Wonderful 40th birthday party at the lake
We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday at the private beach of the Sonne Hotel and it was a great experience. The venue is simple and beautiful with a gorgeous view the service was attentive, with a hostess dedicated to serve snacks and drinks for the whole party. Our guests were delighted. We want to thank Karin, Stephanie, Djenifer and all the team for organizing and delivering such a good event. Thank you!

Ottima esperienza. Room più dedicata alla coppia che a una famiglia.
Abbiamo trovato la camera accogliente, pulita e completa. Anche molto apprezzato il benvenuto ai bambini con caramelle e papere di plastica. La stanza è completa di ogni dettaglio. L'unico appunto (non risolvibile) è che manca totalmente la privacy. La stanza dedicata al bagno e alla cura della persona e, soprattutto, la toilette, non hanno pareti. Tutto in vetro e senza pareti a tutta altezza, anche i rumori non vengono attutiti. Ottima la colazione, non particolarmente assortita, ma di qualità. Cordiali saluti

Always Pleased and Comfortable
We have stayed at Die Sonne for many years. We love the location on the lake and are always very comfortable. The entire Team are always professional and courteous. The breakfast is very nice with excellent service. And we thoroughly enjoyed the food in the Stube.

Overall fantastic, bath room needs attention
We are regular guests at Sonne, both for personal and business reasons. We always love to come back, thanks to the very friendly and professional staff, the nice breakfast, the beautiful location and the great rooms (especially the ones with lake view). Also, there is a small but very nice wellness and separate sports area. However, this time we are a bit more critical as the mattrasses felt too soft, the ventilation fan in the bathroom was very noisy (easy fix?) and the hot water was very unstable going from cold to very hot to warm etc. Also, the shower is still located in the bath tub which feels ancient and unsafe without a grip/handle. All in all a pleasure to be staying here, but a bit of homework to make it top notch again.

Very nice.
The mattresses were not comfortable. They sagged in the middle and were not up to par for the amount I paid for the room.

Un bel albergo in una bellissima posizione
L’edificio dell’albergo è molto affascinante e la posizione sul Lago di Zurigo è magnifica. La bella camera non aveva accesso con ascensore e il riscaldamento era troppo caldo con nessun modo di abbassarlo

Very good. We enjoy our room in the Seehaus, the Stube dinner was excellent.,The breakfast team are very nice and attentive.
Mark at reception was very welcoming to us., The bar does not appear open or staffed very often. Our only complaint really is noise from the parking lot and the ship landing area . Particularly at night and if we have windows open.

Piacevolissima sosta
Tornare al Sonne Hotel è come tornare a casa. Per noi non era la prima volta, ma l'abbiamo scelto senza renderci conto che era un albergo che avevamo già frequentato. Ed è stata una bellissima sorpresa. Il garbo, la gentilezza, l'atmosfera sono quasi magiche.

40 stylish rooms, most with a lake view, an elegant wellness oasis, private sunbathing lawn, two delightful restaurants and four stylish banqueting rooms: situated directly on Lake Zurich, just ten minutes from the city centre, the Seehotel in Küsnacht has been spreading romantic magic since 1641. State-of-the-art comfort and a wonderful atmosphere: 80 works of art by world-famous artists such as Andy Warhol, Mario Comensoli or Julian Schnabel adorn the unique hotel.

Romantik Seehotel Sonne Hoteldirektor - Harald Raab

Your Host

The "Wirtschaft zur Sonne" first appeared in documents in 1641. Today, the Romantik Seehotel Sonne is run by Harald Raab with outstanding expertise and gastronomic passion. "Living history" is the hotel's motto, as time-honored traditions are lovingly upheld here, while the management team always keeps its finger on the pulse of the times.

Finest culinary delights

Restaurant Sonnengalerie
Restaurant Sonnengalerie

The Sonnengalerie restaurant with its elegant and harmonious atmosphere is one of the top addresses for pampered palates in Küsnacht. You can expect first-class, regional products, lots of ProSpecieRara vegetables and high culinary skills.

