- tcitterio (10/5): No. 1 in Zurich - My preferred hotel in Zurich. Perfect location, outstanding service, and a beautiful property with a long history as the city’s leading hotel. I fully enjoyed my short stay at Baur au Lac and will certainly return. The team is truly passionate and attentive, and the way they interact with guests makes you feel genuinely at home. It is also clear that the property is continuously investing in improvements. everything feels very fresh and new things are introduced frequently. Thanks to the entire team for a magical stay.

- 648draganas (10/5): Marvelous stay - I had best time in Bauer Au Lac, I choose it because of it’s reputation but they excited my expectations. I had such lovely time all hotel staff made me feel special in every corner of the hotel. Absolutely recommend it 🍀
- Matthew (10/5): Baur au Lac made our stay extremely special - We had a wonderful stay at Baur au Lac. The premises are stunning, the staff are impeccable, and the restaurants and bar are absolutely beautiful—an elegant, world-class experience from start to finish. We will be back Everything was perfect
- Waleed (10/5): Nothing can go wrong here - Rooms are quiet, well rounded and a cozy hotel. The food was perfect. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Perhaps a toilet catering for all cultures (shattaf) 😅!
- Dimitriy (10/5): -
- werawat (8/5): - All except the Grand Hall area There is no public space where hotel guests can just leisurely spend their time at as the grand hall always requires advanced reservation and mostly booked out If you even got a table, the service there was painfully slow and inattentive
- wbarnim (8/5): Great hotel except for the lobby bar - Wonderful hotel but sadly with one short fall. Service at the reception (especially Vanessa), the concierge desk and the breakfast room are exceptional. We had a beautiful room and everything we ate and drank was wonderful. Sadly the lobby bar does not really keep up with the rest. Firstly it is important to know that you really need to book a place there a day in advance. If you do get a table do not expect prompt or even friendly service. At least we did not get that. My order of a cup of coffee took almost half an hour, the bill took even longer and both were delivered with attitude. The next morning it was the same moody attitude from different staff. Maybe it is best to grab a coffee somewhere else and enjoy everything else the hotel has to offer, because all the rest is great. We will come back but will give the lobby bar a miss.

- alisabard (10/5): Highly recommended spot in Zurich - Perfect for an overnight stop on our way to catch the Bernina Express. We stayed at the Baur au Lac and really liked it. The location is amazing — right on the lake and an easy walk to pretty much everything. The gardens and outdoor areas were honestly one of the best parts. We ended up hanging out there at the outdoor bar area more than we expected because it was just so pretty and relaxing. We even got to watch a wedding on the grounds. Our room was nice and comfortable with a good amount of space. Nothing felt worn out or tired, and we slept really well. The staff was great the whole time. Everyone was friendly and easy to talk to, and we never felt rushed or ignored. Breakfast was solid too — fresh options and good coffee - we were a bit rushed and the staff brought our cappuccinos out to us in to go cups as we were getting into our car. Overall, we had a really good experience here. It’s definitely a splurge, but it made our time in Zurich feel special. We’d stay again for sure.

- 213mariebenedictec (10/5): Simply the best in Zürich - The Baur au Lac is our home in Zurich. Every stay is a highlight. The charming staff provides a warm welcome and looks after every detail to make our stays memorable. The new Marguita Restaurant is a highlight in design, culinary experience with a warm yet uncomplicated service delivery. The Baur's Brasserie is a wonderful classic which we always enjoy to entertain our local friends starting with creative cocktails in the Baur's Bar. The location of the Baur au Lac is the best to experience Zürich's highlights. We will be back. Marie & Will

- Oliver (6/5): Wie immer angenehm aber diesmal bisschen enttäuschend. - Das Baur au Lac an und für sich und das feine Dinner in Baurs. Mir persönlich hat die die Junior Suite im 4.OG viel besser gefallen als diese im 1.OG. Zum gleichen Preis war diese Suite kleiner und weniger komfortabel. Ich war ein wenig enttäuscht.
- JPS5000000 (10/5): Wonderful hotel in the middle of Zurich. - I have stayed in dozens of luxury city hotels around the world in 40 years of business and leisure travel. This hotel is as nice as any. Have ever stayed in. Beautiful room, very quiet and, with shades down at night, very dark to sleep. Terrific staff—friendly and efficient. Great location next to the lake and walking to downtown. Just great two night stay with my wife as we toured Switzerland.
- Svetlana (10/5): -
- MRGOklahoma (10/5): Perfection! - This hotel has been family owned for 7 generations and was perfection in every sense of the world. The building and grounds were impeccable; the staff always called you by name; the room beautifully appointed and everything seemed to run on Swiss precision.
- Giries (10/5): -
- lynnshepards (10/5): Wow! - Best hotel we have gone to! Service was phenomenal. All of the staff was well trained, everyone spoke excellent English which was very helpful. Arranged a car service to the airport. The driver came in with us and guided us through the airport up to the security station. Never felt more pampered!
- Timothy (10/5): - Extremely clean and beautiful
- Christoph (1/5): - Die Kellner in der Bar haben sich um 23:00 Uhr an einem Donnerstag geweigert, Essen zu servieren und haben nicht einmal mehr Getränke angeboten. Nicht akzeptabel für ein Luxushotel.

- travelinspiration (10/5): Wonderful 3 night stay; Exceptional Service! - My husband/I recently stayed for 3 nights in a Junior Suite. We had originally booked a courtyard view since we are very light sleepers. A junior suite canal view became available earlier in the day that was newly renovated and larger so we accepted. We were between the canals where there is a small road so some noise but was able to sleep - and had asked for fan for room to help with noise/sleep quality as we do in all hotels. Their fans are very quiet so just beware, but still sufficed. We did look at the Jr Suite courtyard room and the decor quite different/not as nice so we were okay with our decision. Where this hotel really shines in many areas (and why we would return without hesitation) is service, location, and dining services. Prior to arrival I had sent many emails enquiring about the right room for our requests and always got prompt, very informative, and very kind reply's - really exceptional! Also service in the entire hotel was exceptional, including Julia at reception. We ate at Marquita for lunch one day and breakfast daily - WOW the most gorgeous settings we've ever had and great service! This hotel was great for walking the city as well as doing day trips to many areas in Switzerland, as well as Alsace region in France. Have been fortunate to stay in many luxurious 5 star hotels in Europe and this one really is over the top elegance (in all the right ways) with service second to none. Would happily stay here again many times!!

- leekZ4624VT (10/5): There is not a better hotel in the world. - I have stayed here 5-7 times a year for business for a few decades. Just there for the first time in a few years, and I never even shop for alternatives anymore. Most hotels rely on the brand name they have internationally, but deliver mediocre quality quality. You will not find a better hotel in the world, and I say that after having travelled over 4 million miles for business in my life.
