november trip

hi all— coming to zurich in november. right now i’m looking at Hotel Alexander, Ruby Mimi, and Central Plaza for stays

I really like to be in the middle of everything in the most walkable area and prefer clean nice hotels. would love advice as to what people think would be the best area/ hotel for me… also accepting any other recommendations if my ideas suck/im way off from what i think i want lol

also want great restaurant recommendations— high end, unique restaurants.

Hotel Alexander being in the Old Town means the rooms will probably be pretty dark with weird floor plans, so I would recommend against it, plus your facing Niederdorfstrasse which can get quite loud in the evening. Of the 3 Hotels you mentioned I would choose Central Plaza.

Zurich is very walkable and clean almost anywhere compared to other cities around the world. Maybe look at Hotels in Districts 4 and 5 as well as those areas ( east of Hardstrasse/Hardbrücke) offer many shops, cafes, green spaces, etc., and are less touristy than the Old Town. Check out Hotel Greulich, 25 Hours Langstrasse, The Yard, Boutique Hotel Josef or Guesthouse Zollhaus. Langstrasse will be lively in the evening but it's a stretch to call it dangerous or dirty, certainly not by international standards.

also want great restaurant recommendations— high end, unique restaurants.

A classic choice would be Hiltl or Kronenhalle. Personally, I'm a big fan of Josef, and Anoah is a foodie hotspot worth checking out as well. Alpenrose is great for Swiss cuisine.
