The famed health spa/hotel has an amaising location overlooking Lake Zürich and the Alps. The grand hotel has been re-fashioned by a star team of Foster and Partners, interior design by United Designers, also of London, and the spa concept by Arizona based Sylvia Sepielli.
The Dolder Grand Spa is a lush, 4 000 square metre complex, created according to a concept developed by the spa expert Sylvia Sepielli and reflecting European and Japanese influences. It comprises a large Aqua Zone, 21 treatment rooms, workout, movement and mind/body studios and a medical wellness centre.
Four high end suites inspired by four famed guests. The topmost, 4,300 square-foot (400 square-meter) Maestro Suite in the style of Herbert von Karajan. This sweeping two-level suite features a circular tower dining room, red leather chairs, dark timbers, pale-marble bathrooms with whirlpools and steam showers (and one with a sauna), massive windows and a lounge style terrace.
Surrealist Alberto Giacometti inspired the Carezza Suite on the top floor of the spa wing. Organic shapes, a peaceful and warm lounge feel, and an ultra modern fireplace. The two-bedroom suite has a separate living room, TV lounge and marble bathrooms.
Suite 100: Inspired by the Rolling Stones. The mood of the interior is set by retro-style furniture and a predominantly black and pink décor redolent of the Swinging Sixties.
Giulietta Masina suite, actress and wife of Federico Fellini. A little glamour of the 1950s cinema. the Masina Suite on the top floor of the Spa Wing has a distinctive Italian interior. At the centre of the generously sized living room is an elegant, light-coloured Fendi sofa, and the suite offers another attractive facility in the shape of a billiard table.

The hotel is gorgeous. The second from the last suite with the elaborate beams and perfect wood floors is more than spectacular. Photography is warm yet crisp. The location as shown in the first photo must be a wonderful destination for vacationers. I love these photos.
This is quite a bit better than Holiday Inn. Only for the Madonnas and royalty of this world though. Guess the rest of us will save for our kid’s college fund and stick with Holiday Inn.

The first picture reminds me of a castle from out of a fairy tale. Is there a prince? I like the room made for the Stones (As in Rolling Stones that over the hill rock band).
Nice digs. The old world castle look of the exterior belies the modern interior. Rather stark in comparison. Room with wooden beamed ceilings has more warmth than the others however. Very trendy but a bit impersonal excepting for that one suite.

The terminology for this perspective technique is ? (not in my memory) but I love the way the photographer draws one into the picture in each shot. As if the viewer is being drawn in via virtual gravity each photo says, “Come to this lovely place” as one’s line of vision is gently forced to meet that spot deep within, as if compelling one to travel to that exact spot.
Maybe Im drunk most a the time but can see that place is really pretty. Theyd kick me out before I got to the front door. Hey do they have that fancy vodka maybe Ill try to go.
This is a lovely place and very well-photographed. I imagine their regular rooms and suites are just as accommodating. It is a pleasure to see the specialty suites though.
I’d like to spend a night in a room the Stones stayed in or inspired or whatever. Live in like reflected glory. Those dudes knew how to party with capital P.:)
What an incredible place to stay if you ever went to Zurich. It’s so nice!!!
I noticed the impersonal feel as well … didn’t see one photo hanging on the wall.
