A mere stone’s throw
from the Paradeplatz, Zurich’s bustling financial district, the Baur
au Lac serenely commands a privileged position in its own landscaped
park, between the lake and the small river Schanzengraben. 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 Français 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. Located just next to the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse and
on the shores of Lake Zurich, the Baur au Lac is the ideal starting
point for shopping in the various designer shops and jewellers or
for a private boat trip on a yacht along Lake Zurich’s “gold coast”. |
