Seestrasse 182, 8800 Thalwil, Switzerland

Price from USD 505

“Haven on the Water’s Edge”

City and lake in equal measure, Zürichsee lures us year-round with its luxe Badi-Kultur, unabashed ultramarine and bracing Alpine air. Perched on the western shore like a modernist box of Swiss chocolates, Alex Lake Zürich is intoxicatingly intimate, with sublime waterfront studios and suites framing larger-than-life lake views. With its private launch, the city’s old-world wonders (and two sister properties, Storchen and Widder) are within watery reach — as easy as getting from A to Z.

What we love

Where else is Badi behavior so swimmingly celebrated? Dive in, set sail, paddle around, or let your eyes linger. Fancy a picnic? Perhaps a boat-nic? Alex’s crew know the best spots, both urban and wild. Fine fare, fed by nature, is something of a house speciality, a winsome pairing with the popular waterside terrace. Come warm weather, locals become well and truly unbuttoned. They’ve long known Zurich is the best summer city you never knew about.
