Property Overview
Zurich’s venerable Baur au Lac boasts a history as breathtaking as its Alps and lakeside setting. Opened in 1844 by Johannes Baur, the property hosted the world premiere of Wagner’s Die Walküre, with the composer himself conducting. Alfred Nobel’s former secretary, Bertha von Suttner, conceived of the Nobel Peace Prize in one of the hotel’s salons. Today, a cast of royals, actors, and musicians is drawn to the grande dame hotel for its exquisitely discreet service, stunning views, private lakeshore park, and proximity to Zurich’s historic sites, including the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse shopping street. The Baur's Brasserie and a new restaurant Marguita opening in summer 2024, as well as the historic lobby Le Hall, will spoil guests with culinary delights. Seven exclusive banqueting rooms are also available in a stylish ambience to provide a special setting for events of all kinds. A world-class fitness club high above the rooftops of the Zurich completes the offering.
