About the Dolder Grand The Dolder Grand is a 175-room city resort nestled in the hills over- looking the vibrant lakeside city of Zurich and the picturesque Swiss Alps. Since opening its doors in 1899, the legendary hotel has played host to numerous international artists, renowned musicians, and prom- inent dignitaries, and over the years has established itself as a must- see culinary, wellness, and arts destination with a host of accolades to its name. Reimagined by acclaimed architect Lord Norman Foster in 2008, The Dolder Grand’s historic, castle-like façade serves as a contrast to the impressive contemporary art collection housed within the hotel, including works by Salvador Dalí, Takashi Murakami, and Jani Leinonen. The Dolder Grand offers four distinct, and highly innovative dining concepts: The Restaurant (2-Michelin star and 19 GaultMillau points), Mikuriya (16 GaultMillau points), Saltz (15 GaultMillau points), and a new seasonal vegan/vegetarian garden restaurant, blooms (14 GaultMillau points). These remarkable culinary offerings, in addition to rotating pop-ups such as the Grand Meatery, reaffirm the hotel’s standing as a place of daring culinary experimentation – which most recently earned it the title of GaultMillau’s ‘Hotel of the Year 2024’. The Dolder Spa is over 4,000 sq. meters and features an expansive indoor pool, hot and cold plunge pools, sauna, steam, aroma pool, solarium, snow room, meditation room, a sun-soaked outdoor terrace, and more. A proud member of Leading Hotels of the World, Swiss Deluxe Hotels, and Responsible Hotels of Switzerland, the world- class city resort masters the art of Swiss hospitality and invites guests to enjoy the magic of Zurich in the most memorable of settings. In 2024, The Dolder Grand is celebrating its 125th anniversary – a perfect reason to experience this wellness utopia for yourself. 302 | Simply Abu Dhabi
