Radisson Blu Hotel, Zurich Airport

The Radisson Blu at the Zurich airport is a gem. Located right in the middle of the airport is is a great place to recharge the batteries before or after your business trip. Free WiFi is speedy and the staff is so pleasant. Beautiful room appointments. Everything you need is just an elevator ride away in the amazing mall. A one star hit only for the serious lack of electrical recepticles. Expensive? YES! It is Zurich, everything is expensive in Zurich. Just let it wash over you and relax. One of my favorite airport hotels in the world.

Wow! We were upgraded to a generous suite at the Radisson Blu Zurich airport. It’s very modern, and our room included a complimentary mini bar and breakfast. We are Club Carlson members. We booked the room with points, but it seems like they upgraded us. I was impressed with the convenience and luxury of this slick modern hotel.
I requested a quiet room and our room was completely silent. Seriously, I could hear my hair growing, it was so quiet. We had a view of the airport, yet no sound at all from the airport! There was no sound at all from anyone in our hallway, either.
People working at the Zurich airport/​train station gave us all sorts of confusing directions to find the hotel. DON’T ask for DIRECTIONS! If you arrive by train or plane, Just walk to the shopping level and follow the signs for the Radisson Blu. You can take your luggage cart right to the check-​in desk for the Radisson Blu. You DON’T need to go outside, despite what anyone mistakenly tells you, despite the construction. When you follow the signs to find the hotel, you will reach a narrow hallway, and may think you are lost. You aren’t lost… you are almost there.
This was our second stay at the Radisson Blu, and the hotel has definitely been upgraded between our stays. The A/​C worked very well, and had individual controls for us in the bedroom and in the sitting room!
Our gigantic bathroom had a separate tub, separate shower with great water pressure, and a toilet in a privacy chamber. We had 2 sinks, but one of them was clogged up, which I reported to the front desk staff. They didn’t fix the clog during our stay, but we only stayed for 1 night.
Location: The Radisson Blu is IN the complex that includes the airport, the train station, shops, and this hotel. You don’t need a taxi, and your free luggage cart can take your luggage all the way to the check-​in desk for the hotel. IF you have to abandon your luggage cart to get on an escalator, don’t despair, because there seemed to be luggage carts available everywhere. There are elevators and escalators. (Please don’t take your luggage cart on the escalator… it’s heavier than you think!)
Breakfast (complimentary for us) included an omelet station, where I ordered an excellent cheese & veggie omelet. Of course, every vegetarian omelette needs a slice of bacon on top, so I added one! (-; The omelet station has bacon and other yummy items. We were seated for breakfast without any instructions, but we figured it out. When the chef appears at the omelet station, run over there and order your omelet. The chef was making custom omelets and delivering them personally to people’s tables. There is also a buffet with cold meats, cheeses, fruits, breads, cereals, etc. I normally don’t expect much from a chain hotel’s free breakfast, but this one was excellent. My only suggestion is that when they seat customers for breakfast, some instructions are necessary, as it’s a big breakfast area, and we didn’t know about the omelets until halfway through breakfast.
This is a very pricey hotel, but we booked it with points, so for us, it seemed «free». (-; Our stay was nearly perfect. My one suggestion for improvement is that when we first arrived, the staff at the check-​in desk didn’t greet us. There was nobody in line, but they seemed to prefer to finish their work on their computer before greeting us. I suggest that they immediately warmly welcome guests who are arriving to check in.
If we had paid in dollars instead of points, our suite would have been around $ 900, I believe. I’m torn between a 4 or 5 star rating. This is an excellent hotel, with a little bit of room for improvements, as I’ve mentioned in my review. Overall, my reaction was «WOW!», so I’m giving them a 5 star review.

