Dolder Grand Zurich
Nature and/or Luxury in the Skies
Dolder Grand is not an ordinary hotel but a dreamy, luxurious castle in the skies of Zürich (700 m above sea level). From spas and brunches to exclusive dinner experiences, Dolder Grand has everything to please a wealthy soul. On the contrary, the area around the hotel makes a cheap but exciting getaway from the concrete jungle of Zürich. You can still enjoy the view from the hotel terrace and get coffee there. For an active getaway, follow one of the tens of hiking paths to wander in the forest, or navigate to Loorenkopf for an overview of the whole city with the Alps in the background.
From May to September, you can enjoy a swim surrounded by the Züriberg forest. For just 9 CHF you get to swim in the 50m outdoor pool and relax in their sunbathing areas. Check out their calendar for theme days at the pool!
To reach the hotel and the surroundings, navigate with the public to Römerhof and take, what is probably one of the cheapest funiculars in Switzerland, up to the final stop. It is a part of the public transport network, so it is included in a city ticket.
