About this route

Route overview

The shortest ZRH route still needs careful handling because central Zurich has pedestrian streets, narrow hotel forecourts and heavy movement around Paradeplatz. For Baur au Lac, Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Storchen, Widder and Altstadt hotels we confirm the practical stopping point before arrival. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, meets you in arrivals with a name board and drives door to door; the vehicle is assigned as a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, S-Class or V-Class according to passengers and luggage.

Best for

Most common use cases

  • Guests continuing to Zurich city centre immediately after landing in Zurich
