"This 168-year-old family-owned hotel in the city center, overlooking Lake Zürich, is both historic and up-to-date: more than $160 million has been spent on renovations over the past decade." Full review

Upper-middle-range
"The Hotel Continental Zurich - MGallery Collection is a mid-range hotel with Alpine chalet-themed interiors located a short walk from the main train station." Full review

The constant drill of trains outside the hotel may put off guests in street-facing rooms, and light sleepers should request the interior courtyard facing rooms or those in the back.
