Concierge "Baur au Lac, which has been overlooking Lake Zurich since 1844, is something of a touchstone for travelers seeking old-school elegance."
Travel + Leisure "This 168-year-old family-owned hotel in the city center, overlooking Lake Zürich, is both historic and up-to-date: more than $160 million has been spent on renovations over the past decade." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Impeccable location right in the heart of the city, on the lake and steps away from the Bahnhofstrasse, yet secluded in its own private park."
Star Service "One of Switzerland's most celebrated properties, this refined traditionalist vies with the fabled Widder, the latter proffering a bolder modern eclecticism." Full review

With a mere three francs separating frugal guests from partaking in the morning buffet, avoid the overpriced Continental spread (US$46).
