Widder Hotel

What the classifiers highlight

Nine medieval townhouses, joined by modern passageways in Zurich's Old Town, hold 49 rooms and no two share a design: metal catwalks in one, loft-style raw brick in another, carved baroque woodwork in a third. Both guides point to the Widder Restaurant, where chef Stefan Heilemann's two-Michelin-starred kitchen bridges classic technique and modern plating.
