Named after the black storks which once nested on the rooftop, the Storchen’s history can be traced back to 1357. The current building dates from 1938 and occupies the same prestigious spot on the banks of the river Limmat as its predecessors. Within easy walking distance to Zurich’s main attractions, the hotel is renowned for its warm and exceptional levels of service, and relaxed home from home ambience.
