Choosing where to stay is an important part of planning treatment in Zurich. The good news is that ELZA Zürich HB is in a very convenient location: directly in the Zurich main station area. That means many patients can stay within walking distance of the clinic, the train station, restaurants, pharmacies, and everyday services.
Staying in Zurich
For most international patients, the simplest approach is to choose accommodation in one of three areas: right by Zurich HB (main station) for maximum convenience, Zurich Old Town / City Center for a more atmospheric stay that is still close to ELZA, or a slightly wider central Zurich area if you want more hotel choice or a lower nightly rate.
Zurich Tourism’s official accommodation page highlights multiple stay options – see here.
For patients coming for consultations, diagnostics, surgery, or early follow-up, staying near Zurich HB is usually the most practical option. It reduces local travel time and makes it easier to return to the clinic if you need short follow-up visits on consecutive days. Zurich Tourism’s official “Hotels near Main Station” page specifically lists hotels within a short walk of the station, and ELZA’s Zurich HB address confirms that the institute is right in that same central station zone.
This is often the best choice if:
If you would like a stay that feels a little more like central Zurich, the Old Town / City Center area is also a strong option. It is still close to Zurich main station and offers a wider choice of boutique hotels, restaurants, and quieter streets, while remaining convenient for clinic visits. Booking’s Zurich Old Town / City Center hotel listings show this area as one of the main accommodation clusters for visitors staying centrally in Zurich.
This can be a good choice if:
Different stay styles
Below you will find a description of staying options in Zurich with an example average price per night (based on data from 2026).
Usually the easiest option for short medical stays, especially when early follow-up visits are scheduled on several consecutive days. Zurich Tourism’s official hotel page near the main station is the most useful starting point for this category.
Example average price: $425/€365/CHF335
A good option for patients who want more comfort, privacy, or a calmer environment while still remaining close to ELZA. Both Zurich Tourism and major booking platforms show many central options within short reach of the station.
Example average price: $820/€700/CHF650
This can work well if you are staying for more than a few days, traveling with family, or prefer more space and a kitchenette. Large aggregators such as Expedia and Hotels.com make these longer-stay options easier to filter by stay length and room type.
Example average price: $310/€270/CHF250
If price matters more than being right next to the clinic, central Zurich still has a broad hotel market, and Switzerland’s public transport makes nearby neighborhoods manageable. Expedia notes hundreds of hotel and accommodation options within about a mile of central station areas.
Example average price: $150/€125/CHF115
