Baur au Lac

Baur au Lac is a luxury hotel in Zurich with a formal yet relaxed character. The property combines individually styled rooms and suites with refined shared spaces, creating an accommodation setting suited to leisure stays, business travel and special occasions. Interiors are described through timeless elegance, comfortable furnishings and a touch of old-Hollywood glamour, while the surrounding grounds add a quieter dimension to the city address.

The hotel is set beside a park with views towards the lake and the Swiss Alps. Its location also places guests close to Zurich’s old town, the Limmat and the boutiques around Bahnhofstrasse. The setting works for travelers who want access to central city attractions while retaining a calm place to return to. A hotel garage and transfer service support arrivals and onward travel, and the property also accommodates furry companions.

Dining at Baur au Lac focuses on several distinct experiences rather than a single restaurant format. Le Hall provides an elegant setting for lunch, coffee, conversation or an aperitif. Afternoon tea offers a more leisurely pause in the hotel’s classic surroundings. Marguita extends the dining experience onto a terrace designed for long evenings and social occasions. Baur au Lac Vins reflects the hotel’s longstanding interest in carefully selected wines and spirits, making it a natural choice for guests planning a drink-led visit or looking for a considered bottle selection.

The hotel also includes a fitness offering and spaces for meetings, conferences and celebrations. Its event rooms range from more intimate salons to larger formal settings, with modern technical infrastructure available for professional gatherings. This combination gives the property a broad role within the city, covering accommodation, dining, private functions and business events without losing its traditional hotel atmosphere.

Baur au Lac suits travelers drawn to classic luxury, polished service settings and a choice of social spaces within one property. Couples and business travelers can use the rooms, suites and dining areas as a base for city visits, while groups can consider the dedicated event salons for organised occasions. The park, terrace, wine focus and lake-facing setting add variety to the experience, with Le Hall providing the most accessible option for a short daytime stop or an evening drink.
