An impressive edifice that was completed in 2011 at which time it was the highest build in the country. This remained the case for 4 years until the completion of Roche Tower in Basel.
Located on a former industrial facility it is one of the few high rises to be seen in the city.

It gives you such a different view and understanding of the City of Zurich once you saw it from above and won an overview of what is located where. That applies to visitors (business and or tourists) but also to locals who want to gain a better understanding from a birds perspective on what is where in the biggest city and financial capital of Switzerland.
Find the entrance to 'Clouds' and take the lift up. Upstairs you will find 4 different outlets where you can have just a drink and or snack or a romantic dinner with a view. Enjoy the view of Zurich at night!

So its a big business building. At the top of the primetower it has a very fine restaurant/bar. But its veeeeeryyyy expensive. The building at all looks nice but it has a point waidspital where you can see the whole city much more beautiful that standing in front of it.

We booked our easter brunch at bristol last year for 5 people.
When we got there, one waitress placed us on a big table with sofa in the middle of restaurant. Everything went smoothly. An hour later, while we were having our desserts, the restaurant supervisor or manager came to us and asked us to move to other table because this table has been booked by someone else and it thier mistakes to place us there! No places on earth would ask their customers who still have foods in their mouths to leave the table just so they can give that table to some privileges people!! At that moment the Bristol was quit empty, there are many empty tables around, but those group of people only want our table. So i said let us finish our desserts then we will go. Still 10 mins later the same person came and asked us to move now! I paid the bill right away and left even we still have some foods left. This is such a terribly horrible services i have ever experienced in my life! I later on wrote an email to the management, she replied me like sorry for my inconvenience but she would do the same!! So i guess it is their style to make their customers feel this way. My suggestion: go somewhere else, their many more nice restaurants with view in zurich and it worth your money more than here

The panorama is amazing but the price is really too high for what you eat. The food is nothing special.

You take Tram 4 to Schffbau and step out from under the freeway. This is the only tall tower here, with dark glass. Entrance to Cloud is on the back side. The is fantastic and the food and drinks are a bit pricey. Worth a visit if you have just 15 minutes from Zurich HB to get here.

Zurich is not well known for skyscrapers, so the tallest building in the Swiss city is unsurprisingly unimpressive. There is no reason to come and visit.

I had a sandwich at the top cafe, it was great and a big portion that I could not finish it. The view is awesome.

After all the years an hear say about the Prime Tower a group of friends met up here for an early drink in the brasserie. The view of Zurich is stunning, service was OK. Booking ahead is recommended, but it can only be done 1 week prior to selected date.

The top floor is occupied by a company named as "Clouds". They have a Bar, Bistro and a restaurant on 35th floor. The top floor is closed (surrounded by glass) you can view outside. For a quick view Clouds will allow you. But if you want to enjoy drinks, something to eat than you have to buy. We were in the Bistro where we bought a cranberry juice for 6 CHF and a Hot chocolate for same price. The train station name is "Hardbrucke".
