Switzerland: hotel smoking policy
A traveler named Marvin is planning a trip to Switzerland and needs non-smoking hotel rooms due to allergies. He is unsure if he needs to specifically request these rooms or if they are generally available, as he couldn't find an option during the booking process.
- Many hotels in Switzerland prohibit smoking indoors, but may allow it outside on balconies.
- It's best to contact hotels directly to confirm their smoking policies before booking.
- Smoking indoors has been banned in Switzerland for over ten years, so most hotels will usually be smoke-free.

Hello,
We need non-smoking rooms in hotels while traveling in Switzerland as I allergic to smoke. As I am making reservations, I do not see an option to select non-smoking rooms. Is smoking banned in hotel rooms by law in Switzerland? Do I have to request nonsmoking rooms specifically during reservation? Thanks for your answers.

Hi Marvin—
From our experience last summer, many hotels in Switzerland do ban smoking in their rooms, while allowing it outside on balconies. I would contact the hotels you are interested in directly and ask about their policy.
Hello Mafcon,
Smoking indoors has been prohibited in Switzerland for over ten years. If the hotel is advertised as a smoke-free hotel, then smoking on the balcony is also not allowed.
Per EASW, it’s best to contact the hotel(s) you are interested in and confirm their smoking policies. Some hotels allow smoking outside in designated areas, for example on the outdoor terrace.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Yolanda
