What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
stylish Art Deco-accented interiors, up-to-date traveler-friendly services and comforts, and a glamorous restaurant and lounge set right on the shores of the lake.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face the Utoquai promenade, with historic lake baths directly across the street and the Opera House a six-minute walk away.
The rooms
Rooms use a tailored palette of navy and grey with curved headboards. Waterfront rooms look straight across the lake.
The spa & gym
Restaurant
Studio Bellerive
The restaurant serves grilled classics from Swiss farms, and bartenders mix cocktails behind a fluted brass counter.
At the table
Checkerboard floors and green armchairs fill the bar salon, which opens into an adjacent cigar lounge.
How it began
The hotel opened in 1932, and its former garage later served as the soundstage for the cult comedy sketch Dinner for One.
