“Hotel Hirschen benefits from its location in Zurich's old town, a short walk from the main station. The building's architecture reflects its 13th-century origins, creating a historic atmosphere. I found the wine cellar, Weinschenke, with its extensive selection, a particularly appealing feature, and the courtyard provides a relaxing escape.”
