The Dolder Grand, Zurich
More photosExpert reviews
“Nestled between forests and a golf course and perched on a hill above Lake Zurich, The Dolder Grand majestically overlooks the financial center of Switzerland. From the lake’s shore, the hotel is a notable feature, looking palatial in its surroundings.”
“Set atop the Zürichberg mountain, this sprawling resort hotel, which began life as a Victorian-era Kurhaus (health spa resort), blends the Corinthian capitals and crystal chandeliers of the original structure with two modern glass-and-steel wings that mirror the natural surroundings.”
“Majestic turrets make this multi-award-winning Belle Époque resort a Zurich landmark, while a contemporary vibe is lent by two Norman Foster-designed wings. Gallery-quality artworks, a 4,000-square-metre spa and a Michelin-starred restaurant are some of the highlights.”

Fabulous
So Dear agents from Dolder, with all respect, when we asked for the king bed it’s not to put two single beds together… otherwise you are sleeping in a hole.

Short trip, eager to come back with more time .
Enjoyed the upgrade of room, the friendliness of the staff and the location of the Hotel. Although I didn't have enough time to book a treatment, the Gym and Spa facilities are amazing.
Checkout was a little bumpy, waited 30 minutes for my bags. The day I left it was quite busy, so quite slow. Other than that, excellent experience.

Fantastic experience
The hotel is amazing! Fantastic location and superb amenities. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable, and the view stunning, especially if you get the front side of the hotel with views of the Alps in the distance. Amazing to wake up to and amazing to fall asleep to. The spa was fantastic (Vincent! He helped relieve what feels like years long lower back pain!) And the restaurant absolutely delicious! All in all a great stay, just wish it had been longer.
The price was a bit on the high side, especially for a family of 5. But you pay for what you get, and what we got was worth it.

Everything in the hotel was perfect. From the reception staff to the gym, everything is 5 star level
The location for solo travelers who go to Zurich for the 1st time is a bit far.
Prepare yourself to pay at least 30 euros every way you go from central zurich to the hotel.
If this is not a problem for you, enjoy!
Besides the distance, i Would definitely come back to the hotel!

Beautiful place , amazing spa
Lobby Bar service was quite slow, waited an hour for a Cesar Salad and a Club Sandwich

Best hotel in the world
If this place is a 5 star hotel, then every other "5 star" hotel I've been to is a 3 star.

Fantastic check in and friendly helpful staff.

great hotel, great location with snooty (mainly German, no Swiss charm) but very impersonal Staff.
Very nice SPA area, great location and lots of arts in the hotel.
Couple of no go happened during our stay:
1.) we got a room in a historical part of the Building, which was a surprise but had some charm although the rooms are smaller and balcony can hardly be used due to size and location.
The extra bed for our son was the cheapest possible „Feldbett“. After I complained („we don’t have others, you can book a single room extra but for a charge“) we somehow got a better one.
And this all for 1.250€ per night (no breakfast included!)
2.) hotel has „no kids under 12“ in SPA policy which of course, I checked before. My son was registered 13,5 by presenting his passport upon check in. Nevertheless I was asked at SPA reception again and stated his age. Couple of minutes later (I was in SPA!) I had a missed call by reception regarding the age of my son! This was so annoying.
Better check all your customers wearing bathing shorts in Sauna, this is much more of a problem.

Greulich Design & Boutique Hotel, Zurich
Frommers + 1 more“This sleek boutique hotel is a hidden gem in a quiet but trendy part of town, and it’s just five minutes by tram from the city center. The former industrial building it’s in has an elegant grey-blue facade; the interiors exude calm through minimalist decor, pure lines, and neutral color schemes that were created by the Swiss artist Jean Pfaff.”
Kameha Grand, Zurich
Forbes + 1 more“Kameha Grand Zürich is a wild and witty antidote to its industrial Glattpark surroundings. Don’t be fooled by its boxy, glass-and-steel exterior — once you step inside the unique property, you’ll be warmly welcomed by managing directors Benedikt Theisen and Stefan Wurm and their helpful team.”
Hotel Florhof, Zurich
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Set in a lovely garden, this former silk factory and noble family’s mansion contains 32 tastefully appointed rooms and is a stone’s throw from the Kunsthaus.”
Baur au Lac, Zurich
CN Traveler + 4 more“Most of the rooms have been given contemporary twists – oversized photographs and original art works, swirly carpets and padded leather headboards for the beds – though there are still a few classic suites left, wonderfully chintzy and stripy, and largely unmodernised.”
