked
- 1Ask specifically about the bed configuration when booking. 'Family room' can mean a king plus one roll-away (three sleepers) or a king plus two singles (four). If you need four real beds, confirm by email before paying a non-refundable rate.
- 2Check if the Zurich Card is included or discounted with your stay. It covers all trams, buses, trains, boats within the zone and cuts admission to most museums. At CHF 28 per adult per day this pays for itself in three tram rides.
- 3Book with breakfast included, not room-only. Swiss hotel breakfasts are proper spreads with cheese, fresh pastries, muesli and hot food; skipping them to save 30 CHF per adult usually means you then pay 40 CHF for a café stop.
- 4If your suite has a kitchenette, hit the Migros or Coop for staples on arrival day. Both chains are everywhere and a loaf plus cold cuts plus fruit feeds a family for two days at supermarket prices rather than 120 CHF restaurant tabs.
- 5Families with under-3s should confirm the cot or crib is already in the room. Swiss hotels rarely charge extra but they need a heads-up; a late request can mean a folding cot rather than a proper travel cot.
