Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg
Zurich, Switzerland · Sorell · Near Luxury
In 1900 Susanna Orelli built Hotel Zürichberg halfway up the hill as an alcohol-free public house, and opened what the house calls Zurich's first self-service restaurant under the same roof. Sorell is her name, taken from the opening letters of Susanna Orelli. The Jugendstil building at Orellistrasse 21 still has 66 rooms, a Kursaal from that first year, and the timber oval Marianne Burkhalter and Christian Sumi added in 1995.

About Sorell Boutique-Hotel Zürichberg
- A second Kursaal followed around 1911. The hill house was built as a temperance room for locals and for people coming up from the city.
- Folding shutters close the 1995 timber wing, the piece the Zurich architecture guide still publishes, in photographs by Heinrich Helfenstein.
- The center is about ten minutes by tram. In winter the hotel puts a chalet service of raclette and fondue on the hill.
History
Susanna Orelli, a founder of the Zürcher Frauenverein, built Hotel Zürichberg in 1900 as an alcohol-free public house halfway up the Zürichberg, and with it what Sorell calls the city's first self-service restaurant. The first Kursaal dates from 1900, with an extension around 1911. The Sorell brand later took its name from her. In 1995 Marianne Burkhalter and Christian Sumi added an elliptical timber wing. The house now counts 66 rooms.
The setting
Orellistrasse 21, 8044 Zurich, on the Zürichberg above the roofs, with woods and apple trees around the house and the lake in the view. Bahnhofstrasse is a tram ride of about ten minutes. There was no neighborhood on the record; Zürichberg matches the address.
