ZURICH LUXURY HOTEL GUIDE
Baur au Lac
The Baur au Lac's 160-year reign as the best accommodation in Zurich, Switzerland, can be attributed in part to the hotel's equivalent of pole position: on Lake Zurich (au Im:) and fronting the Bahnhofstrasse, which simultaneously is one of the world's great financial districts and shopping boulevards. Greetings by the Baur's staff membcrs-e-much like the confections from the hotel's in-house chocolatier that they leave on your pilloware perfectly Swiss. Of the 82 rooms and 42 suites, no two are alike. Gourmet restaurants alternate by season (Le Pavilion in summer, Le Restaurant Prancais in winter), and the hotel hosts brunches and receptions in its surrounding private park.
