In Zurich, tradition is spelled with a capital T. So it comes as no surprise that a hotel has welcomed guests directly on the banks of the Limmat for 130 years. The rooms, most of which have a view of the river and the Old Town, are tastefully decorated in a modern style. By contrast, the steak-and-grill restaurant located in the old palace’s basement vaults transports you into a different world: Everything from the mirrored candlelight to the high-backed chairs makes you feel like you've landed at a royal banquet.
