Breakfast with eggs
I would make time for eggs Benedict. The CHF 42 buffet includes an egg dish of your choice; à la carte Benedict costs CHF 21. Complimentary Grab’n’Go is a separate service.12
Neues Schloss Privat Hotel Zürich
I’d take the Castellan Suite’s rooftop terrace: sit among the plants and Enge’s rooftops, then walk down to the lake. There are 57 rooms and suites in this 1930s Art Deco building; for swimming and saunas you head out to nearby Stockerhof.
The Tonhalle is directly opposite: I’d walk back from the concert and end the evening on the Castellan Suite’s terrace, above Enge’s rooftops. For a holiday spent mostly in a spa, a hotel with its own wellness floor will suit you better.

The terrace to choose
For a seat among the rooftops, I would choose the 43–48 m² Castellan Suite with its private terrace. The 31 m² Grand Superior has a 3 m² balcony instead.
January or February
On 4–10 January 2027, individual nights range from CHF 317 to CHF 384. For 3 nights with less variation, I would look at 5–7 February: CHF 332 each, searched separately for 2 adults.
The breakfast bill
The buffet costs CHF 42, with an egg dish of your choice; à la carte Benedict costs CHF 21. For dinner, I would keep the CHF 21 empanadas and CHF 46 octopus in mind.
Take your swim outside
For the saltwater pool and saunas, head to nearby Stockerhof, with complimentary access for hotel guests. For dinner at Castellan’s, I would return before the kitchen closes at 10 pm, Monday to Saturday.
What Neues Schloss is
For a few days in Zurich, I would start with the Superior king: 21–26 m², against 18 m² in the queen-bedded Deluxe. For reading outdoors, the Grand Superior adds a 3 m² balcony; the Castellan gives you a rooftop terrace and 43–48 m² indoors.1
The gym, spa and pool are at nearby Fitnesspark Stockerhof, with complimentary access for hotel guests: a saltwater pool, whirlpool, saunas and steam bath. Your swim takes you outside the hotel.123

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Neues Schloss’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Location
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like walking to the lake and Bahnhofstrasse.
Room
6 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like the balconies and comfortable beds. Others describe cramped bathrooms and rooms that the air conditioning struggles to cool.
Staff and service
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests remember welcome drinks and restaurant recommendations. Other accounts describe cancelled bookings and difficulty getting a solution.
Breakfast
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests praise eggs Benedict; reservations concern limited breakfast selection and some bills considered too high for the breakfast received.
Price
Several guests find the rate high for small rooms and bathrooms; a few find it fair for the location.
How we count
| What | Guests’ score | Guests who mention it | Happy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 8.2 | 91 | 90% |
| Room | 6.5 | 91 | 60% |
| Staff and service | 7.2 | 145 | 73% |
| Breakfast | 7.0 | 37 | 68% |
| Price | – | 21 | 24% |
180 guests said so on Google, from 1 January 2022 to 12 October 2026. The 180 comments with text include stays, dining and other visits; they are not all verified overnight stays. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
Price: for 2, the night of 6 December 2026, from 306 CHF on Google Hotels on 19 October 2026.
What a night costs, period by period
From 23 January to 28 March 2027, individual-night minima range from CHF 332 to CHF 573. I would look at 5–7 February: CHF 332 for each night searched separately, for 2 adults.
| Period | CHF a night |
|---|---|
| 21 October 2026 to 15 January 2027 | 306–712 |
| 16 January to 22 January 2027 | 452–573 |
| 23 January to 28 March 2027 | 332–573 |
| 29 March to 14 September 2027 | 397–704 |
Any-seller Google Hotels minima for individual nights searched separately for 2 adults, with no room, meals or taxes identified. CHF 306 on 6 December 2026 is an isolated minimum; the calendar reaches 14 September 2027.
Neues Schloss or Widder
At Neues Schloss, I would choose the Castellan Suite’s terrace and the nearby lake. At Widder, the Historic Junior Suite for sleeping beside 17th-century frescoes in the Old Town. For individual nights on 23–29 November 2026, minima are CHF 344 and CHF 688 respectively, with no room category identified.
| Hotel | A night, from |

| Neues Schloss | 344 CHF |
| Widder Hotel | 688 CHF |
Minima for individual nights searched separately for 2 adults during 23–29 November 2026, with no room, meals or taxes identified. Read on 19 October 2026 for Neues Schloss and 18 October 2026 for Widder.

Breakfast, dinner and time between meetings
Dinner at Castellan’s
At Castellan’s, I would order Argentine beef empanadas with chimichurri for CHF 21, or octopus with mashed potatoes and confit tomatoes for CHF 46. The kitchen closes at 10 pm; the restaurant stays open until 11 pm, Monday to Saturday.12
The Library for 16
The Library hosts meetings and private dinners for up to 16 people. A half-day meeting package costs CHF 130 per person, for at least 6 people: room hire, equipment, unlimited coffee, tea and water, one break with juice and snacks and a 3-course lunch.12
Good to know before you book
Several guests describe quiet nights; others report traffic and trams in street-facing rooms. Air conditioning struggled to cool some rooms during their stays: I would not choose this address expecting guaranteed silence.
Every category accommodates a maximum of 2 people; rollaway beds are not available.12
