Some rooms and packages even offer a butler service.
The Lionesses will be training daily at Sportanlage Au, a sports complex in the nearby municipality of Opfikon around 10km away.
FA Chiefs believe that both venues will offer England players the "best environment to maximise their full potential" at the tournament.
A decision was made on the hotel and training complex following a year-long search which saw staff members visit 23 hotels and 24 pitches.

They also seek for a hotel with 'logical flow', meaning players and staff members can get from A to B as efficiently as possible.
Finally, a place with plenty of outdoor space is always prioritised.
On the choice of hotel and training base, Anja van Ginhoven, the senior team general manager of England women, said: "About a year ago, for the first time, I stepped into the door of the Dolder and we could just feel the excitement of the hotel staff.
"One of the first things they said to us – similar to The Lensbury for the last EURO and in Terrigal for the World Cup – they said: 'we want to be part of this.'
"We also took Sarina out there and a couple of other members of staff – we thought we had found a hotel that ticks all of the boxes that we want. It's a beautiful place.
"We feel super welcome and very supported. All they want to do is give us a great home away from home in the summer."

Ireland legend ‘most important' period of upcoming World Cup qualifiers and backs Hallgrimsson to reach ‘ultimate aim'
He singled out one current star as being particular vital to their hopes KEVIN KILBANE was part of the last Ireland men's team to play at a World Cup - and believes the current crop can end the wait. Kilbane and the class of 2002 qualified for that summer's competition after a campaign that saw them go unbeaten against Portugal and the Netherlands and famously beating the latter. 3 Kevin Kilbane was part of the last Ireland team to play at a World Cup, in 2002 Credit: David Maher/Sportsfile 3 He believes Heimir Hallgrimsson's current team has what it takes to qualify for the 2026 World Cup Credit: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile Advertisement While the build-up to the tournament was dominated by Roy Keane's infamous bust-up with manager Mick McCarthy that led to the captain being sent home, Ireland acquainted themselves well. Draws with Cameroon and Germany was followed by a win over Saudi Arabia that sent the Boys in Green to the last-16. They would be eliminated by Spain on penalties in that round, with Kilbane among those to come up short with their spotkicks, But the former Sunderland and Everton star still looks back on that World Cup with fond memories. Advertisement He recalled to Netbet Irish Casino: "It was a dream play in the World Cup and to achieve this feat was something I'll never forget. "It is the ultimate aim for any player to play for their country in the World Cup and after watching the Irish team in Italy 90 and USA 94, I wanted to feel what it meant to be part of the World Cup squad. "To play in the opening game was something really special, to be part of team that lined up in an Irish shirt meant everything and I will never forget that moment and the tournament as a whole. "The preparation and build up and then arriving at our base to get set for the tournament. Advertisement "Everyone was super excited for the opening game and especially myself as it was the first World Cup that I played in." It would be another ten years before Ireland would get to another major competition, when Giovanni Trapattoni got them to Euro 2012. 'No private plane waiting for me' - Roy Keane rubbishes Gary Neville's England complaints with brutal Saipan putdown It was an experience to forget as they lost all three games in comprehensive fashion. Four years later, however, more and better memories were made when Martin O'Neill's men qualified for Euro 2016. A draw with Sweden and defeat to Belgium left them needing a win over Italy to qualify for the knock-out stages. Advertisement Enter Robbie Brady, whose unforgettable late header in Lille set up a clash with host nation France which they would eventually lose despite Brady putting them in front from the penalty spot. That was Ireland's last involvement at a major tournament to-date. Next summer's World Cup in the USA will mark ten years since Euro 2016, and 24 years since Saipan. Heimir Hallgrimsson's men open their qualifying account at home to Hungary on September 6. Subsequent games home and away to Portugal and Armenia will follow before rounding out away to Hungary on November 16. Advertisement And Kilbane believes there are enough green shoots to offer promise that Ireland could book a place at a World Cup for the first time in almost a quarter of a century. 