Baur au Lac

Baur au Lac occupies a rare position between Lake Zurich and Bahnhofstrasse, surrounded by its own private park yet only steps from the center of the city.

The hotel has remained closely identified with traditional Swiss grand-hotel hospitality, but its rooms and suites are continually refined rather than preserved as period pieces.

Public spaces feel formal without becoming stiff, and the private garden is an especially valuable asset in warm weather, creating a level of calm uncommon at such a central address.

Dining at Marguita and Baur’s gives the hotel a strong local following, while the fitness and wellbeing program adds a modern layer to the otherwise classic experience.

Baur au Lac is best for travelers who want Zurich at its most established and discreet, especially when location, service and a sense of continuity matter more than trend-driven design.
