Whether Henry Kissinger, Albert Einstein, or Nelson Mandela—they have all stayed at The Dolder Grand during their visits to Zurich. First opened in 1899, this luxury hotel was carefully renovated between 2004 and 2008 by renowned London architects Foster and Partners, who combined it with the achievements of modern architecture. Today, it combines history, tradition, and modernity, striking a balance between a relaxed retreat, an exclusive city resort, and a first-class wellness hotel.

Experience one of Europe's most beautiful cities up close—in one of The Dolder Grand's 175 elegant rooms, ranging from chic single rooms to opulent top suites with exclusive butler and limousine service. The hotel is also enriched by over 100 works of art by renowned artists – from Andy Warhol to Salvador Dalí to René Magritte, all of which hang on the walls of the prestigious, partially listed building. It quickly becomes clear that The Dolder Grand on Adlisberg is now much more than just a hotel. It is a meeting place, a melting pot, and one of the best culinary addresses in Switzerland. National and international celebrities regularly gather in The Dolder Grand Bar with its fascinating Swarovski light sky and in the restaurants, because they all appreciate the impeccable service, discretion, and Swiss hospitality. A visit to The Restaurant, awarded 18 Gault Millau points and 2 Michelin stars, with Heiko Nieder's surprising gourmet cuisine, will provide a fireworks display of culinary delights. The modern all-day dining restaurant Saltz, designed by artist Rolf Sachs, also impresses with 14 Gault Millau points, exquisite traditional specialties, and local ingredients. Last but not least, guests stay at the Dolder Grand because of its excellent wellness world, which covers an impressive 4,000 square meters—extremely rare for a city hotel—with separate ladies' and gentlemen's spas, an aqua zone with pool, whirlpool terrace, steam bath, sanarium, spa library, fitness facilities, and relaxation rooms. Relaxation comes naturally here. Right next to the hotel, you can also take a walk in an idyllic forest or take advantage of the wide range of sports facilities with free e-bikes, five tennis courts, a 9-hole golf course, a driving range, mini golf, and the public Dolder Bad. Boredom is unheard of in Zurich. Top off your luxury vacation with a visit to one of the city's museums or theaters, or let the dedicated concierge team put together your own personalized "Zurich program." That's Swiss-style service.
