Hotel Widder
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
The Hotel Widder is a hotel and restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland. Established in 1995,[1] it is located on Rennweg, in Niederdorf, in the city's Altstadt district. The hotel's 49 rooms are spread across nine medieval townhouses,[2] the oldest of which dates to the 13th century.[3] Widder is German for ram, with the name being chosen for the hotel because one of the townhouses was the guildhouse for a master butcher.[4]
Key Information
In 2003, when the hotel had its original eight townhouses and 42 rooms,[5][6] it was owned by Swiss bank UBS.[7] UBS sold the property to insurance company Swiss Life in 2018,[8][9] while the hotel business is part of The Living Circle group, which is based in Zurich's Bleicherweg.[10]
The hotel underwent a large renovation in 2009[4] and in 2016, the latter to a design by architect Tilla Theus.[8]
Its two restaurants are named Boucherie AuGust and the Widder Restaurant.[2]
