Breathtaking views of the Alps, haven to hikers, walkers, and nature lovers! Zurich should be one to add to your list for places to go! We chose the beautiful The Dolder Grand, for it's views and location!
A 5 star hotel in the Swiss city of Zurich. Set on the Adlisberg hill, around 2 kilometres/1.2 miles) and 200 meters/660 ft above the city centre, and spreads over 40,000 sq. metres/ 430,000 sq. ft, makes you feel like your on top of the world!
The hotel opened its doors at 1899, with a nearby Dolderbahn (cogwheel tramway) to serve the hotel. The hotel has 173 rooms, suites, two restaurants (one being a 2 Michelin star) a bar, 13 conference rooms and a 4,000-square-metre (43,000 sq. ft) spa.
The Dolder is great for couples, or family. Besides the Dolderbahn, there is the Dolder Sports club , which is great for the whole family! The club provides an Olympic size pool, a kids pool, miniature golf, ping pong area, volleyball, soccer/football field, and cafe area. For adults ONLY, there is a beautiful golf course across the street, and the top rated SPA at the main building in the hotel.
The hotel also provides a kids room with nanny service for kids 3 years and up. If needed there is also a babysitter for hire.
The hotel provides complimentary tickets to Zoo Zurich, which is well worth it!
as well as complimentary shuttles back and fourth to downtown Zurich.
If you are only staying for a few days like we did, I highly recommend a boat ride on one of the many boat crosses on Zurich city ports Bürkliplatz – Lakeside Pleasure and Leisure
Bürkliplatz is not only a boat dock, but also a marketplace, art area and event site with a view across Lake Zurich to the Alps.
Zurich city also offers great restaurants, shopping, and Many festivals (especially during the summer time), so make sure to check it on Zurich website.
***Besides the great restaurants / breakfast at the The Dolder Hotel, we recommend Bianchi restaurant for excellent Italian and seafood, as well as being very kid friendly!***
