The Baur au Lac has the discerning tastes of its guests to thank for the leading position it has maintained for 170 years in the international luxury hotel industry. Extensive renovation upholds this tradition and guarantees continuity. Set in its own park, the hotel enjoys a unique location overlooking the lake and the Alps – and yet is still but a few minutes walk from the Paradeplatz financial district and the Bahnhofstrasse, Zurichs celebrated shopping high street.
