Baur au Lac

The Baur au Lac is beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Zürich. The hotel itself is classic elegant and very luxurious with, staff that match. Every aspect of the hotel was very clean and tastefully decorated. The breakfast in the morning was elegantly delicious and of real quality, once again with fantastic service. The room was small but well equipped and again followed the elegant decorating of the rest of the hotel. One slight grape is that the shower seal did not seal correctly therefore the bathroom often not quite wet when showering, although this is nothing that a few towels could not fix. Would definitely recommend! **we won our stay as a donated raffle prize.

Great location for getting to know Zurich. Less than one block to walk to the lake. Surprisingly large and park-like garden with gorgeous trees and flowers. Delicious dinners at the Baur restaurant, and the best breakfasts we've ever had (not kidding!) at Marguita's. Beautifully appointed, quiet bedroom with a balcony view of the canal. Comfortable bed and pillows (including a knee pillow!). The bedroom had plush furniture, lots of decorative mirrors, crown molding throughout the room, rounded ceiling molding, automated drapes, dimmable lights, USB-A ports, free mini-bar items, fresh fruit assortment, and many luxury features. We would return in a heart beat!

This is in the crème de la crème of hotels globally. Came back for a friend, for her to experience the ‘fine’ interior environs of Baur au Lac . The rooms are exquisitely designed, thought has been given to the finest detail, and the mattresses & pillows are divine. Service everywhere is thoughtful, precise, subtly considerate but ruthlessly efficient. The restaurant food is good, the bar now expanded is nice, where most bar staff met Baur au Lac standards easily but for one who was not exactly on par with his colleagues. This is a place to be experienced, worth the price tag which is a king’s ransom but for business an ideal spot and for recreation & romance equally unparalleled.

We loved the food in the main restaurant, also the grandezza of the old building, the atmosphere right at the lake, and for me the particular highlight is the quasi-secret cigar lounge. Prices are skyhigh, but that's par for the course in Zurich, and the Nr. 1 Hotel in town.

Fantastic luxury palace at the heart of Zurich Its location is exceptional, by the lake but close to all amenities , shoping, restaurants, old town, universities, lake and so on. The service of this five star hotel is as good as one can expect from such a high standard accommodation. Eating the breakfast, which is amazingly diverse and delicious, by the canal and enjoying the lake view provides also a unique experience. This was simply a wonderful stay !
