Luxury Penthouse Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up Glasmalergasse to reach the Luxury Penthouse Apartment, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — the street name sounds fancy, but you know how these things can go. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Aussersihl, and the moment you step inside, you realize this isn’t your typical hotel experience. It’s actually an apartment setup, which means you get way more space than cramming into a standard hotel room.

The Space Itself

The penthouse layout is what really sold me on this place. You’ve got a proper living area that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, and the kitchen — I mean, it’s actually functional, not just some mini-fridge situation. I spent a morning making coffee and planning my day from the dining table, which felt surprisingly normal after weeks of hotel stays. The bedroom is spacious enough that you’re not tripping over your suitcase, and honestly, the whole setup just works better for couples who want some breathing room.

Location Perks

Here’s what I love about staying in Aussersihl — you’re close enough to Zurich‘s main attractions without dealing with the tourist crowds right outside your door. The neighborhood has this authentic Swiss vibe that you miss when you’re staying in the obvious hotel districts. There’s a tram stop basically around the corner, so getting to the old town or the lake takes maybe 10-15 minutes. Plus, there are some solid local spots for dinner that you’d never find if you were stuck in the typical tourist zone.

Why Couples Dig It

I can totally see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something about having your own space that just changes the whole travel dynamic. You can actually spread out, cook breakfast together if you want, or just lounge around without feeling like you’re in each other’s way. The apartment has enough room for those little morning routines that make you feel human, you know? And when you want to explore the city, you’re perfectly positioned to do that too. The parking situation is decent if you’re driving, though honestly, with the tram connections, you probably won’t need a car much.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is that balance between space and location — you get the privacy and comfort of having your own place, but you’re still right in the mix of everything Zurich has to offer. The recent guests aren’t wrong about the location being top-notch; it’s one of those spots where you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. For the price point of a four-star property, you’re getting a lot more value than you would at a traditional hotel, especially if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two.

Best hotels in Zurich pair private spa suites, seasonal tasting menus, and panoramic lounges above the Alps.

    Location and space

  • Exceptional – Sindhu from United States of America (9/10)

    Very convenient location. Easy to get to from Zurich HB by bus. Apartment is huge and lot of beds to accommodate 6 people and more. Hosts were gracious to leave some laundry, dishwasher, kitchen supplies for us to use. The key had to be retrieved from a lockbox which confused us a bit in the beginning. The image in the instructions send were an older one I think. But we figured it out. Loved the big windows from all the rooms and we could peek out into the city. Netflix was connected on the TV, so kids were occupied when we were home.

  • Exceptional for families with kids – Salman from Pakistan (9/10)

    Location was great with the tram station a minute away and the main train station a few minutes walk away. City center is about 12-15 minutes walk. Apartment was well stocked and specially suitable for children. Bathrooms were huge.
