Pretty, personal, elegant
Hotel Helmhaus - the boutique hotel in Zurich
The present, family-run Boutique Hotel Helmhaus in the old town is one of Zurich’s oldest guesthouses: Records of the guesthouse once called ‘Hie zum Rosslyn’ go back as far as 1356 AD.
Today simple elegance and generous esthetics distinguish the hotel Helmhaus. There is a choice between 24 recently renovated rooms, each individually designed and furnished. We attach great importance to premium comfort. A particular eye-catcher is our collection of paintings by Swiss artist Gisèle Mengis.
Services as complimentary wireless Internet access are a matter of course. The qualified staff takes distinctive and personal care of you during your stay.
