A Thai evening
I would book dinner at White Elephant, daily from 6pm to 10pm; lunch is on weekdays from noon to 2pm.1
Zurich Marriott Hotel
At Zurich Marriott Hotel, I would choose the Business Suite: 2 chairs on the balcony facing Zurich’s rooftops. For dinner, my vote goes to curry at White Elephant.
A week here, month by monthI would stay by the Limmat at the Marriott, with Thai dinner at White Elephant and a whisky at Lenox. For a trip spent entirely in the old town’s lanes, I would book a room among them.

The family room
With children I would consider the North Wing Superior with 2 doubles: 29–32 m² and maximum occupancy of 4; I would then confirm whether the assigned room has already been renovated.
January dates
Individual nights on 4–10 January 2027 range from CHF 314 to CHF 320; 15–23 January 2027 rises to CHF 513–546, a difference I would consider before fixing the dates.
A lounge break
For M Club I would check the rate and ages together: admission starts at 12, with an upgrade at CHF 65 per person per day when available; younger children need other arrangements.
Arriving in the morning
Arriving early I would add confirmed access from 10am for CHF 120, offered for Deluxe and Superior rooms; with a car I would also budget CHF 42 a day for parking.
What the Zurich Marriott is
I would begin with the Limmat: book the view by name, then choose between the Main Building and North Wing. A 19 m² Single or Queen is listed for 1 guest; for 2 I would consider Superior rooms, at 25 m² in the Main Building or 29–32 m² in the North Wing.
Room renovation has progressed in phases from 2023 to 2026, with the final rooms scheduled for 2027. Before booking I would confirm the assigned room and any works during the stay. For a terrace and more time indoors, I would ask to see the 70–90 m² Panorama Suite.
I would save an evening for Thai food at White Elephant, then another for Swiss fondue at eCHo, Wednesday to Sunday. Afterwards, Lenox would be my choice for a whisky. M Club shapes the day for guests with access; with children under 12 I would make other plans for breakfast and breaks.

At Zurich Marriott Hotel, the Panorama Suite would tempt me with its terrace and Lake Zurich view. For dinner, my vote goes to curry at White Elephant.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Zurich Marriott’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 enjoy riverside walks and being able to walk to the station.
Room
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Space and views draw praise; some accounts report housekeeping or air-conditioning problems.
Staff and service
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Lounge staff draw praise; some accounts report waits for rooms and missed communication.
Breakfast
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests enjoy the choice of hot dishes, fruit and pastries, alongside the lounge staff.
Price
On Google, 12 of the 19 people discussing value for money write negatively. Some people describe rooms they considered too small and room-service charges.
How we count
| What | Guests’ score | Guests who mention it | Happy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 8.0 | 75 | 87% |
| Room | 6.4 | 58 | 66% |
| Staff and service | 7.0 | 111 | 73% |

151 guests said so on Google, from 2 January 2026 to 18 October 2026. Reviews of stays and visits from January 2026; earlier accounts remain in the original receipts. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Zurich: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 19 October 2026. 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.
The hotels we weigh it against in Zurich:
Price: for 2, the night of 7 January 2027, from 314 CHF on Google Hotels on 19 October 2026.

Both 19 m² Single and Queen variants are listed for 1 guest. For 2 I would choose a Superior, with 25 m² in the Main Building or 29–32 m² in the North Wing. Club rooms add M Club access; views, beds and occupancy vary between variants, so I would keep the room code in the confirmation.12345
How much space do the suites have?
Junior Club Suites have 34 m², with variants sleeping up to 3 or 4. Club Suites measure 65 m², Panorama Suites 70–90 m² and the bilevel Business Suite 110 m². I would look at the Panorama for a terrace and check the exact variant and sofa bed for a party of 4.123456

The North Wing Superior with 2 doubles, Junior Club Suite with sofa bed, Club Suite, Panorama Suite and Business Suite sleep up to 4. Some rooms connect, subject to availability. M Club admits guests aged 12 and over, a condition I would consider before choosing a lounge rate with children.1234567

The airport is listed at 9.8 km away. The hotel does not run its own shuttle; the reserved Cronos service is CHF 150 one way or CHF 240 return. The hotel places the main station about a 5-minute walk away; I would check the rail connection and walking route for the arrival time.1
