Hotel Ambassador Review

One of our favorite hotels in Zurich is a small-scale gem with a lot of charm and pizazz. It was originally built late in the 19th century as the "Falkenschloss," a then-private villa whose distinguished Beaux Arts facade complements the opera house immediately across the street, near the important tramway junction at Bellevue Platz. After the turn of the millennium, its interior was radically upgraded into the modernized baroque decor you see today. Bedrooms are high ceilinged, with supremely comfortable beds (each adjusts, hospital style, to whatever angle and configuration you want), and generally spacious. A well-trained staff attends to your comfort, providing the services that a traveling business representative may need. The on-site restaurant, À l'Opéra, is one of the best restaurants in Zurich, but more reasonably priced than you might expect.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; concierge; room service

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.
