9 Best Hotels in Zurich for Every Budget

Do you love cities steeped in history that are also incredibly hip? Then Zurich is perfect for you! With this shortlist of the best hotels in Zurich, choosing the perfect hotel for your city break is a breeze. The Altstadt (Old Town) is full of unique buildings and boasts charming cafés and restaurants. But venture a little further outside the old city center and you'll discover the trendiest neighborhoods with an industrial character and numerous charming wine bars and coffee shops. Lake Zurich, southeast of the city, is also worth a visit. In good weather, you can relax by the water, swim, or take a lovely (autumn) stroll along the banks. Curious about Zurich? I've already selected the best hotels in Zurich for you, with tips for every budget.

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢

Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3

In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.

Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake

TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.

You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk

I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.

Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.

During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.

• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.

· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.

· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.

Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.

• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).

Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.

9 of the best hotels in Zurich for every budget

La Reserve Eden au Lac Zurich

This hotel exudes grandeur. The hotel owners commissioned Philippe Starck to restyle it, and while preserving the elegance of yesteryear, he certainly succeeded. He drew inspiration for the style from the atmosphere of a yacht club. La Reserve Eden au Lac Zurich offers two restaurant options: Eden Kitchen & Bar on the ground floor and La Muña on the rooftop for a Peruvian-Japanese menu. The sleekly decorated rooms offer stunning mountain views.