Super convenient location for international travel. The Radisson Blu is located right in the airport. And the train station!
Travel in Switzerland is as efficient as can be. Not only do the planes, trains, trams, and buses run like clockwork, but this beautiful hotel right in the airport makes travel fun and convenient.
We received a free upgrade to a Junior suite along with free breakfast, as a member of Club Carlson. The Carlson chain of hotels, which includes the Radisson, is better known in Europe then in the states.
Our room was beautifully appointed and expansive. We were able to watch planes landing and taking off from our big picture windows. Nevertheless, it was very quiet and we had a very peaceful night.
I highly recommend the Radisson Blu when coming or going through Zürich. You don’t need a cab to get here, and travel couldn’t be made more relaxing and convenient.

I have had dinner with a group of people at the Filini Restaurant in the Raddison Blue Hotel.
Drinks were served very quickly and the staff was professional and friendly.
They brought a variety of bread and Focaccia to the table and it was very good.
For dinner I only had a hamburger. It was served with the usual bread and such. Fries were very good. The burger was disappointing.
They were asking CHF 29.- for the burger with fries. Hey, guys, this is ok if it is a wonderful piece of hamburger. But it was not.
It tasted like any burger you can get at a place where they trust cash and carry more then the local butcher.
We had a wonderful evening anyway but I would not recommend coming here for burgers — better stop at the Sternen Grill booth in front of the Bus stop and have a decent sausage…

You should relax at their steam room, it’s great. The rooms are really convenient, new, clean, fast service, nice bar, pricy restaurants but you can eat something at the food court in the terminal, just 4 minutes walk. I love connecting via Zurich.

Das Hotelrestaurant ist gut und das Personal höflich. Wenn man Meetings bucht, sind die Preise horrend. Ich habe da mal einen Vergleich angestellt. Man zahlt pro Stunde nicht ganz das, was man in so manchem 5-​Sterne-​Hotel in Deutschland pro Tag bezahlt. Und wenn man nur drei Minuten länger bleibt, wird gleich die nächste angefangene Stunde verrechnet. 5 Minuten früher den Meetingraum betreten ist genausowenig (auch wenn er sonst von niemanden gebucht ist). Kundenorientierung (wir sind Stammkunden) sieht für mich anders aus.

Nice, new, clean, modern hotel. I usually stay here the night before flying out of Zurich since it’s connected to the airport and airport train station. If I were visiting Zurich, I’d rather stay in the actual city, although it’s really not a far train ride from this hotel. Aside from price, there’s really nothing to complain about with this hotel… and this is Zurich/​Switzerland, so you should already expect everything to be expensive.
The best thing about this hotel however is the giant glass wine tower and the wine angels who frolic inside of it. What are wine angels you say? They are ridiculously fit and attractive European women who wear skin tight outfits, suspend themselves from wires and do aerial acrobatics until your brain is so overwhelmed with crazy euro-​sex fantasies that you temporarily black out, only to awake and find yourself chained to a rack inside Club Vandersexxx, staring down the barrel of a triple barreled flugenheimer. Just try not to forget the safe word.

Very nice hotel. Very nice service Very nice front desk. Very expensive hotel. To laundry my socks = $ 12 /​pair. And I can walk 5 min to buy $ 2 /​pair in the supermarket.
The hotel is walking distance with the airport. But it is very isolated. You have to take the train to the city.
Every 30 min in the evening, they have the wine angel. Beautiful ladies dance taking wines in the tower.
In the breakfast area, they have hot chilli. The hot chilli you find in the asian restaurant. Original asian chilli. Wow!!!
When I ordered the pizza, they asked me if I want special sauce. Yes, of course I said. And guess what did they have? The Asian hot chilli. Pizza … in Zurich … hot chilli … killer combination

This hotel is very expensive! However, if you value convenience when traveling you cannot beat the location. And the wine nymphs are fun too.

