This hotel in Zurich is so luxurious, you have to see it to believe it.

When people talk about Zurich, they often mention its status as a financial hub, but if you're lucky enough to visit this city, you'll be drawn to its gentle and quaint side: elegant swans gliding on Lake Zurich, the view of the Limmat River from Lindenhof Hill, the twin towers of Grossmünster, the colorful and retro Augustinergasse... In a private garden in the center of Zurich, there is a hotel with a history of more than 100 years. With its unique location, unique rooms, acclaimed food, and unparalleled service, it welcomes travelers from afar. The Baur au Lac in Zurich, Switzerland, is built along the shores of Lake Zurich, just a street away from the world-famous luxury shopping street Bahnhofstrasse. This hotel was founded in 1844 by Austrian Johannes Baur and has been run by the Baur-Kracht family for over a hundred years, now in its sixth generation. The current head, Andrea Kracht, also has a prestigious title: Global Chairman of The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW). Lac in French means lake, au Lac means by the lake, and it has an exclusive garden and yacht marina in the prime city center. It is just a street away from the world-famous luxury shopping street Bahnhofstrasse, only 20 minutes by car from the airport, and a 15-minute walk to the train station. Step into the elegant and luxurious hotel lobby, which was once the place where German writer Bertha von Suttner persuaded Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize. Today, it shines with a blend of modern and nostalgic styles. Le Hall Lobby Lounge invites guests to experience this unique refinement. Worth noting is this French Bagues crystal chandelier, which adds a touch of color to the hall like a waterfall! The furniture and lighting are all tailor-made for the hotel by brands and designers. Hand-sewn silk curtains, red-veined marble in the bathroom, and precious wood from Africa, everything can only be described as "gorgeous". The hotel has more than 120 rooms, conveying a warm and private atmosphere like a private apartment, while providing the most comfortable, luxurious, and high-tech facilities. In order to create a European court aristocratic atmosphere, all the furniture and carpets are specially designed for the Baur au Lac hotel, made by top studios in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United States. Luxury fabrics from Thailand, Italy, France, and the United States are carefully cut into large curtains. The design of the suite is inspired by the Louis XVI period and incorporates Art Deco style, showing modern luxury and the charm of Baur au Lac. In your leisure time, take a walk with your family in the hotel's beautiful private garden, admire the exquisite horticultural art and the beautiful view of the Alps in the distance, and draw energy from nature.
