Baur au Lac: Zurich's Grande Dame in a Private Lakeside Park

Baur au Lac has been the grande dame of Zurich since 1844, set in its own private park at the point where Lake Zurich meets the city and the Bahnhofstrasse, still owned and run by the same family into a sixth generation. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it has hosted royalty, statesmen and composers for nearly two centuries.

The dining matches the pedigree. Marguita celebrates Mediterranean cuisine right on the lake under chef Maximilian Müller; Baur's Brasserie & Bar brings signature flair and a beloved Sunday brunch under chef Olivier Rais; and Le Hall is the heart of the hotel for classics, delicate sweets and a traditional winter Afternoon Tea.

For a grand, lakeside Zurich stay, Baur au Lac is without equal.
