this is a beautiful, stately hotel. It’s really world class. The location is fantastic. Stupid little thing I liked was the ink pens that they provided! They also packed our breakfast for us so we had an early morning flight. That was wonderful. Speaking of their breakfast the breakfast that comes with the room if you choose is beautiful. Is that a beautiful restaurant? Lots of great choices. We were here after a long trip through Europe. But this would be a wonderful place for romantic holiday getaway. One thing to note is none of the rooms have views. That was a little disappointing when Lake was right there. I asked for a view and they said they didn’t have one so just be aware of that. It’s hard to be in Switzerland without a view lol

the staff is amazing, the hotel as well but you feel at some points it’s a bid to classy designed to my taste-…the shower situation is not my favorite and the breakfast could be better on this level of hotel but that’s the only thing. already great they have an ac for hot days. it’s a specatcular place otherwise with a lot of history. one for me of the best places in europe 🙂 and the bed was amazing too and everyone super nice and they recognize you by name after your arrived. and i totally recommend this place.

We checked in at Baur au Lac for our anniversary and could not have wished for a better stay. From the superb pre-arrival communication to the truly royal welcome, we felt recognized and cared for from the very first moment. Being greeted by name and acknowledged for the special occasion was a wonderful touch. The room was spotless, the in-room dining service exceptionally kind and attentive, and breakfast the following morning was simply impeccable. A true gem in Zurich that I can highly recommend for a special occasion or simply an unforgettable stay.

The hotel itself is beautiful, and initially we were very happy with our stay. Unfortunately, our experience was completely ruined by a serious incident. My friend had 1,000 CHF in her wallet. We were away from the room for about two hours while housekeeping was cleaning. When we returned, we noticed that her wallet had been taken out of her bag and left on the table. Later, while shopping, she discovered that the 1,000 CHF was missing. Considering the circumstances, we could not identify any other place where the money could have disappeared. What was most disappointing was the management’s response. The general manager simply told us that he trusted his staff and suggested we contact the police. There was no apology, no meaningful investigation, and no real attempt to help. A beautiful hotel, but this experience left us extremely disappointed. I strongly recommend keeping all cash and valuables locked in the safe.

What an incredible hotel! First and foremost I just want to highlight the team and the service they deliver. The people at the reception are super helpful, the housekeeping team is very friendly, the door men welcome you with a smile and the team at Marguita always have a good joke at hand. You really feel like they want you to have a great time and we definitely did. We can recommend going for a drink at Marguita in the afternoon or for dinner in the evening. The garden in the center of Zürich is a green oasis in the middle of town. The gym on the fifth floor has everything you need and a super great view over lake Zürich. The rooms are nicely styled and the beds very comfortable. We hope to be back soon!

I recently stayed at Baur au Lac and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is perfectly located, and the staff are extremely professional and kind. A special thank you to Violetta for her warm welcome at check-in, Giula for the very smooth check-out, and Jasmine for her help even after my stay. The rooms are beautiful, and the breakfast is excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back.

Where can I eat near Baur au Lac?

Right at the hotel, Marguita serves Mediterranean dishes on Lake Zurich, Baur's Brasserie offers classic European cuisine, and Le Hall is an elegant all-day lobby restaurant with a bar. The hotel's Bar and Cafe are also on site for drinks and lighter bites. Steps away along the Old Town, you will find more dining options like the Zeughauskeller for Swiss specialties. The lakefront area around the hotel has many places to sit down for a meal or just a coffee.

What is the area around Baur au Lac like?

The hotel sits in Zurich's heart on Lake Zurich, with the Old Town and its historic lanes a short stroll away. Grossmünster is a 6-minute walk and Lindenhof is 8 minutes, so you are close to the city's landmarks. Bahnhofstrasse, known for international boutiques, is just a few minutes' walk, as is the Old Town with Rennweg, St Peterstrasse and Augustinergasse, home to small boutiques and charming restaurants. The Tonhalle concert hall is also steps away. For a quieter break, the hotel's private park offers a lakeside setting.

How do I get to Baur au Lac from the airport or main train station?

From Zurich Airport, take a train to Zurich Main Station, which is about 1.2 km from the hotel, roughly an 8 to 9 minute walk or a short taxi ride. Alternatively, a taxi or ride-hailing service from the airport will bring you directly to Talstrasse 1. From the main station, you can also walk along the Bahnhofstrasse to reach the hotel. The Marguita restaurant page lists the airport at 9.6 km and the station at 1.2 km. A pre-booked transfer is another straightforward option, though trains from the airport run frequently to the city center.

What's there to do near Baur au Lac in the evening?

In the evening, the hotel's own Marguita serves Mediterranean dishes right on the lake, and Baur's Bar offers cocktails in a classic brasserie setting. Le Hall is an elegant lobby bar for a quiet after-dinner drink. For a stroll, the Grossmünster is a 6-minute walk away and Lindenhof is 8 minutes, both atmospheric after dark. The nearby Old Town, with shops along Bahnhofstrasse, is within easy walking distance for a late wander.

Is Baur au Lac a good base for exploring Zurich?

Yes, Baur au Lac is a convenient base for exploring Zurich. Grossmünster is a 6-minute walk away, and Lindenhof is 8 minutes away, so the heart of the Old Town is right outside the door. The Swiss National Museum is a 17-minute walk, making it an easy addition to a stroll along the river. For further sights like Zoo Zürich (3.2 km) or Aussichtsturm Uetliberg (4.1 km), a tram, taxi, or ride-hailing service will get you there comfortably. You can use the city's public transport to reach these farther spots, or simply walk through the central sights from here. The hotel's own restaurants, Marguita, Baur's, and Le Hall, are also handy on-site options for starting or ending your day.
