Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Baur au Lac
Julie F., Zurich, Switzerland. September, 2006
"The Baur au Lac is truly an old-school hotel with a modern attitude. There are few hotels that are able to successfully maintain the elegance and sophistication of classic luxury while offering all of the modern amenities you would expect. This hotel is on par with the Ritz in Paris, the Ritz in Madrid or the Madarin Oriental in Bangkok. It is among my favorites."
Banquets & Meetings
Excellent meeting and banquet rooms. All the function rooms have adequate natural daylight, air-conditioning, ISDN telephone and fax connections, individually adjustable light and carpeted floors.
Fine Dining on Site
Internationally renowned for superior cuisine and outstanding wines. Elegant Le Restaurant Francais, for classic French fare, Le Pavillon, for romantic garden dining in a unique setting, La Terrasse, for outdoor snacks, and Rive Gauche, downtown's latest "in" restaurant, for informal dining. The American Bar, for cocktails and after-dinner drinks.
Fitness Center
A splendid view across Lake Zurich rewards anyone who visits the new Baur au Lac fitness club and gets in shape for the next day's meeting or simply lives according to the motto "fit for fun". "Personal Training" is the latest service offered at the Baur au Lac. The cooperation between Exklusiv Training and the Baur au Lac only started recently but already become a success.
