The Dolder Grand

About

High above Lake Zurich, The Dolder Grand presides over the city with the confidence of a grande dame who knows she has aged beautifully. Opened in 1899 as a spa retreat, its fairy tale turrets still crown the hill, while sleek contemporary wings by architect Lord Norman Foster bring a whisper of steel and glass bravado. Inside, marble floors, serious art, and a hush that feels deliciously conspiratorial set the tone. Statesmen and screen legends have checked in, drawn by privacy and panorama alike. Zurich sparkles below, the Alps pose in the distance, and history lingers in the corridors with impeccable posture.
