Condé Nast Traveler "Built on the banks of the Sihl River in the hip Creis 4 neighborhood, the 16-room Hotel Helvetia has become a hub for the city’s edgy art community, many of whose members have made the cozy street-level café-bar cum lobby their preferred hangout and also pack the hotel’s candlelit restaurant, reached via a sturdy oak staircase, for the comfort food of Zurich native chef Françoise Wicki, a rising culinary star" Full review
