Hotel UTO KULM car-free hideaway in Zurich

Am amazing hotel worth the extra price for the experience . Approach is via train from Zurich then quite a steep walk up but we were quite aware of this when booking . The day we arrived was very clear the views over Zurich and the lake are amazing . We climbed to top of the look out tower- well worth the effort for the outstanding 360 degree views . We sat in the well lit terrace with fire pits to enjoy a mulled wine - quite an experience . We did eat in the restaurant , a lovely cheese fondue we expected this to be expensive given the location but was far more pricey than we anticipated .our room was on the third floor with views over Zurich but unfortunately even though not a weekend there was a private party with loud banging music . Not the peaceful location we expected or was advertised . We did contact reception and were offered another room but at 10.30 pm we didn’t want to repack . We would appreciated being informed on arrival of this party and given the choice of a different room at that stage . The staff we spoke to just informed us that they have several private functions and seminars booked especially at this time of year and the music ended the same time restaurant closed but the restaurant was well away from our room and I doubt they had loud music / shouting etc in there . |This was the last night of our short break and booking this hotel was one of the highlights . We have good memories but unfortunately marred by the unexpected noise which detracted from the anticipated quiet scenic location

We recently stayed at Hotel Uto Kulm for a weekend, drawn by its breathtaking views and wellness facilities. Perched atop Uetliberg, the hotel offers stunning panoramic vistas of Zurich, especially beautiful in winter with its snow-covered landscape and festive decorations. Our wellness experience was mixed. Although we booked sauna slots 1.5 weeks in advance, we could only secure a 4 PM slot on Saturday due to high demand. While we enjoyed complimentary apples and water upon arrival, our second sauna booking at 10 AM was disappointing. The sauna was still cold when we arrived at 10:20, preventing us from enjoying our wellness time. Overall, our stay was enjoyable, thanks to the spectacular views and cozy ambiance. However, the wellness experience fell short due to limited sauna availability and temperature issues. With improvements to these facilities, Hotel Uto Kulm could elevate its guest experience significantly.

We were not even guests of the hotel, but only walked up to look at the view. Our elderly guest didn't feel safe walking back, down to the trainstation in the snow and was afraid of falling. The very friendly and helpful reception offered us to drive him down to the trainstation in the shuttle bus, we did not even have to wait and could leave immediately . We are very thankful for that service, especially to the nice woman at the reception and the friendly driver of the shuttle, many thanks!

An absolute gem of hotel located overlooking Zurich. Couldn't highly recommend enough. A cozy retreat with great rooms, excellent service and a surprisingly good restaurant/breakfast. The views alone are worth the price of admission.

Rooms were very old, staff was not helpfull. Car that takes luggages makes their own decision who to take to car and who not to. There was very small sauna which was not cleaned after usage and was not working half time. Only good thing is the view and for that you dont need to pay the hotel, you can come with train, see and leave

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. They advertised having parking, but the reality was far from what was promised. The parking lot is an hour away from the hotel. After parking, you have to walk 10 minutes to the train station, take a train (which costs extra), travel for two stops, and then walk another 10 minutes uphill to finally reach the hotel. This is absolutely misleading and feels like a scam. If you're just visiting as a tourist for a few days, I would strongly recommend avoiding this place

We stayed at the tower suite and it was amazing! View was breathtaking and the down light constellation dazzling to the eyes. Fireplace added to the lovely ambience.

The hotel is nice but don't expect a quiet night at the top of Zurich. There is a great spa and restaurant to enjoy as well.||There was a huge party on our second night and there is no air conditioner. We had to choose between loud music or a stuffy, hot room.
