It is not known exactly how the hotel got its name «Zum Storchen». Legend has it that the name was adopted after a pair of rare black storks nested on its roof. In 1357 the «Hus zum Storchen» was mentioned in the tax records for the city of Zürich for the first time and just over 100 years later, it was specifically described as an inn. Whether you are traveling alone, with your partner or with the whole family, the Hotel Storchen awaits you with 64 newly designed rooms and suites with a unique view over the Limmat or the picturesque old town of Zurich. All our rooms have one thing in common: the modern ambience with warm colors and numerous stylish details as well as the technical equipment that play together to offer you a wonderful home away from home.
