Should you prefer not to wake up to a farm worker forking hay, mountain goats running up a hillside or an Alpine village, ask for a room in the new building - they have no wall mural, no cow-themed shower curtain and are generally reserved for more sober-minded business travellers.

Fodor's "This budget hotel revels in its Swiss roots, but balances this indulgence with no-nonsense conveniences such as built-in pine furniture and tile baths." Full review

Michelin Guide "Magnificent 19C architecture... and plentiful and attentive staff."
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).
