When the same family passes something down through generations – in this case six – you know it’s a time-tested keeper. For over 170 years, the Baur au Lac has been offering guests a lakeside park refuge, spoiling them with high caliber of charm and hospitality that is so hard to find in the shiny modern world today (though contemporary pursuits are not far away in this case). Warm earthtoned interiors complement the majesty of the snow-capped Alps through the windows, and fine Michelin-starred culinary offerings showcase gastronomic wonders.
