Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich
Zurich’s historic Savoy has been reborn as an intimate Mandarin Oriental on Paradeplatz, pairing restored 19th-century grandeur with refined contemporary rooms, destination dining and a rooftop bar near Bahnhofstrasse.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich occupies one of the city’s most prestigious corners on Paradeplatz, steps from Bahnhofstrasse and a short walk from Lake Zurich and the Old Town. The hotel traces its history to 1838, giving it deep roots in the city’s hospitality scene.
The restoration preserved the property’s grand European proportions while interiors by Tristan Auer introduced a lighter, more contemporary residential mood. Rooms and suites use rich materials, bespoke furnishings and carefully selected art without feeling overly ornate.
Because the hotel is relatively intimate, public spaces feel composed rather than monumental. The Mandarin Lounge provides a polished meeting point, while the central location means guests can move easily between the hotel, boutiques, offices and cultural attractions.
ORSINI brings refined Italian dining to the property, Savoy Brasserie & Bar offers a more relaxed all-day option and the rooftop 1838 bar adds city views and a social evening atmosphere. The overall food and beverage program is ambitious for a hotel of this scale.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is best for travelers who want Zurich tradition without a sense of formality frozen in time. Its Paradeplatz location, historic identity and contemporary restoration make it an unusually elegant base in the center of the city.
