Renowned as Zurich’s top address since 1899, the Dolder Grand, is a city resort like no other, and continues to attract Gulf travellers to its unequalled position on the edge of the city.
With its stunning views of the Alps and Lake Zurich, as well as its proximity to Zurich’s most beautiful nature and wilderness zones and downtown locations for shopping, art, and entertainment, the Dolder Grand provides the luxe surroundings that Gulf travellers expect from high-end European hotels. With an ever-increasing number of travellers from the GCC, the property has evolved its offering to cater directly to this market.
“Zurich and the Dolder Grand is open for guests and we’re looking forward to a new season. Ensuring the safety of our guests is a primary concern, and we will continue to follow a strict health concept for the pandemic, in line with the World Health Organisation. This new year has some great events to look forward to as well as offering some of Zurich’s most exciting opportunities to enjoy the city from our elevated position,” said the hotel’s General Manager, Markus Granelli.
Through Saltz restaurant, guests can enjoy some authentic Arabic flavours, thanks to the talents of Oriental Chef de Cuisine, Firas El-Borji. Chef’s creations can also be enjoyed in the privacy of guest rooms or at the Lobby & Bar.
Two of the Top Suites have been designed specifically with Arab guests in mind: the Carezza and Terrazza suite. Covering 2,300 sq ft, the Carezza’s vaulted ceilings and cutting-edge design provides plenty of space for guests to come together either in the luxurious interior, or on the terrace that surrounds the entire suite, providing unique views of Zurich, the lake, and the Swiss Alps.
