With temperatures rising in the Middle East, The Dolder Grand in Zurich offers a perfect escape from the heat of summer and the hectic pace of life – whether as a destination in its own right or as part of an extended European itinerary.
Set on a wooded hillside with a grandstand view of Lake Zurich, just a few minutes from the heart of one of the world’s loveliest cities, it is a rare gem, combining the sophistication of urban culture with the peace and beauty of a mountain retreat. Surrounded by idyllic private grounds at the edge of a forest, with four highly regarded restaurants and a world-leading spa, The Dolder Grand is a complete resort – as well as a quintessential city hotel. A notable gourmet destination, it is also a stylish social hub for both local residents and international travellers.
With the clean Swiss air and the silence of the surrounding Adlisberg forest, The Dolder Grand is a wonderful proposition for a summer spa retreat – whether seeking a simple relax-and-revive break or a more in-depth medically-based wellness intervention. A sophisticated and stylish destination for couples or solo travellers, The Dolder Grand is also an ideal summer destination for families – a magical environment for a relaxed and memorable holiday. Among the 175 rooms and suites, some have been specially designed to accommodate families with young children, while a variety of interconnected rooms can be joined to create larger suites.
With such a complete offer of wellness, dining and outdoor sporting activities, it could be tempting never to venture beyond the hotel – but that would mean missing the cultural richness of the city, not to mention the excellent shopping. Art lovers could fill several days just on discovering Zurich’s rich array of galleries and museums – from the world-famous Kunsthaus to the vibrant grassroots art scene in the former industrial area of Zurich West, by way of countless galleries dealing in modern paintings, photography and design.
In a setting that epitomises modern luxury, with its ease, style and refined sophistication, and a remarkable location where the city joins the countryside, The Dolder Grand is a summer destination like no other.
