PalaceHeritageBusinessIconique

Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich settles on the Paradeplatz, at the exact centre of the Swiss banking district, in a Belle Époque building rebuilt after the fire of 1898. We enter through a high-ceilinged hall, light marble and crystal chandeliers, without excessive ostentation. The rooms, all non-smoking, focus on noble materials and generous bedding rather than technological gadgets. The fitness centre remains modest compared to the spas of the grand Geneva palaces, but suffices for a quick session before a meeting. Free Wi-Fi everywhere, room service and airport shuttle facilitate a stay where time matters more than tourist folklore. Count from 1 621 € per night, a rate that places the address among the most expensive in Switzerland, without the experience always overflowing with audacity. We go there for the position, not for extravagance 😌.

Who is it for?

Who we recommend it to

We recommend this address to business travellers who want to be within walking distance of the banks and the Bahnhofstrasse, not to those seeking total change of scenery. Families find adapted rooms and uncomplicated welcome for pets, but the atmosphere remains hushed, more corporate than festive. It is a hotel for those seeking Swiss efficiency wrapped in marble, not for an exuberant honeymoon.

The building

Architecture and interiors

The building occupies a corner of the Paradeplatz, rebuilt in Belle Époque style after the fire of 1898 that destroyed the original establishment. Classic façade, generous ceiling heights, hall dressed in light marble and crystal chandeliers. The whole remains sober for a palace of this category, closer to the surrounding banking style than to the flamboyant decor sometimes associated with the genre.
