Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville

Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville

Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville sits close enough to Paradeplatz, Fraumuenster and St. Peter Church that an evening walk covers the old town's main points without a taxi. Among the hotel's 104 rooms are 36 suites designed by Tristan Auer in warm, Zurich-inspired tones, the biggest such suites in the city. What separates it from other luxury addresses nearby is the rooftop bar with panoramic views over the old town, paired downstairs with Italian fine dining at ORSINI and the more relaxed Savoy Brasserie & Bar. Meetings find a home in the restored Ballsaal, which seats up to 160 guests among original stucco and mirrored walls, or in the smaller Zunftzimmer, which holds up to 16. A gym covers a workout before those meetings, and staff fluent in eight languages, including Arabic and Portuguese, handle the traffic of guests who arrive for business and stay for the address. Couples marking an anniversary and executives extending a Zurich trip by a night will find the concierge, garage parking and multilingual desk built for exactly that kind of stay. Families needing an extra bed for a child should budget for the 150 CHF nightly charge, and anyone travelling with a pet should book elsewhere, since pets are not permitted. A 300 CHF daily deposit is required at check-in, and the hotel adds a CHF 10 per room, per night fee, worth knowing before the credit card comes out. What lingers after checkout is not the thread count but the walk back to Paradeplatz, proof that in this hotel, location was never an afterthought. Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville sits steps from Paradeplatz, pairing Tristan Auer's suites with a rooftop bar and a restored ballroom for events. Extra beds cost 150 CHF a night and pets are not permitted, so this suits couples and business travellers over families with dogs.
