They're building a huge new complex at Zurich airport:
http://www.thecircle.ch/en/ http://www.thecircle.ch/en/
which will not only include one, but two new Hyatt Hotels. Even though the complex is very much integrated into the airport I can't imagine that it will provide a secure area or direct access for cleared passangers.
Then again we'll see when it's done.
- saryant 11y agoI stayed at the Radisson Blu on the ZRH airport last year. Incredibly convenient for stupid-early flights and a 2 minute walk to the check-in area but I can't imagine staying there longer than one night. It was a nice hotel, sure, but why?
- CaptainZapp 11y agoFrom what I gather is that they want to really build something like a small city within the airport, which would be an attraction and people magnet in itself. Plus there are building convention facilities, which may or may not fill the hotels. A major problem that airport hotels will have in Zurich (including the Radisson Blu) is that the airport is a 10 minute train ride from the city center. Unless you have to be at the airport around 5am, or you are coming from a different city an airport hotel doesn't really make that much sense for ZRH. And even then a taxi from town will be significantly cheaper; even at Zurich taxi prices. That's quite different from CDG, or LHR which are relatively far from the city center (and relatively badly connected in the example of Paris), plus the fact that they are huge. So an airport hotel at those places certainly makes more sense.
