If you can afford the price this hotel is an amazing experience. Perfectly located on the shore of the lake, Zurich's business district is small enough so that it's all in walking distance. My favourite moment was watching the concierge conduct 5 conversations in five minutes in flawless German, French, Italian and English switching effortlessly back and forth. Tey'll spoil... More

This is a seeminly snobby hotel to those who have not stayed here. I have stayed at the Baur au Lac over 10 times and it has been a warm, friendly experience. The staff is so helpful! It feels like home every time I return. The rooms are beautiful and the showers feel as though you are standing under a... More

At first I was a bit shocked at the rates here, but all of the top hotels in Zurich were around the same price, so I chose the Baur au Lac for the in-town location and more classic design. It was absolutely fantastic in every way. Our room was an unusual (almost round) shape and had a fabulous marble bathroom.... More

My favourite hotel in the world bar none. I cannot fault the staff or the building itself. I've been coming here since I was a teenager and would happily move in if I could.

There is something very special about this luxurious hotel. A feeling of familiar ambiance much like when arriving home. From staff greeting you at the door to reception and escort to your room, the experience is both friendly and respectful just in the right measure.

Beautiful hotel close to Bahnhofstrasse and the lake. Very nice grounds and pavilion. Helpful and friendly service, especially from the team that serves breakfast. Great food. Beautiful and big rooms. The best pillows ever. Proper classic Grand Hotel, somehow old fashioned, but it is very relaxing. If you want something more happening and fun, then better stay in Dolder.
