Hi guys,
Thinking of doing a Friday-Sunday trip over to Zurich mid September (not been for 25 years).
Any ideas of the in-or-near-to the airport hotels ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated - checked board "search" but nothing found.
Thanks
Alan

Hi Alan
I've normally stayed at the Park Inn which is on the road close to the lane that runs down to the Heli Grill viewing location.
Not got the web link but it's the only Park Inn in the vicinity.
HTH,
GC

The Park Inn www.parkinn.com is a nice hotel although it is fair distance from the terminal. They do have a shuttle service but I don't think it is free It also has a 'McDonalds' on site. I would also recommend the Welcome Inn www.hotel-welcomeinn.ch and the Fly Away Hotel www.flyaway.ch in nearby Kloten village. They are within reasonable walking distance (Welcome Inn has a shuttle bus) and are close to all amenities including a station which will take you into town. A great airport to spend a weekend at ! |

I believe the main terrace is closed until next year due to construction. They have a terrace on Dock E but I've no idea what it's like for photo's.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I've booked the flight - 10th to 12th and will check out the hotel websites when I get back from this weekend's jaunt to Heathrow and Sywell.

In Silverback,s photo of the 340 you will see where the spotters are that the fence has purpose made holes cut into it to fit the lens of your camera. Wouldn't it be a good idea if all airports took that on board. Regards Beemer.

That was in 2009 this was Jan 2010. Not all days are like this but just to give a contrast. Will I go again to the Davos weekend again.......you bet !!    used the Welcome Inn last two years, but there is now a Holiday Inn Express on the other side of the airport. Regards Dave |
