Hotels With a Bar Near Zurich Hauptbahnhof
This page lists hotels with a bar on site around Zurich Hauptbahnhof, the city's main station, where Bahnhofstrasse begins and the Langstrasse district lies just behind the tracks. A hotel bar here is a practical end to a day of meetings or sightseeing, especially when you arrive late by train. The choice ranges from the 24-hour bar at Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich, a short walk from Bahnhofstrasse and Lindenhof, to the cosy bar at 25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse with its station views, and simpler bars at Motel One, ibis Styles and Saint Georges Hotel.
Zurich Hauptbahnhof sits where the Sihl meets the Limmat, at the northern end of Bahnhofstrasse, the city's main shopping street. To the south lie Lindenhof and the old town along the Limmat, while the Langstrasse district behind the station is livelier in the evening. Distances are short and trams run from the station square, so most hotels on this page are a walk or a short ride from the platforms.
Late bars and lounges by the station
Near Zurich Hauptbahnhof, a hotel bar ranges from a lounge open around the clock to a small bar next to the breakfast room. The difference matters if you arrive on a late train, want a quiet drink after work or prefer a livelier setting near Langstrasse. Several hotels here also accept pets, which helps if you travel by train with a dog.
Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich is my first pick for a drink near the station. It has a 24-hour bar and a movie lounge, rooms with a classic feel, some with balconies, and it is a short walk from Bahnhofstrasse and Lindenhof. It is pet-friendly and accessible, and it holds the best rating on this page, 9.4 from more than 3,500 reviews. A bar that never closes is especially useful after a late train, and the location puts the old town and the shops of Bahnhofstrasse within walking distance the next morning.
25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse is the choice for a livelier setting. This trendy boutique hotel, a short walk from the station, has a cosy bar, a Levantine restaurant and rooms with station views, plus a fitness centre and loaner Minis and bikes for exploring the city. It accepts pets and is rated 9.2 by more than 3,500 guests. Its position on the Langstrasse side of the tracks suits travellers who want to step out into the district's evening life, while still being able to reach the platforms quickly. The loaner Minis and bikes are an unusual extra for guests who want to move around on their own.
For a lower budget, Hotel Motel One Zürich has a stylish bar, contemporary rooms, some with balconies, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and it is rated 8.8 by more than 2,500 guests. Motel One is also described as suitable for families. ibis Styles Zurich City Center, a 3-star hotel, adds a sauna, an exercise room and a restaurant to its bar, with parking and free Wi-Fi, and it caters to families and business travellers. Hotel Adler Zürich, rated 9.0, has a bar, a restaurant with a terrace and free breakfast. All three accept pets, which suits travellers arriving by train with a dog.
For longer stays, Aparthotel Adagio Zurich City Center, a short walk from Zurich HB, offers spacious apartments with kitchens, along with a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre and parking, rated 8.6. Saint Georges Hotel, also rated 8.6, has a lobby bar with a lounge, a restaurant and parking, near public transport. Leonardo Boutique Hotel Rigihof Zurich has a restaurant, a bar and a furnished terrace, with a fitness centre and parking, but its 7.2 is the lowest rating here. I would choose Adagio for a week with self-catering and a bar downstairs.
A traveler's perspectiveFor an evening drink after arriving at Zurich Hauptbahnhof, I would book Ruby Mimi Hotel Zurich: its bar is open 24 hours, it has a movie lounge, and it holds a 9.4 from more than 3,500 reviews, a short walk from Bahnhofstrasse and Lindenhof. If I wanted a livelier evening, my choice would be 25hours Hotel Zürich Langstrasse, with its cosy bar and station views.

Old-town hotel at Rosengasse 10, seven minutes on foot from Zurich HB, with breakfast from 6:30
View hotel →Why guests love itI would book the Adler for a family travelling by train who want the old town rather than a station block. Zurich HB is about seven minutes on foot, tram 4 stops 100 m away, and the hotel has three family room types, from the Family Room to the Grand Family Room and a combined family option.
