Not even a welcome drink or water when we arrived. Breakfast good service but very boring selection of food. Dry pancakes and croissants from the grocery store?

I am hoarse from bleating about this hotel on every site on which it is mentioned. If you are, by nature, slightly old-fashioned, non-woke and, in my case, arthritic, there is no hotel to compare. I have now stayed here four times and, whilst it may require a small mortgage to afford its luxury, it is worth every soux. Being forgetful, as well as arthritic, I managed to mislay my shaving kit. The BAL had the answer.......a boxed set of soap and a razor with a wooden handle. For God's sake, a wooden handle! That small detail is what sets this Shangri-la apart from all others. I want to stay forever.......because, unless the good Lord decides otherwise, I certainly won't live forever.

Hotel was dog friendly, but we were stopped at the entrance to the lobby/bar area. It appeared our doggy was only allowed to be in the room.

The Baur au Lac exemplified luxury and comfort, and I can't wait to return when I'm next in Zurich. I didn't have the opportunity to try their more formal restaurant - Pavillon - but the more casual Baur's was brilliant, with stellar renditions of Swiss and Austro-German classics.
10.0 / 10.0
Truly eloquent and luxurious in every way. What’s even more is how wholesome the entire staff was and how “at home” they made me and my family feel.
Was grateful and honored to stay at one of the preeminent hotels in the world.
5.0 / 10.0
Everything about the hotel is perfect, except maybe the oddly designed driveway, resulting in a cramped and inefficient traffic flow. This might be the only flaw in an otherwise wonderful property.
5.0 / 10.0
Classic and classy place to stay. Beautiful decor, flowers in hotel amazing. Be sure to walk around the gardens if you are there. In house restaurant The Baur is the more informal place to eat . Atmosphere friendly and the service was great.
3.0 / 10.0
Once again, amazing. This was not our first stay and it will not be the last. If it’s old world service and elegance, you need look n further.
Can’t wait to return.

All in all fantastic
4.0 / 10.0
Hotel has great location but is under construction and you cannot access the gardens and terrace which is the best part of the hotel! It should say that in red before you book here. The room has no neospresso coffee maker which is crazy for a five star hotel. No coffee or tea maker and it makes it inconvenient. I dont want to have to wake up and deal with people or room service. The mattresses are also stiff (feels old!) but the room is clean and large. The staff is amazing!!!!
10.0 / 10.0
because of the construction going on , hotel was not at its best shape however , friendliness , upscale service culture and super good restaurant have easily been able to compensate that
