Zurich is small, expensive and excellently organised, and an evening here can be planned entirely on foot. Kreis 1 for a quiet start, Kreis 4 and 5 when it gets later. This city's hotel bars are among the best in Europe and are simultaneously the most discreet places to meet for the first time.
Hotels that do not make it awkward
The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Zurich is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.
- Widder Hotel Kreis 1
- Baur au Lac Kreis 1
- 25hours Hotel Zürich West Kreis 5
- Storchen Zürich Kreis 1
Bars for the first drink
Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

- Kronenhalle Bar Kreis 1

The areas, honestly
Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Zurich they are not always the same place.
- Langstrasse Kreis 4
- Kreis 1 Altstadt
- Zürich West Kreis 5
- Altstetten Kreis 9
Three things that cost nothing
- Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
- Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
- Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
