24 Hours at the Marktgassen Hotel, Zurich

A travel story by Noelle Sele

If you went to Zurich for ages but never visit the old town of Zurich you did something wrong. You can’t be unhappy walking through the small side streets, seeing all the beautiful and charming buildings, the fancy people or just enjoy the magical history the old town has to tell. Exactly this feeling is represented at the wonderful yet cosy Marktgassen Hotel in the heart of Zurich old town. From the arriving till the very last goodbye everything was perfect. 

The room looked quite simple but had a lot of special details. It was full of natural daylight and designer furniture gave the room a beautiful atmosphere. My personal highlight: the bathroom. The first thing when I arrived was taking a shower because I was overwhelmed by the design of every single piece of this cool bathroom. My shower experience got even better when I saw their amazing Aesop Body Balm in perfectly fruity fragrances – oh how I loved them.

After my shower I went to the bar to have my welcome cocktail. Of course the enthusiasm for the Marktgassen Hotel went on. Situated next to the main entrance, the Baltho bar offers a lot of different, homemade and special alcoholic drinks. The self-made ginger beer is definitely worth a try. 

Who doesn’t like enjoying an amazing drink by having an even more amazing view? I think everyone loves it. Well, the Marktgassen Hotel offers it: a truly breath-taking rooftop suite with a huge terrace where you can enjoy a view all over this amazing city!  I felt so powerful and was totally amazed by the view. 

Another thing I liked was that every single room is individual. An interesting mix of the old and new matches perfectly and makes this hotel like your home away from home. The Markgassen Hotel has so much to offer and will definitely give you the exact same feeling it gave me: Leaving as a totally satisfied guest.
