Radisson Blu Hotel, Zurich Airport

Prós: Outstanding proximity to the Zurich Airport. Spacious accommodations.

Contras: Bathroom lighting wasn't sufficient.

Solid Experience - Key Highlight was Breakfast

Prós: You get what you pay for. Convenient location for layovers, and the staff was helpful in directing me to what was open late due, to my late arrival. Highlight was breakfast. I have stayed at many hotels, around the world, and that was the best breakfast I have had/seen. I usually stay at nice hotels with good value, so if you are a high roller, maybe you have seen better. Nonetheless, the breakfast deserves a gold star in the board.

Perfect for a layover in Zurich

Prós: We find ourselves every year with a night to spend in Zurich while traveling from the US to the Alps for skiing. This year's trip had a motor coach connection from the airport on arrival. Other years we had a night to spend before departure from Zurich. We have tried other airport hotels and few in the city. We like to eat a favorite restaurant in Zurich which is a short train ride from the airport. The Radisson was just perfect. More convenient than the other airport hotels which are reached by shuttle bus. The connection to the airport is underground through the large train station/shopping center. The train into the city leaves every 15 minutes. I love the design of this Radisson. Our room faced an an interior courtyard with a tall "wine tower" lit by changing LED lights. I thought this would annoying but it was good. The heat and ac were perfect. The bathroom was well designed. All the lighting in the room was superb. I am an architect and I really appreciate good Swiss design. This is well designed hotel, better than any Radisson I have stayed at, contrary to some reviewers who say they are all the same.

Contras: Nothing

Great layover hotel

Prós: Walking Distance underground to airport

Contras: None I can think of

If you get in late or fly out early from Zurich ZU

Prós: The convenience of location of the hotel. You don't have to leave the airport per say. There is an underground passage right into the hotel. Very clean. Very Swiss. There isn't a bad room. Beds are great. Quiet rooms. If you can swing the cost then stay here if you have an early flight out or you get into ZUR late. You won't be disappointed

Contras: You better know the person you are staying since there is a glass wall that divides you from the bathroom. There is a curtain that one can draw from the outside. I saw this in Dubai one time and it is interesting. Usually if you are staying in the same room with someone you know them. This was my sister which I could handle. The curtain was drawn. Nice place over all. They don't have the convenience of you printing out a boarding pass. You have to email it to the front desk. A bit weird for an " AIRPORT HOTEL" Not to have an easy convenience like this printing option.

Prós: The staff made a handful of weary travelers very welcome and right at home. The accommodations were excellent.

Contras: Not applicable.
