Open as of mid December 2023, the venerated Mandarin Oriental group is excited to present its third establishment in Switzerland, marking the arrival of its renowned hospitality to Zurich, the country’s largest city.
Situated on the renowned Paradeplatz, the Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich stands as an iconic landmark hotel just moments away from the prestigious Bahnhofstrasse with its upscale fashion boutiques, the historic old town, and a charming promenade leading to Lake Zurich.
The history of Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich traces back to Christmas Eve in 1838, when Johannes Baur, a young baker from Vorarlberg in Austria, founded the city’s inaugural grand hotel, the Hotel Baur. Exactly 185 years later, on the days preceding Christmas, this historic icon is rejuvenated, reopening its doors to global travelers and the local community after an extensive renovation.
Esteemed Paris-based interior designer Tristan Auer was the mastermind behind the reimagination of Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich, seamlessly blending historical elements with contemporary style. The hotel’s guest rooms and suites, designed for both aesthetics and functionality, provide intimate havens of relaxation and comfort inspired by the city’s colors and Zurich’s modern art scene. Many of the 44 rooms and 36 suites feature spacious terraces and private rooftops, complemented by meticulously crafted living spaces.
