The rooms
Rooms face Lake Zurich through broad windows, with exposed concrete walls and balconies looking down to the water.
The spa
Private suites host Swedish massages, and curved timber loungers look out toward a terrace with an open-air whirlpool.
The saunas and gym
Natural salt-stone walls line the brine inhalation room beside a 90°C Finnish sauna. Next door, treadmills face full-height windows.
Restaurant Belvoir
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks across Lake Zurich, and the kitchen cooks seasonal Swiss dishes over an open charcoal grill.
How it began
The site began in 1721 as a pleasure house for concerts and balls, later hosting authors including Stefan Zweig.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
