Apartments Swiss Star<br />
Value-Added Serviced Apartments<br />
That Make Guests Feel at Home<br />
Apartments Swiss Star offers 420 serviced apartments<br />
in and around Zurich which provide, both business and<br />
leisure travellers, a home away from home in <strong>Switzerland</strong>.<br />
Swiss Star, founded in 2004 in Kloten, has already<br />
earned a strong reputation for its winning combination<br />
of attractively furnished, well-equipped apartments, fair<br />
rental rates and high-quality housekeeping services. Swiss<br />
Star’s apartments are a very desirable alternative to hotels<br />
for short or long stays in the Zurich area. Ranked number<br />
one in Zurich, Swiss Star focuses on offering tastefully<br />
furnished apartments at fair rates.<br />
From studios to three-bedroom units<br />
Each Swiss Star apartment is elegantly furnished and<br />
features a fully equipped kitchen with a glass and<br />
ceramic topped cooker, a dishwasher, a combination<br />
convection and microwave oven, a refrigerator, and<br />
all necessary utensils and dishes. Each apartment<br />
also has a well-appointed bathroom and comfortable<br />
beds. Weekly cleaning with a change of towels and<br />
bed linens, along with parking facilities on request,<br />
are also part of the package. Wireless LAN with 24<br />
hour Internet access is standard service in every Swiss<br />
Star apartment as well as television and a DVD player.<br />
Private telephone lines are available on enquiry. Additional<br />
beds, including children’s beds, are available for<br />
an extra charge, and guests can bring their pets under<br />
certain conditions. Daily rates are offered up to 29 days<br />
and discounted monthly rates are especially calculated<br />
for a longer stay.<br />
Swiss Star provides a number of options, since its apartments<br />
range from studios to three-bedroom units.<br />
Albert Blättler, CEO, explains, “<strong>The</strong> serviced apartment<br />
concept was not well known here in Zurich when I started<br />
the company. Most visitors just stayed in hotels. But I<br />
realised that many people, especially those coming here<br />
for a longer time, might prefer a furnished apartment<br />
where they could feel more at home.”<br />
Thanks to Swiss Star’s excellent facilities and services as<br />
well as its attractive prices and added-value extras, the<br />
business was an immediate success in Kloten and Albert<br />
Blättler soon expanded to Oerlikon and downtown<br />
Zurich. Now Apartments Swiss Star offers apartments<br />
throughout metropolitan Zurich, with two townhouse<br />
complexes in Aussersihl, a complex in the coveted Wallisellan<br />
district, a location near Zurich’s trade fair centre<br />
in Oerlikon with panoramic views, a townhouse complex<br />
in downtown Oerlikon, a quiet yet central location in<br />
Niederdorf, a complex in Kloten with easy access to<br />
the international airport, a facility in Oberstrass near<br />
Zurichberg and a complex in Irchel near the University<br />
of Zurich, and two quiet locations in the exclusive<br />
Wiedikon neighbourhood.<br />
