I would be happy to recomend Baur au Lac not only as a hotel but also as place to stay in Rive Gauche with a great crew. The restaurant is Pavillion is also very well worth to visit. We ate a very good menu accompanied with great wines and champagner. On warmer days the terasse is a great place to... More

If I had more than 5 stars, this would probably be the only property to deserve it. I have been coming to Zurich every year for the past 18 years. Sometimes I have been in the city twice a year. Always it has been the Baur Au Lac. It is where i feel at home. The staff's attention to detail... More

Baur Au Lac has excellent team; they always smile, helpful, warm and welcoming. They do their best to make our stay smooth and pleasant. It’s a pity they didn’t have badges with the names so I could thank them personally. The room was good, but a little noisy at night, I expected it to be calm because the hotel is... More

A 3-hour perfect lunch in the Pavillon Restaurant with two business associates on a day visit to Zurich. This is not the place if you want a lively atmosphere - there were only 8 other diners - but you're not rushed, you can hear each other talk and the atmosphere is one of total calmness. Beautiful displays of flowers, too.... More

We were particularly impressed by the room design: the colours, the furniture, the marble in the bathroom, everything is very elegant and balanced. All the facilities are extremely well maintained, and the staff is very friendly and professional. I... More

I had a great stay here when in Zurich on business. This hotel really seems to do everything right -- the rooms are very elegant and comfortable, the staff is very attentive, and the location is great. Expensive but I would not hesitate to stay here again.
