Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich in Switzerland is set to open some time in the European winter, after a multi-million-dollar renovation.
Previously the Savoy Baur en Ville hotel, the property was Zurich’s first grand hotel, founded by Johannes Baur in 1838. It is located on the famous Paradeplatz, close to luxury fashion houses, the historic old town, and the promenade that leads to Lake Zurich.
The hotel will be Mandarin Oriental’s second Swiss outpost, joining the Mandarin Oriental Geneva.
Switzerland remains a popular destination for luxury Australian travellers. As APAC Director of Switzerland Tourism, Simon Bosshart, shared with Karryon, Australian visitation to Switzerland was averaging around 400,000 room nights per year prior to the pandemic.
Interior design
Renowned Paris-based interior designer Tristan Auer led the design project. The updated interiors merge historical details with modern style elements. Materials used throughout include artisan hand-painted silk wallpapers.
Many of the hotel’s 44 rooms and 36 suites include balconies, terraces or private rooftops, affording views of Zurich’s landmarks and the Swiss Alps. Mandarin Oriental Savoy features some of the city’s largest suites, including a four-bedroom apartment spanning 275 square metres.
Dining
Guests will be able to dine at the hotel’s four culinary venues. ORSINI offers fine Italian dining led by Consultant Chef Antonio Guida, from the two-Michelin-starred Seta restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Milan.
The French-inspired Savoy Brasserie & Bar will offer all-day dining and signature cocktails. Mandarin Lounge will offer casual dining, while the 1838 rooftop bar will serve Asian cuisine.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is offering a Be the First to Stay package for its guests. Visit Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich for further information.
