This is meant to be Zurich's best hotel. Its not impressive. The rooms are either incredibly dated but with a view of the canal or refurbished (nothing wow - rather classic and standard) but with a view of the street! The dated rooms have bathrooms that ..well..should have been renovated 15 years ago. They charge a fortune for below par accomodation. The garden is the best thing the hotel has to offer. The breakfast room (again so very dated and stale!) serves a great breakfast and the concierge are bubbly and up to task. Check in staff although polite and very correct, lack any form of friendliness. The whole place is old and fuddy-duddy. Clients range from Russian oligarchs in Ferraris and Lamborginis to old actresses and prima donnas that no one would recognise today but who still demand over the top service and get it ..which means more 'normal' high end customers that dont make a fuss, get very little attention. Simply not worth the money and Zurich does have better 5 star places to stay.

Beautiful location at the end of the Bahnhofstrasse in a small garden by the lake. The hotel is in easy walking distance or a short tram ride from the cities best restaurants, shops and attractions. The rooms are large and all you would expect of a five star hotel but without being over the top. The hotel is well over a 100 years old and marries its history with all the mod cons you would expect. What sets the Baur Au Lac apart is its service, they manage to make you feel as if you are 'part of the family' even when you are travelling with two small children. Breakfast is wonderful but the restaurants suffer from the 'hotel mentality' at the other meal periods...however as mentioned there are some great restaurants and cafes closeby so this is not a problem. Having stayed at most of the top hotels in Zurich over the years we always find ourselves returning to the Baur Au Lac...the competition is very good but the Baur Au Lac is better !
