BOOK BAUR AU LAC (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Alfred Nobel instituted the international peace prize, here. Sissi, the Empress, chose this place for an entire summer. Richard Wagner premiered the first act of "Die Walküre", accompanied on the piano by Franz Liszt. Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, and Fernando Botero cherished it, as well as Plácido Domingo and Elton John. The Baur au Lac is a grandiose 5-star hotel in Zurich, one that deserves all compliments. Opened in 1844, the Baur au Lac was rapidly the talk of the town; the hotel's elegant architecture - large villa styled - and its spectacular location facing the Alps, right beside Lake Zurich, surrendered all to its charm. For years it was the favored residence of guests who traveled incognito. But the secret for nearly 2 centuries of consistent success is flawless service and constant preservation. If you ever dreamed of an aristocratic kind of visit to Zurich, the Baur au Lac is definitely the place. The spacious interiors are classy, classical, and extraordinarily comfortable. And the views... breathtaking, really hard to describe, especially when you've seen the mountains gracefully winding before your eyes or grasped a complete vision of Lake Zurich's waters. Make your best in order to book a higher floor room; only then you will fully understand the meaning of the expression 'a room with a view'. The Baur au Lac is within walking distance of some of the historical landmarks (Fraumunster, Stadstadt, or Peter's Church, for example) or the best restaurants in town. Do not miss the Michelin-starred Restaurant Pavillion, though. Funny enough it lies at the very Baur au Lac. Quite frankly, what else could you expect from your upcoming Zurich stay?

BOOK THE DOLDER GRAND (in cooperation with Booking.com)

Experience the feeling of an eagle standing on its nest, glancing at a lake, the city, the mountains, and the forest. Smile at a beautiful synthesis of the old and new architecture. Allow yourself to become ecstatic at the sight of more than 100 works of art. The Dolder Grand, one of the most incredible hotels in Zurich, welcomes you with all these included. Located above Zurich, The Dolder Grand offers breathtaking 360º bird's eye views that will travel you from the forest to Lake Zurich, the city, and the Alps. Enjoy them in one of the spacious rooms or while you swim at the beautiful Spa's pool. This luxurious hotel went through a profound renovation between 2004 and 2008. The London-based company Foster+Partners managed to blend an 1899 historical building with new, modern structures. This fusion resulted in a 'compound' in which grace is widely acknowledged. However, there is yet another 'detail' that contributes to its uniqueness. Have you ever stayed in a hotel that owns probably one of the best world's art collections? Well, now you can: Salvador Dalí, Henri Moore, Fernando Botero, Joan MIró, Zaha Hadid, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring, and Takashi Murakami, among many others, are all part of the impressive exhibit that stands permanently at the hotel. Oh, we forgot to mention Andy Warhol but we promise you'll notice it upon arrival: his 11 meters of 'Big Retrospective Painting' will greet you, right above the reception. Any little flaw at The Dolder Grand? Ok, it's not at Zurich's center, but obviously, they thought about it: the hotel's shuttle will take you there at any time. Rest our case now, we imagine your booking is on its way.

BOOK STORCHEN ZURICH - LIFESTYLE BOUTIQUE HOTEL (in cooperation with Booking.com)

A long, long time ago, a pair of rare black storks landed on the roof of a wonderful building in the pleasant Zurich's Weinplatz. The storks fell in love with the place and thus decided to nest on it. This is the legend that explains the name of one of the most romantic hotels in Zurich, the Hotel Storchen. It's easy to understand why Hotel Storchen has been considered a Zurich's treasure for more than 650 years. The hard thing is to summarize the 'whys' and the 'hows'. The location is nothing but perfect: the hotel is at Zurich's center, right in the middle of Old Town, facing (we do mean facing) the great Grossmunster, and close to everything you wish to visit (as an example the Fraumunster is steps away). The interiors are absolutely charming in their old-days allure and coziness. The sights, Good Lord, they're lovely and serene as they show you the Limmat river and some of the best landmarks in Old Town (meanwhile, the bells sing throughout the day...). One last thing: Hotel Storchen stands by the river and is the only one with its own private pier. Gosh, utmost romantic, that's what it is.

BOOK WIDDER HOTEL - ZURICHS LUXURY HIDEAWAY (in cooperation with Booking.com)

9 centuries ago, there were 9 adjacent houses that homed gentry, merchants, artisans, and heads of local guilds. Some hundreds of years later Tilla Theus, a Swiss architect, embraced the challenge to transform them into a luxury modern hotel. More than 1000 conservation builders and designers worked together; in 1995, a superb fusion of the 9 properties was achieved: Widder Hotel was born. It's quite easy to consider this hotel as one of the best in Zurich: opulence is ingrained in its grounds, be it in its medieval pure breed (expect genuine oak beams, antique tiled stoves, delicate frescoes, and charming stuccoes) or in the splendid marriage of the latter with foolproof contemporaneity (original objects and works from Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Adolf Loos, and Andy Warhol). Along with this, the sights of Zurich are anything but exceptional: simply choose which part of the town you wish to see ­ Grossmunster, Fraumunster, the Mountains, Lake Zurich? ­, and it will be granted. However, if you want to have them all, do not hesitate and book the jaw­dropping 164 m2 Penthouse: the private rooftop terrace will quench your thirst for 360o city's panoramas. Situated in Old Town, the Widder Hotel is undoubtedly one of the best if you want to be able to walk to the most renowned historical landmarks: the Grosmunster, the Fraumunster, the Stadthaus, as well as Peter's Church (just to mention a few) are all less than 5 minutes away. Widder Hotel. Possibly one of the most remarkable experiences you may have while visiting Zurich.

BOOK SORELL HOTEL RIGIBLICK ZURICH (in cooperation with Booking.com)