'OPTIMISTIC' He said: "I am optimistic and it's so important that Ireland get off to a good start. "I would say the opening two games are really important to win both or minimum get 4 points. "The manager impresses me and he is very confident that Ireland can start well. "I am pleased Troy Parrott is performing well [at AZ Alkmaar] and this is great he is in good form. Josh Cullen is a quality midfielder and now back in the Premier League. Advertisement "We have Evan Ferguson heading to Italy and I hope his game time can gain him confidence to help Ireland. "The Championship is so competitive and we have some good players in that league, so I really hope we can get off to a big start and then momentum can build. "We have quality over the pitch. It's a team effort for sure. I know we want more players in the Premier League in England, but this will happen, but maybe not anytime soon. "As long as our top players stay fit and healthy we have a chance for sure. "I also want to heap praise on Troy Parrott who I believe can be a hugely influential player for Ireland in this World Cup campaign. Advertisement "I believe he has the talent to score plenty and it's important he can get chances in these two opening game. "I wouldn't say we need him to perform, but I hope he is given the chances to convert as he is in great form and can bring this to international football." 3 Evan Ferguson has joined Roma on loan Credit: Getty Several Ireland players were on the move in the most recent transfer window. Caoimhin Kelleher looks set to nail down the No1 jersey after signing for Brentford who are managed by ex-Ireland midfielder Keith Andrews and captained by Nathan Collins. Advertisement Evan Ferguson, meanwhile, is looking to rediscover his best form on loan at AS Roma, with a potential Serie A debut against Bologna on Saturday. Kilbane believes the Meath man can do just that, and cited the example of Scott McTominay's influence on Napoli winning the Scudetto last season. He added: "I know he has a lot of talent and we all know strikers work on confidence. "I hope Evan can get up and running quickly and score goals. He has the ability to do so. "I think the league can benefit him and his style of play. I hope he settles well in Rome and then performs well. Advertisement "Should this happen, then it can only benefit Ireland as he comes into the team full of confidence and then he can be sure that the rest of the team will supply him with chances. "Moving abroad can work for some players and we have seen McTominay for Napoli doing so well, so I am sure Evan can use his strength and forward play to score plenty of goals and make a name for himself as the fans there will then be right on his side."

Ombudsman eventually sweeps to York glory after another 150-1 pacemaker threatens upset
The saying is pace makes the race and if the 150-1 pacemaker Birr Castle threatened to turn Wednesday's Juddmonte International into a farce he ultimately set it up perfectly for Ombudsman to stamp his authority in York. For much of the race, though, it looked like turning into a repeat of last month's Sussex Stakes when another 150-1 pacemaker, Qirat, held out for an unlikely victory as the big guns behind him involved themselves in a tactical morass. Birr Castle was sent from France by Andre Fabre to cut out the pace for Godolphin's 7-4 favourite Ombudsman and try to avoid the muddling tempo blamed for the latter's defeat by Aidan O'Brien's Delacroix in Sandown's Eclipse. Rab Havlin did his job to the letter and cut out even fractions on Birr Castle. But the five other big guns, led by Japan's Danon Decile, opted to sit off him, concentrating on each other rather than the leader. At halfway Birr Castle was clear. On the turn in he had a lead of up to 30 lengths. READ MORE 'I thought two furlongs out Andre had won the race!' admitted Ombudsman's relieved joint-trainer John Gosden. Beforehand Fabre had joked to the Englishman about wanting another Qirat result. But it was a gag that threatened to get very close to the bone. Gosden's Field Of Gold was the biggest gun of all in the Sussex, but this time Ombudsman eventually came through to pick off Birr Castle, William Buick getting all the plaudits for judgment that winning riders usually get. Godolphin's sixth winner of the prestigious race ultimately reversed Sandown form with Delacroix by three-and-a-half lengths. Birr Castle plugged on for an unlikely third with See The Fire beating Danon Decile for fourth. If the 'right' horse won according to the market it still made for an unsatisfactory spectacle for such a major race. It also underlined once again that for all that pacemakers supposedly ensure an even gallop for everyone, they can come with a level of peril too. 