Built in 1543, this hotel in the centre of Zug accommodated famous guests like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, yet it offers modern amenities like free internet and air-conditioning.
The City-Hotel Ochsen is situated in the middle of the beautiful historic centre, 200 metres from the Zug Postplatz Train Station and from Lake Zug.
All rooms are air-conditioned and have an en-suite bathroom, a cable TV and a water kettle.
Fine Swiss and international cuisine is served in the Hotel Ochsen's restaurant and in the bar you can enjoy aromatic coffee or a cool glass of beer.
