Anyone who has stayed in Zurich’s old town knows the city’s particular logic of closeness: narrow lanes, old walls, buildings pressed together over centuries. That’s what makes the neighbourhood between Bahnhofstrasse and Löwenstrasse so distinctive — and it’s exactly why a private rooftop terrace is more than a bonus.
The Studio Rooftop Terrace at Stay Sunday, Hornergasse 15, is our largest studio type. It’s designed for those who want to live in Zurich for a while — not just visit — and for whom a piece of outdoor space matters just as much as a well-chosen bed.
What makes this apartment
Three things stand out the moment you open the door:
- The rooftop terrace — private, open to the sky, with a view across the old town rooftops. Table, chairs, space for a glass of wine or a quiet morning. In spring and summer, this outdoor space becomes the main living room.
- The fully equipped kitchen — induction hob, oven, dishwasher, espresso machine, filter coffee. Longer stays require the ability to cook. The kitchen here is designed as a workspace, not a kitchenette.
- The bed with a view — generous, high quality, with daylight from real old-town windows. Soundproofing keeps the city noise out.
Add to this: fast WiFi, Smart TV with streaming, private bathroom, air conditioning, and self check-in around the clock. Everything a longer stay needs — without the typical hotel service overhead.
When is this apartment the right fit?
The Studio Rooftop Terrace is not a room for a two-night business trip. It’s the apartment for those in a particular phase:
- A professional transition in Zurich, three to eight weeks, with your own routines
- Renovating your own flat — without ending up in a standard hotel
- Longer family visits that need a quiet retreat and somewhere to have breakfast
- Business travellers who want noticeably more than a standard room
- Couples who want to experience Zurich and have their own space while doing it
For all these situations, the combination of location, space and outdoor access is what makes the difference.

Location — what you can reach on foot
Hornergasse 15 sits at the heart of the old town — five minutes from Bahnhofstrasse, three minutes to Lindenhof, ten minutes to the main station. From the apartment, Paradeplatz, the Swiss National Museum, Fraumünster and Grossmünster are all walkable. For those who cook: local neighbourhood shops, the Bürkliplatz market and bakeries on every other corner.
Zurich Airport is about eleven minutes by train — the direct SBB connection from the main station makes even last-minute appointments in Zurich straightforward.
Good to know: the building has no lift. Anyone booking the Studio Rooftop Terrace should expect two to three flights of stairs.
