The Dolder Grand

A grand hotel on the wooded edge of Zurich.

TYPE OF PLACE
City resort
ACCOMMODATION
175 rooms & suites
SETTING
Hillside / city
01

City resort,
in its own terms.

The Dolder Grand opened in 1899 as a hotel and health retreat. Its position on the Adlisberg places it between the city and a greener hillside setting, rather than directly in Zurich’s street-level centre.

02

What the accommodation
actually looks like.

The property lists 175 rooms and suites and a 4,000-square-metre spa. An art collection of more than 100 works is part of the hotel’s public identity, alongside its accommodation and restaurants.

03

The distinction
worth remembering.

The scale of the spa and the hillside location explain the operator’s description of the property as a city resort. It offers a different model from a small urban address designed mainly as a base for walking around a neighbourhood.