This is a nice and pricy hotel that is almost in the airport. Comparing to the average swiss hotel price tag, this one is on the higher side but not overpriced. It is very close to the airport, you can walk from the terminal to the hotel within minutes. There are shops and grocery store on the way from the airport to the hotel. The hotel room is average. The bathroom and shower is nice. I didn’t watch TV, so no comment on the TV channels. The hotel offers free Wifi, a big plus! When I checked in, I ask them if I can borrow a international outlet converter since I lost mine. They told me there is one in the closet. Later, I realized that there is no converter. There is a US compatible outlet inside the safe in the closet. I had to putting my phone and ipad inside the safe to charge them. I was really afraid of forgetting to take them out when I leave the hotel. The bed is big and comfortable. I love that they have neck roll in addition to the pillows. The breakfast is included. However, I didn’t have time for breakfast. After a bit negotiation and showing my flight ticket, they lowered the room price a bit without offering breakfast. It worked for me.

War nicht zum Übernachten oder im Restarant, sondern anlässlich einer Konferenz im Radisson Blu. Die Bestuhlung war gut, das Essen lecker, der Service freundlich, die WCs ausreichend :-) und sauber…

Im «Radisson Blu» in Zürich-​Kloten durfte ich schon an einigen Veranstaltungen teilnehmen und jedes Mal es wie ein Traum. Zauberhafte Atmosphäre, Leute aller Altersklassen, schwebende Engel im Weinturm sowie nette Getränke und Häppchen.
Die Zimmer des «Radisson Blu» sind komfortabel eingerichtet. Neben einem extrem himmlischen und bequemen Bett hat mir vor allem begehbare Dusche imponiert. Es gibt Hotel, in denen einem das mühsam Einsteigen in die Dusche erspart wird. Bravo.

Immer, wenn ein Anlass vor der Tür steht fragt man sich, wohin nur? In ein edles Restaurant? In ein schmuckes Hotel? In ein «mal anderes» Ambiente oder eher rustikaler Natur? Oft, wenn keine zündende Idee kommt, gehen wir ins Radisson Blu.
Hier in Kloten-​Zürich finden Veranstaltungen statt, Feiern und andere grosse Ereignisse. Neben dem sehr geschäftlich-​modernen Ambiente gibt es hier leckeres Essen, tolle Weine und herrlich schöné Feste von A bis Z. Tolle gemütlich-​chillige Musik im Hintergrund, einen toll-​fantastischen Weinturm und viele Details in Einrichtung und Aufbau der Szenerie. Tolle Kellner die mit Stil und Charme servieren und zu Diensten stehen. Hier fühlen sich Gastgeber, Veranstalter und Gäste einfach pudelwohl und wer nicht mehr nach hause gehen mag, kann hier in konfortabel eingerichteten Zimmern die Nachtruhe geniessen.

Wer eine originelle Art eines Weinkellers (oder in diesem Fall eines Weinturms) sehen will, sollte mal in die Hotelbar des Radisson Hotel am Flughafen Zürich vorbei gehen. Es herrscht zwar ein eher stieres und «business-​people» Ambiente (zweifellos wegen den vielen Topmanagern, Piloten und sonstigen Geschäftsmännern, die dort hausen…) mit easy lounge Klaviermusik im Hintergrund, aber man kann ja auch mal gediegen den Alkoholpegel steigen lassen. Zurück zum Weinturm: er ist gläsern und wird mit Lichtern betrieben. Das wirklich interessante am Turm ist aber dessen Inhalt (also nebst dem Wein): athletische Frauen im weissen Kostüm und an Seilen befestigt klettern von innen den Turm hinauf und hinab. Es ist schön anzusehen, könnte aber sicherlich nach meinem Geschmack noch als Programm oder Show Act ausgebaut werden (wäre doch auch für die Männerwelt interessanter und lockt mehr spendierfreudige Kunden an ;-)). Ansonsten ist die Radisson Hotel Bar am Flughafen so ziemlich normal. Ein Ort, um Gespräche zu führen und dabei einen leckeren Cocktail zu schlürfen.
