Hotels near Uetliberg, Zurich

Location, breakfast, staff services ... everything was smooth and well-prepared

I feel compelled to share my transformative experience at Five Hotel, where Manager Amindra Mahakumara has redefined luxury hospitality. The property's physical beauty is matched only by the extraordinary service culture Mr. Mahakumara has masterfully cultivated. From our arrival, it was clear that his leadership philosophy centers on proactive guest care. Mr. Mahakumara's personal touch was evident throughout - from his daily rounds delivering room service to his genuine interest in ensuring guests' comfort, both within the hotel and during their time in Zurich. As someone who leads my own organization, I found his management style both inspiring and educational. The coordination between departments was flawless, reflecting Mr. Mahakumara's exceptional training protocols. His team, from front desk to housekeeping, maintained immaculate standards with remarkable consistency. Their ability to anticipate rather than merely react to guest needs demonstrated the superior service culture he has established. A particular incident stands out: when a fellow guest accidentally left their iPad before a same-day flight, Mr. Mahakumara personally arranged international shipping to America. This level of attentive problem-solving exemplifies his commitment to guest satisfaction. Having experienced luxury hotels worldwide, the environment Mr. Mahakumara has created is truly distinctive. He achieves the perfect balance of five-star service while maintaining an atmosphere of genuine warmth. His leadership sets new standards in the industry, and we look forward to returning specifically because of the exceptional experience his management enables.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Between him and Simon (receptionist) handing off everything to each other, the stay was perfection.

Amazing joined Luxe Suite rooms facing the pool. Super clean, comfortable and close to all the amenities. And the food. We tried Chinese at The Maiden and Japanese at the Penthouse and while it’s a bit pricy, it’s worth every penny (especially if you compare what one pays in good Swiss restaurants).

The room was spacious enough for my family to sleep well (2 adults + 2 children below 12 years old)

It was a pleasure to return to this hotel: perfectly situated just steps from both tram and train stations, renovated, clean rooms and a warm, inviting lobby staffed by genuinely friendly people. The highlight is undoubtedly the generous breakfast buffet—served until 1 PM on Sundays—offering hot dishes, pastries, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, juices etc.

Everything! The staff were very polite. The room was very clean and comfortable. And the location was fantastic!
