Hundreds of works of art, a 4000 m² spa and epigenetic test at the service of well-being, it goes without saying that The Dolder Grand thinks big. This luxury hotel promises an experience of discovery that is as artistic as it is relaxing. It has a medical spa where people come to get a makeover, to get back in shape and even to understand what our genes need. Halfway between the forest and the city, you benefit as much from the advantages of the center of Zurich as from the tranquility of nature, and this in a very stylish universe. Family Wellness invites you to a captivating wellness journey.
A hotel in the form of an art gallery
The Dolder Grand is unquestionably one of the best hotels in Zurich. The hotel overlooks the largest city in Switzerland while being close to its center. To get there, a short 20-minute drive from the airport is enough.
For its 100th anniversary, The Dolder Grand was given a makeover in 2008 with one of the most grandiose spas and a breathtaking art collection. With over a hundred recognized works of art, this hotel literally makes art gallery officet. Art iPads are also available to learn more about the paintings and statues decorating the common areas. The works of Fernando Botero, Niki de Saint Phalle,Andy Warhol and many other prestigious artists are the pride of this extraordinary luxury hotel.
An artistic and original design
The 175 hotel rooms and suites are divided into two buildings: the historic part of the hotel and a more modern one. All are spacious and offer a view of the forest, the lake or the rooftops of Zurich. The interior is decorated with refinement and modernity. The rooms are all different with a design with circular and rounded elements with, among other things, oval-shaped sofas and furniture with elegant curves.
The four “Top Suites” are inspired by famous artists who stayed at The Dolder Grand. Take for example the Carezza Suite, whose design is influenced by the style of Alberto Giacometti. Or the Masina Suite, in reference to the Italian actress Giuletta Masina: a “small” glamorous jewel of 170 m² in a 1950s version. In addition to the original interior, these suites are all equipped with a terrace and aa private sauna.
If you dream of a panoramic view, we recommend the Golf Suite, with its avant-garde style. Located on the top floor, its terrace enjoys a 270° view! Note that some rooms, the Family Rooms, are specially designed for family stays.
Modern wellness on 4000 m²
The Dolder Grand Spa places relaxation at the heart of the guest experience. With 4000 m² of spa divided into fitness, well-being and aquatic areas, there is something for everyone. The spa is even composed of two separate parts for men and women. There we find a large swimming pool 25 meters longa jacuzzi on the terrace, a hammam, a sanarium and a mixed sauna.
You can even leaf through a few pages in the spa library, or refresh yourself with a fresh fruit juice in the Spa Café. Relaxation continues in the relaxation room, or in one of the cabins during a wellness treatment.
Several sports activities, such as yoga or pilates class, can be organized there. And if you feel like venting outside, the hotel offers you personalized fitness coaching outside.
Two Spa Suites offer what you need to suspend time: hammam, whirlpool, spiral shower and fireplace. They can be reserved for a minimum of two hours, with or without additional treatments. Also note that they can be an opportunity for a moment for two with a purifying treatment based on Amala organic massage oil, all accompanied by a glass of champagne. Chin!
State-of-the-art care with epigenetic testing
The treatments on the spa menu are listed under different well-being objectives: relaxation, beauty, vitality and detox. All are delicately provided by well-being experts and using very specific products from three major brands:
- Amala with high-end 100% natural products based on plant active ingredients and modern biochemical techniques.
- The Meadow with beauty products based on luxurious elements such as caviar.
- Dr Burgener notably with rejuvenating cosmetics and its totally personalized Haute Couture programme.
Wellness experiences for body and soul are also offered. We note in particular the “Meditation Walk”: the spa invites its guests to walk mindfully on a course specially designed for a journey around the senses. With binaural sound in the background, one is guided through various meditation techniques.
To complete its wellness offer, The Dolder Grand has great expertise in field of body and nutritional analyzes.
Customers can first make a cardio scan, which is an analysis of physical fitness and body composition. This includes a electrocardiogram as well as recording and evaluating heart rate variability and stress levels, metabolism, body composition and blood pressure.
It is also one of the only hotels offering analyzes taking into account epigenetic factors. The environment and the way we live can impact how our genes work. What’s on your plate also influences the expression of your genes… With the SWAMI Genotype analysis, you can find out what are thefoods best suited to your genotype, and those to avoid. This scan only takes 90 minutes. This is time well invested!
Style even on the plate
At the restaurant Saltz, typical and regional products are honored in a kitchen open to the world. Between the savory creations of chef Julian Mai and the delicacies of pastry chef Christian Hümbs, there is plenty to enjoy! The original interior designed by Rolf Sachs is in keeping with chef Julian Mai’s philosophy of “simplistic sophistication” on the menu. The restaurant has been awarded 14 Gault Millau points. In summer, the terrace is open to enjoy a good meal outdoors.
