overnight transit at ZRH
I will have an overnight transit at ZRH after a long flight from BKK. The route is BKK-FRA (TG922) and continue to FRA-ZRH by LX1077. I will be arriving at ZRH at 20:45 and will continue my last lag to YUL by LX86 the following morning.
Can anyone give me some advice about my options in accomodation, maybe an affordable transit hotel for a few hours resting near or probably at the airport?
kind of silly question but does LX First class lounge open 24 hours?

LX FCL closes over night, thus, this is not an option. It would not even be an option if the lounge was open because there are no "sleeping rooms".
There is the Radisson Blu at the airport (landside), and a variety of airport hotels.
Another possibility is to rent a day room in the terminal.

Thank you Zurich Flyer, renting an overnight room at the airport looks like the best option in my case, very inexpensive <CHF100 and less of a hassle. However the website does not explain anywhere if any of those room have a private washroom...
do you or any of the flyertalk member have experience renting this room overnight and can share their experiences?
Thanks once again....

Excellent rooms, with a nice bed & sheets, as well as some nice chocolates.
Also there was an attached shower room.

The day rooms are what it says: DAY rooms.
You can not stay there overnight.
However there is a variety of good hotels in the airport vicinity, all of them operating shuttles ( Mövenpick Hotel f.i. ) or you walk over to the Radisson Blue. Google is your friend

20.45 is not at all late and the shuttle ride to the Moevenpick is no longer than 5 minutes. The hotel itself was fine, albeit a bit dated the last time I visited (the public areas).
The airport dayrooms are very spartan and do not have private bathrooms. They are fine as a last resort, but are mostly used by people stranded overnight unintentionally and without proper documentation to enter Schengen (they are now located in the B gates and not Schengen-A where they were before).

LX offers complementary overnight lay-over
you should contact your tkt sales agent or LX office where you bought your tkt.
In some cases (fares) LX may accomodate complimentary overnight hotel stay for passangers if there is not available connecting same day flight.
it is usllay in Movenpick or Radisson hotels

I will be flying AE Reward F, I will call LX ticketing center and inquire about this. I will report to the forum on the result.
