Our stay at the @bauraulac was magical, we had the best time in Zürich. The Baur Au Lac is located next to the lake, the old town and busiest shopping streets. So everything you look for is close and you can easily walk around. We had the chance to stay in a junior suite which was waaay bigger then we expected. We had a huge bathroom facing the canal with marble shower and bathtub. The rooms are kinda the style of hotel rooms I like: artsy, art-deco but with a modern twist like the tablet you can use to make reservations at the restaurants, order room service or a different pillow every night. We tought it couldn’t get any better but when we saw the breakfast on the next morning we were truly in heaven. It’s served in a pavilion and they have eggs benedict, pancakes with the best apple puree you’ll ever eat and the best hot chocolate. Speaking about food we also had the chance to eat at their restaurant Rive Gauche and enjoyed chicken and gambas as well as a variation of deserts and my friend Larissa fell in love with the Creme Brulee she still talks about 🙂 The hotel team also showed us the fitness center and bigger suites facing the lake (you can see them in the pictures). All in all it was a perfect stay with high class food and service and we would like to come back! Thank you very much Baur Au Lac for the experience!
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
When we arrived at the Priva Lodge we were driving trough a snow storm and had no idea how the landscape around the hotel was. On the next day we were suprised by sunshine and a beautiful view over the hotel area. Our apartment had a kitchen and sauna which was great. We walked to the lift station which is only 5 minutes away and bought a ticket for 42,- to get to the top. From there I had the most amazing view ever over thousands of mountains and even the hotel which you can see in the far distance. Unfortunately our stay was really short, so we didn’t made it to the frozen lake next to the hotel or sledding or skiing. There are also tons of activities you can do, I heard of art themed sculpure parks and cross-country skiing, iceskating and winter hikes. I think the view from the Rothorn Gipfel must be amazing in summer as well and I would love to come back. We also enjoyed a traditional cheese and chocolate fondue in a small cottage located in the middle of the hotel area. Mhhh, this was sooo good! I would say the Priva Lodge is perfect when you’re traveling with your family but for me personally there was too much action in the pool area and the service and maps were a bit confusing. I think it’s the perfect hotel if you love winter sports and I would love to visit in summer again.
