“Baur Au Lac exists on its own plane of hospitality. I'm taken by the fact that the hotel is nestled in a private park overlooking Lake Zurich, which presents a tranquil escape, yet remains central to the city's attractions. It's old-world luxury with modern updates, and the curated wines and spirits and dedicated cigar lounge are, to me, signs of a hotel that understands its clientele.”
