Frommer's Review

Visitors can expect the customary Hilton service in this black steel-and-glass hotel built in 1975. In the center of town, it's connected via an underground shopping arcade to the main railway station. Bedrooms are generally roomy and comfortable, with built-in furnishings, blackout draperies, abstract paintings, easy chairs, and plenty of work space. Bathrooms are large and well equipped. There are even some rooms for tall people. The Wettstein Restaurant is one of the city's best restaurants.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor heated pool; health club; sauna; car-rental desk; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for guests w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
