Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Signau House & Garden is a boutique bed-and-breakfast in a 1912 villa that has been beautifully modernized and furnished. The nine rooms overlook the villa’s garden, which is surprisingly large given its location only a few tram stops away from the city center.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Signau House & Garden in Zürich feels like a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet, classy villa neighborhood. The hotel is a beautifully restored 1912 villa with just nine charming rooms, each uniquely designed, giving off a cozy, private vibe.

The property’s real highlight, though, is its peaceful garden, full of colorful flowerbeds, old trees, and even a little pond with the rare Froebeli water lily.

It’s such a tranquil oasis, you could easily forget you’re in the middle of Zurich.

Inside, the hotel is just as inviting: there’s a cozy fireside lounge, a small cinema room, and different salons that make you feel like you’re staying in someone’s elegant but personal home.

Rooms are equipped with rain showers, parquet floors, and some even have private terraces overlooking the garden.

In the mornings, guests can enjoy a laid-back à la carte breakfast on the veranda or out in the garden (weather permitting), with local specialties like birchermüesli.

Add to that the 24/7 honesty bar, underground parking, and thoughtful touches like yoga mats and boules balls, and you’ve got a spot that’s both serene and stylish.

I will not go there again

I didn’t take breakfast. No staff at the Reception. There is no firmal receptionists. They go home. If neoI needed anything during night, I felt very uncomfortable to disturb the service staff as they have to respond, may be from their homes

Comfortable Hotel, with wonderful staff.

The boutique nature and location of the Hotel and garden. Honesty bar and wonderful staff.

There was a beam in my room above the bed and being tall I was worried about hitting. We moved the bed so that solved the issue.

Lovely boutique hotel in a beautiful area of Zurich.

The location was lovely, in a pretty area of Zurich. The house was charming and stylish and the room was very comfortable.

The rooms at this small boutique hotel are expensive, which you would expect. What I did not expect was that I would have to pay $10 AUD for a cup of tea or coffee which was not supplied in the room.

Nice place, but expensive (as is everything in Switzerland)

Signeau house is located in downtown Zurich, within walking distance to public transportation, the old town, water front etc. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The house is beautiful and well maintained.

After 8.30pm there are no staff in the house - they leave and go home. This was a problem as the night we stayed the internet went down and no one could help us restore connection. The absence of staff also made it feel like a student dorm, not a guest house. The rooms on the top level (level 3?) are very nice, but the one we stayed in had a concrete strut over the end of the bed which was below head height. As a consequence, my wife inadvertently walked into it and ended up with a nasty lump on her head where she hit it. This had obviously been a problem for other guests as they had attempted to stick silicone tape on the beam/strut. This could be a potentially dangerous problem for others if not rectified.

Pleasant

Very beautiful old house, the interior is stunning. I admire the beauty of this hotel. Convenient underground parking, friendly staff. Very good location to the city center.

Very bad noise insulation. I could hear every step of the other visitors and how people were talking downstairs at night. The room is quite cramped. Very small bed where it was difficult to accommodate two people. The selection for breakfast is pretty small, on the third day, there wasn't much to choose from.

If we were to go back to Zurich, this would be our #1 choice of a place to stay!

We were very pleased with this place. It is on a quiet street with the lake a ten to fifteen minute walk from the hotel. We also walked into the main town area of Zurich and appreciated even more that we were staying at the Signau property as Zurich was very crowded. The hotel suggested some restaurants that were maybe a five minute walk away. They were good and appeared to be filled with many more locals than tourists.

Everything was perfect- the kindness, hospitality, location, the gardens, the staff. One of our favorite memories of Zurich. An easy walk from the train station, but it felt like a quiet oasis from the city. Everyone went above and beyond and I want to go back to Zürich just so we can stay there again.

Our new home in Zurich for our upcoming stays

The hotel has been set-up in a unique charming house, with carefully selected decoration, surrounded with a beautiful garden. The staff is very forthcoming. The breakfast is better than average and served with love. The toiletry products are of excellent quality.

The honesty bar is slightly overpriced. Check-in times are limited, but the hosts organised for a smooth prepared arrival in their absence.

Very enjoyable stay, will seriously consider again to stop here on our next visit.

Stayed here as a base visiting our daughter who lives in Zurich. A beautiful house, well worth seeing. All the staff were polite, helpful and friendly . Nice breakfast, and added bonus of a garage underground, although at cost. 15 mins walk in Zurich ( Belle Vue ) but trams are running all day to use.
