Sheraton Zurich Hotel Review is part of the #NoCollusion, No Albania for TPOL where I break my 100 country count mark. See the World Map for where I’ve been.
Getting There: It cost $28 via Uber to go from the airport.
I ask myself who would pay $300 a night to stay at a basic Sheraton? Then I ask myself who can pay $300 a night to stay at a basic Sheraton? The answer to both must be corporate travelers. If someone has enough disposable income to blow $300 on a marginal hotel, that person should splurge a few hundred more to stay at a luxury hotel. Alternatively, if someone is breaking the budget to stay at a Sheraton, he/she should step down to an accommodation slightly better than a hostel (see Frontier Hotel Darwin: My Case for Hostels).
This brings me to my time in Zurich, a city that is far from cheap and not nice enough to justify the price tag (see Don’t Date in Switzerland!). My first night there, I stayed at the Sheraton Zurich and was happy that points covered my stay.
Location
The hotel is not in the city center. Taking the tram is the affordable option to get there. In the evening, I returned to the hotel with Uber.
Room
The room was a typical Sheraton room. I would have liked to have stayed at a ‘budget hotel’ that goes for $150 a night to see the difference.
Bathroom
View
This was my first time in Switzerland. Based on movies and folklore, I thought the city would be lined with gold. That must be in a different part of town. This area looked like Long Island City with a mountain as the backdrop.
Amenities
One thing that basic hotels do not offer is free fancy water and espresso.
Breakfast
And of course, a perk of having status is free breakfast in the lounge.
Overall
This #NoCollusion, No Albania for TPOL trip took place over a matter of weeks. It would have been cost-prohibitive to pay for a hotel every night regardless if the rate was $100 or $300. Points, once again, made my adventure possible and comfortable.

So pedestrian. Should have stay at the Park Hyatt. That is an awesome hotel!
Wait till you see the hotel I stayed at for night two. May be the best ever! I mean ever! PH was a waste of points
PH Zurich is an awesome hotel, for Globalists. It is our go-to in Zurich.
For globalists, lol. How’s that working out for you today?
I know you get a lot of trolls/ haters etc. I hate to add to that but your “no collusion” humorous term is outdated at best.
Also the term kind of normalizes your moronic half witted dumbF of a President. Like it doesn’t matter and it’s ok to do what he does and screams out to the world.
Americans… all of you. All of you should be ashamed of what you elected and allow on a daily basis.
Truly a sh*tshow of a country.
Ah but you have to understand that this trip took place two years ago and I’m just now writing it up. So shame on me for taking too long to finish it.
I agree. I am ashamed. See my post from yesterday. https://thepointsoflife.boardingarea.com/do-i-stay-or-do-i-go-thoughts-on-the-second-wave/
Globalist is great. We’re just on pause for a year (I hope). Hopefully God will lift the curse on mankind once Hitler II is voted out of office.
Yes I had it for years. I’ll take discoverist if I can travel again