Winterzauber
Winter magic

The charming beer garden is transformed into an atmospheric winter world year after year: Here you can enjoy the view of the wintry Lake Zurich in a fantastically illuminated winter location from 19 November 2022 to 15 January 2023. Whether it's a cosy aperitif by the warming fire bowl or enjoying the culinary variety, the focus here is on relaxation and enjoyment.

Sonne Gaststuben
Sonne Gaststuben

In our cosy, centuries-old restaurant, we serve you the best of both worlds. On the one hand, we serve Swiss specialities such as veal sausage in the old style or the classic "Züri Gschnetzlets". On the other hand, you can expect internationally inspired, modern dishes. These are characterised by first-class regional products and lots of ProSpecieRara vegetables.

Sonne am See
Sonne am See

Heiko Nieder, Culinary Director of The Dolder Grand, has designed a new food concept for the popular beer garden of the Romantik Seehotel Sonne in Küsnacht. From this season onwards, the new menu will only include dishes that the chef, who has been awarded 2 Michelin stars and 19 Gault Millau points, cooks himself for his family and friends and enjoys eating. 

Our responsibility

Romantik Seehotel Sonne
Efficient

We have been participating in an energy-saving programme for three years now and were certified for it by the Energy Agency for Industry in 2021. This has enabled us to effectively reduce our energy consumption. In addition, sustainability is firmly anchored in our historic hotel: within the historic walls, we take care of our furniture and prefer to repair it instead of buying new. In order to continue to think ahead for the future and to constantly improve, we participate in a coaching programme of the Hotellerie Suisse.

Frühstücksbuffet - Romantik Seehotel Sonne
Regional and local

We attach great importance to regionality and local cultivation. That's why we buy most of our food close to the region. Delicious whitefish fillets and pike directly from the Lake Zurich fisherman, fresh bread from the village baker in Küsnacht, honey from Küsnacht or Switzerland, eggs from happy chickens from the organic farm and milk products from Natürli from the Zurich Oberland. We also focus on the Lake Zurich region, Switzerland and Europe for our wines and avoid wines from overseas. In our Sonne am See beer garden, we sell sustainably grown coffee that we buy directly from the producer, who in turn supports charitable projects and local schools.

Around the hotel

Romantik Seehotel Sonne
Relaxing

Natural materials, soft light effects and contemporary design make the wellness oasis at the Seehotel Sonne a true gem. Not least because of the private sunbathing lawn directly on Lake Zurich, which no relaxation room, no matter how extravagant, can compete with. The wonderful lake air refreshes you at its finest, while the expansive views over the waves soothe your soul. Relaxing here is child's play.

Follow the signs to Zürich City, exit Zürich City, then follow the signs to the lake and Rapperswil. From Bellevueplatz you will see Lake Zurich on your right. Follow the road along the lake to Küsnacht. The Romantik Seehotel is located in the centre of town, turn right at the second traffic light. You can park your car in front of the house for CHF 15 per night.

The most beautiful way to reach the Romantik Seehotel Sonne is by boat. For example, you can travel from Zurich Bürkliplatz and get off at the Küsnacht station directly in front of the hotel.

Treat yourself to something special - you'll never forget a spin on the water taxi from Küsnacht to Zurich-Bürkliplatz. Or how about a romantic trip on the lake, perhaps after your wedding? Or would you prefer an excursion with the children? The water taxi pulls in!

From Zurich, take the S6 or S16 in the direction of Uetikon or Meilen. Get off at the "Küsnacht" stop (one to Küsnacht-Goldbach) and reach the hotel in two minutes on foot.

The S16 leaves every half hour and takes you from the airport to Küsnacht within 25 minutes. From the train station you can reach the hotel in two minutes on foot. A taxi from the airport costs approx. CHF 90 - depending on traffic.
