Zurich, Switzerland · Sorell · Near Luxury
Seidenhof is an older name than the hotel: silk yards of the Werdmüller family stood here from the seventeenth century, and Eduard Hess rebuilt Sihlstrasse 9 in 1910. Bruno and Ernst Witschi turned the City-Excelsior into Hotel Seidenhof for the Zürcher Frauenverein in 1943. Sorell reopened the house on 4 March 2022 with 78 rooms, interiors by Andrin Schweizer, and Restaurant Enja in the courtyard, a minute from Bahnhofstrasse.

History
The Seidenhof name comes from silk-working yards the Werdmüller family built on this ground in the seventeenth century. Eduard Hess erected the present houses at Sihlstrasse 3 and 9 in 1910 and 1911. In the early 1940s Bruno and Ernst Witschi converted number 9 from the City-Excelsior into Hotel Seidenhof for the Zürcher Frauenverein. After a rebuild of nearly two years, Sorell reopened it on 4 March 2022 with 78 rooms. Andrin Schweizer did the interiors. Grego Architektur did Restaurant Enja.
The setting
Sihlstrasse 9, 8001 Zurich, a minute from Bahnhofstrasse and the main station, in the City. The courtyard is the quiet side. Seefeld, which had been filed here, is across town by the lake.
