The Dolder Grand

Hilltop Alpine Splendor & Urban Energy

Zurich's Legendary City Resort High Above the City

Perched majestically on the forested slopes of Adlisberg hill overlooking Zurich since 1899, The Dolder Grand is a world-renowned luxury City Resort in the truest sense of the word. Originally opened as the Dolder Grand Hotel & Curhaus, the landmark underwent a visionary architectural transformation led by world-famous architect Lord Norman Foster (Foster + Partners), who seamlessly united the restored historic Belle Époque castle with two curving contemporary wings—the Spa Wing and the Golf Wing.

Offering 175 exquisitely designed rooms and suites, the resort commands sweeping panoramic views over the city of Zurich, Lake Zurich, and the snow-capped Swiss Alps. Guests enjoy direct access to tranquil nature paths, an adjacent 9-hole golf course, and the historic Dolderbahn rack railway, connecting guests down to the center of Zurich in under 10 minutes.

Beyond its architectural magnificence, The Dolder Grand is an open-air museum: the hotel showcases an extraordinary private art collection featuring more than 100 verified original works by legendary masters including Andy Warhol (such as the monumentally scaled 11-meter "Big Retrospective Painting" crowning the lobby), Salvador Dalí, Fernando Botero, Takashi Murakami, and Joan Miró.
