An apartment for the phase when two rooms are not enough
Visiting family in Zurich is a logistical question. Who is staying for three days, who for two weeks, who needs their own bathroom, who wakes up early? Hotels solve this with two rooms on the same corridor. Expensive, awkward, and after five days the shared breakfast buffet is the only thing that connects you.
The Studio Family at Stay Sunday Hornergasse 15 is built for this phase. Two rooms under one roof, a fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms. Bookable for one week, three weeks, or three months.
What sets this apartment apart
- Two sleeping areas — parents and children, or parents and grandparents, each with their own retreat.
- Two bathrooms — the morning question of who’s next disappears.
- Full kitchen — induction stove, oven, dishwasher, espresso machine. Anyone who cooks here cooks properly.
- Dining table for four — breakfast and dinner happen at home, not in a restaurant.
- Fast Wi-Fi, smart TV with streaming services, air conditioning.
- Self check-in around the clock — even at 11 PM, even after a delayed flight with tired children.
Worth knowing: Hornergasse 15 has no elevator. Anyone booking the Studio Family should expect two to three flights of stairs. With strollers and suitcases this is doable, but worth planning for.
When this apartment fits
The Studio Family is the room for a phase when more people are in the same place:
- Parents or in-laws visiting for a week or longer.
- Short or longer family trips with children, without the cramped feel of a hotel room.
- Renovation or relocation, when the family needs a transitional home together.
- Visiting relatives over Christmas, Easter, or the long summer holidays.
- Business travel where partner and children come along and want a stay rather than a trip.
For these situations, the combination of two sleeping areas, two bathrooms and a real kitchen is what separates a relaxed stay from a stressful trip.

Location — what’s in walking distance

Important for families: the tram network starts right at the Bahnhofstrasse, Lake Zurich is ten minutes away. Zurich Zoo, the Museum für Gestaltung and the Swiss National Museum are reachable by tram in twenty to thirty minutes. Zurich Airport is roughly eleven minutes by direct train from the main station.

Family time in Zurich does not need a hotel corridor
Anyone traveling with family knows the hotel logistics. One child is hungry, the other wants to sleep, the grandparents want a quiet coffee. In two hotel rooms on the same corridor, this is always a compromise.
In an apartment with two rooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen, that compromise disappears. You live together without living on top of each other. You have breakfast at your own table, cook in the evening, and the children have a retreat when the day was too much.
For families who want to experience Zurich rather than tick it off, this is the calmer form of stay.
