Zurich — Neighborhood Guide
Zurich's Altstadt is one of the most handsome medieval centres in Switzerland — a compact hillside of guild halls, Romanesque and Gothic churches, and the Niederdorf nightlife quarter threading down to the Limmat river. The Grossmünster and Fraumünster churches anchor the skyline, and the narrow lanes of the Lindenhügel reward slow exploration.

City Centre
The most prestigious address in Zurich since 1844 — a private park hotel set between the lake and the river with manicured gardens, antique-filled rooms of timeless elegance, and a grill restaurant that remains the city's most important business dining room. Swiss luxury at its most assured.

Dolder
A 1899 fairy-tale castle on the Zürichberg hill above the city, dramatically expanded by Norman Foster in 2008 with a 4,000 sqm spa, a two-Michelin-star restaurant, and panoramic lake and Alps views. One of Switzerland's most extraordinary properties — half grand historic hotel, half contemporary art palace.
