The Hotel Widder is a hotel and restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland. Established in 1995,[1] it is located on Rennweg, in Niederdorf, in the city's Altstadt district. The hotel's 49 rooms are spread across nine medieval townhouses,[2] the oldest of which dates to the 13th century.[3] Widder is German for ram, with the name being chosen for the hotel because one of the townhouses was the guildhouse for a master butcher.[4]
In 2003, when the hotel had its original eight townhouses and 42 rooms,[5][6] it was owned by Swiss bank UBS
