The Dolder Grand Zürich 5*
An iconic art‑filled sanctuary perched above Lake Zürich.
Where Swiss serenity, Michelin‑starred cuisine and a vast spa converge in an elevated city‑resort experience.
Hotel Overview
The Dolder Grand blends historic château grandeur and modern elegance atop Zürich’s Adlisberg hill. Originally opened in 1899 and restored in 2008 by Norman Foster, it comprises the original central building flanked by two modern wings. With 175 luxurious rooms and suites, each room offers sweeping views of the city, lake or Alps. The hotel seamlessly integrates architectural heritage with contemporary comfort in a tranquil setting, yet remains just minutes from Zurich’s financial and cultural centre.
The Facilities at a Glance
Guests enjoy four distinct restaurants — The Restaurant (two Michelin stars under Heiko Nieder), Saltz with refined Swiss-inspired fare, the Japanese omakase-style Mikuriya, and the vegetarian garden restaurant blooms — alongside the redesigned Canvas Bar & Lounge. The award-winning spa spans 4,000 m² and includes a 25 m pool, hammam, saunas, plunge pools, sanarium, meditation mosaic dome, sports studio and spa café. A sweeping art collection featuring works by Dalí, Haring, Botero and Muró is displayed throughout public spaces.
Our Personal Recommendations
We love The Dolder Grand for its tranquillity, art and dining. Begin your stay by exploring the rotating installations among Miró and Haring pieces, then unwind in the spa’s calm Dome or plunge pool. At dusk, sip cocktails at Canvas Bar overlooking the city before dinner at The Restaurant—ask concierge to arrange a chef’s table to savour Heiko Nieder’s tasting menu. For walking or forest hikes, follow trails directly behind the hotel. For privacy or elevation, request a suite facing the Alps—with heated marble floors and refined vintage touches, this is Zürich in serene splendour.
