Baur au Lac
Zurich, Zürich (de), Switzerland · Virtuoso

Baur au Lac has the discerning tastes of its guests to thank for the leading position it has maintained since 1844 in the international luxury hotel industry. Extensive renovation upholds this tradition and guarantees continuity. Set in its own park, the hotel enjoys a unique location overlooking the lake and the Alps - and yet is still but a few minutes' walk from the Paradeplatz financial district and the Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich's celebrated shopping high street. The hotel is only a stone's throw away from all major cultural and tourist attractions, 20 minutes from Zurich international airport and 5 minutes from Zurich main station. Every room is unique, exclusive, timelessly elegant…
Since 1844, the name has stood for tradition through innovation. Situated in the heart of Zurich, in the middle of its own park, this historic 5-star hotel welcomes you with magnificent views of Lake Zurich and the Alps.