'It was just a sprint, just a mess, really,' said O'Brien, someone usually keener than most to use pacemakers, although reliant solely on Delacroix this time. Buick, for his part, adopted a 'never in doubt' position, although the race hardly unfolded predictably. Rossa Ryan riding Pride Of Arras (right) to win the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. Photograph:'A lot of things were going through my mind. I didn't expect Danon Decile to take back, I thought he wanted to chase the pace. Rab did his job beautifully and his horse finished third. 'This horse put in an amazing performance – unbelievable – so I'm delighted with him. He's a very, very special horse and he showed all his attributes today,' he said. Next month's Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown is Ombudsman's likely next port of call where complicated pace scenarios are hardly unknown either. 'What happened was the Japanese jockey was with Rab but then he kept taking back and let Rab slip the field. Past the two marker, he was still six lengths in front. William said when he let him go, he absolutely flew and went from second gear to fifth gear in the blink of an eye,' Gosden said. 'This is a great win, but I did think for a moment Andre would be the lucky man!' he added. It was a frustrating day for O'Brien whose dual-Derby winner Lambourn was one of four Ballydoyle runners in the Great Voltigeur, only for none of them to make the frame. Instead, it was Pride Of Arras who repeated his course win in May's Dante on his first run after a gelding operation. Due to that unkind cut he can't run in the St Leger but Paddy Twomey's runner-up Carmers is on course for Doncaster and another possible duel with Lambourn, who was only fifth. O'Brien said: 'He went grand, they went steady and he's lazy, I think it was a steadily-run race. All of them ran grand. The reason we ran Lambourn here was so that he had the option of either the Leger or the Arc. I don't think the Leger trip will be a problem, we know he stays a mile and a half well.' O'Brien's Italy had to settle for second in the Group Three Acomb Stakes behind the Andrew Balding winner Gewan.

Women's Rugby World Cup to offer players 'mental health support'
WOMEN'S RUGBY WORLD chiefs have promised to offer players 'mental health support' after saying female athletes are '30% more likely' to suffer social media abuse than their male counterparts. While the likes of tournament hosts England are a professional side who have become used to increasing scrutiny, several of the other 15 competing teams are semi-professional or amateur outfits for whom the World Cup will provide a whole new level of exposure. 'Supporting athletes, having an athlete-centred approach, I think, is fundamental to everything that the competition is doing and that we are doing at World Rugby,' said Sally Horrox, the global governing body's head of women's rugby. 'So our performance teams have been working very closely on programmes with the unions to make sure that there is mental health support, for example, for those athletes who are away from home. 'Some of them have families, some of them have other jobs. The game in many parts of the world is still an amateur to semi-professional game, so they will be experiencing something very, very different. Advertisement 'So we take our responsibilities very seriously.' Tournament organisers said Tuesday they expected the 27 September final at Twickenham to feature a sell-out crowd of over 80,000 — a record for any women's rugby match. More than 375,000 tickets have been sold across all 32 matches at this World Cup, with a huge global television audience anticipated as well. 'We're ready to break records in attendances, viewership and engagement,' tournament director Sarah Massey said during Tuesday's launch event at Twickenham. 'This is going to be the biggest global celebration of women's rugby that we have ever seen.' But with that opportunity come attendant risks and World Rugby, in April, announced a collaboration with the Signify Group to use the data organisation's 'Threat Matrix' that monitors social media platforms to detect and report abusive posts and comments. 'No one deserves that type of abuse in this environment,' said Horrox. 'And sadly, female athletes, are 30% more likely to experience this type of abuse than men.' World Cup favourites England open the tournament against the United States in the north-east city of Sunderland on Friday, with the Americans boasting a breakout social media star in Ilona Maher, who has amassed over eight million followers. The Red Roses named their team for the opener this afternoon, John Mitchell selecting an unchanged side from their final warm-up game. They beat France 40-6 in the second of two tune-ups earlier this month.
