Baur au Lac is Zurich's prestigious landmark of unequalled hospitality, elegance, and impeccable service. The hotel has been owned by the same family for over 160 years. Only recently, every room was thoroughly renovated, each one lovingly and uniquely crafted to combine superlative creature comforts with classical elegance and every conceivable technical convenience. The unusually large and light bathrooms, an attractive blend of marble and mirrors, combine practicality with sheer luxury. The enchanting atmosphere of the elegant winter restaurant Francais awaits the connoisseur with a superb selection of haute cuisine whose themes vary through the year. The delightful summer restaurant Le Pavillon is one of the most popular places in town with a unique atmosphere and a menu that enhances the Mediterranean ambiance. From the terrace and the adjoining park there is an enchanting view of Lake Zurich and the Alps. The Rive Gauche, a sparkling blend of chic restaurant and bar, offers Mediterranean grill room specialities for "fine casual dining." The Baur au Lac features an exclusive fitness centre on the top of the hotel with magnificent views over Lake Zurich and the Alps. A personal trainer or physiotherapy may be arranged. The beauty salon and hair-dresser Vanity offers a wide range of luxury cosmetic treatments.
Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Baur au Lac
Edward L., Blue Bell, USA. July, 2008
"Great hotel. Fantastic service. People are very friendly and helpful. Fast wireless internet. I would highly recommend this hotel."
Julie F., Zurich, Switzerland. September, 2006
"The Baur au Lac is truly an old-school hotel with a modern attitude. There are few hotels that are able to successfully maintain the elegance and sophistication of classic luxury while offering all of the modern amenities you would expect. This hotel is on par with the Ritz in Paris, the Ritz in Madrid or the Madarin Oriental in Bangkok. It is among my favorites."
