Kameha Grand Zurich Hotel Autograph Collection

"The rooms are very nice, they are clean, well appointed, and fairly large by European standards. Everyone at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Check-in was efficient and it’s very well located on the tram line making it easy to access the city while being close to the airport. The only negative was the breakfast which was just average. I always look forward to breakfast in European hotels which is typically far above US standards. Selections were limited and the quality/taste wasn’t quite there for the price charged. The staff in the restaurant weren’t the most welcoming in the hotel either."

"While not billed as an airport hotel, the Kameha is a short 3 stop tram ride (every 10 minutes) to/from ZRH and the closest Marriott property to the airport which is how I found myself checking into this very unusual property for one night prior to a morning flight. This is an Autograph collection property which is billed by Marriott as independent and featuring "unique Swiss design". Check-in was quick and my Marriott status was immediately acknowledged (more than the usual at an actual Marriott property). I was told that I was getting an upgrade and didn't pay much attention until I opened the door of my room to find a somewhat kinky James Bond theme throughout including red walls and maroon padded leather sliding doors on 2 sides of the bathroom that effectively opened it into the room, including a freestanding tub that basically was right in the center next to the bed. There was also a faux safe that opened to reveal the minibar and actual mini-safe. Other decor included a gold sequined sofa and plenty of mirrors. Not your average airport hotel! While seeming to be designed for a tryst of some kind, the room was actually quite comfortable with a choice of daytime, lounge and evening lighting, automatic blinds and a large TV. I'm not sure how many rooms of this type are at the hotel but they also feature very large suites that include among other things treadmills in rooms, etc. Worth noting that the hotel has a well-equipped gym on the top floor and breakfast in the morning (included with my Marriott status) was a large varied buffet served in the hotel's main restaurant. If you need to stay near the Zurich Airport, the hotel is definitely a change from a humdrum airport hotel and if you are looking for adventure this is definitely a perfect option."

"We stayed in the Kameha Grand Zurich for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday. It was close to the city however we decided to stay outside so we were able to see not the city centre. Occasionally we are out in the evening we take a taxi and during the day tome we jump tram and enjoy using the public transport. The facilities were good and the room was well-equipped and modern. The team was accommodating and the receptionist (young fella) on 15 Sept was so kind to let us have a late check out, which means a lot. The chef always made me a nice omelette in the morning."
