That is the Westin Bonaventure. See Tripadvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g3...California.html If you decide on the Bonaventure I'd suggest doing a PRICELINE bid for four stars and $65 or so--you're pretty much guaranteed to land it, since it's the least expensive 4-star in downtown.

Hey, sorry I forgot to post the amenities. Apparently the only listed amenities were --Fitness Center --Business Center --High-speed internet access Again not sure how these amenities = four-star hotel, but guess I can't complain for $59/night in Zurich.

I tried PRICELINE, hoping to get a good deal for the day my friend and I arrive in Zurich, but bids of $105 for a four-star hotel in Central Zurich (or $57 for one in both Central Zurich and Glattbrugg) didn't turn anything up, so I couldn't pass on the $59 Hotwire option. Although the price is unbeatable and roughly a third of the rack rate, I'm still a bit disappointed that it's a Holiday Inn and not the Renaissance Glattbrugg--I think it takes real creativity to label a Holiday Inn a four-star hotel. Oh well, it has good ratings on Tripadvisor, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I tried $60 and 4/24-4/25 first, but staying on Thursday night ended up being cheaper. Guess they're not as busy during the week - you might start off at $55. Definitely worth the cost. My girlfriend and I go to Duke nearby, but even for locals paying for the hotel was worthwhile (if you're planning to see the nightlife) since it meant we could go to a concert at Local 506 and out for drinks afterward without worrying about how to get home. Not quite as nice as the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club, but there are cookies since it's managed by Doubletree! - Jared
