Located in one of Zurich’s most prestigious addresses, Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich offers an intimate take on urban luxury in the heart of the city. Situated on Paradeplatz and housed within a landmark building dating back to 1838, the hotel seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary design, creating a refined sanctuary for travellers seeking both style and substance.
Just moments from the Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most exclusive shopping avenues, as well as Zurich’s Old Town and the scenic promenade leading to Lake Zurich, the hotel places guests at the centre of the city’s cultural and leisure landscape. Museums, galleries, boutiques and restaurants are all within walking distance, making it an ideal base for those looking to experience Zurich through a more curated, luxury lens.
The building itself carries a remarkable legacy. Formerly known as Hotel Baur en Ville, it has hosted a distinguished list of guests over the decades, including Franz Liszt, Charles Dickens and Richard Wagner. Today, that same sense of heritage remains woven into the experience, most notably in the preserved guildhall, where the Guild of Tanners and Shoemakers has been meeting since 1920. The space now serves as a unique and atmospheric meeting room, offering a rare glimpse into Zurich’s past.
Innovation has always played a role in the property’s story. As early as 1838, the hotel was home to one of the world’s first rooftop bars, the Belvédère, where guests would take in sweeping views of Lake Zurich from a terrace surrounded by blossoming orange trees. Orders were communicated to the kitchen through a speaking tube and delivered using one of the first modern food elevators, reflecting a pioneering spirit that continues to define the hotel today.
Now reimagined under the Mandarin Oriental name, the Savoy stands as a destination in its own right. Whether visiting for a weekend of shopping and fine dining or as a cultural stop on a wider European journey, the hotel offers a sophisticated retreat where Zurich’s heritage meets modern luxury.
Rooms & Suites
The rooms and suites offer a refined blend of heritage elegance and contemporary comfort. Thoughtfully designed with a soft, neutral palette, each space features bespoke furnishings, marble bathrooms and understated detailing that reflects the building’s historic character while embracing modern luxury.

Spacious suites provide separate living areas, creating an inviting setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
