    One of my favorite things to do in Zurich is to take the Lake Boat ride which goes all around the lake and stops at various villages along the way. One can get off the boat, explore the village, and then get back on the next boat. As with everything in Switzerland it’s all precisely timed. What delightful memories I have.

    5-star hotel in Zurich-Hottingen on the western slope of the Adlisberg. Guests were: Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Haile Selassie, Albert Einstein, Yehudi Menuhin, Thomas Mann, Winston Churchill, Walt Disney, Sophia Loren and the Rolling Stones. Big thanks for upload!

    We visited Zurich in 2017 and it is one of the most fabulous places we've had the privilege to visit. Climbing Mt. Pilatus, Trummelbach falls in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, the Golden Pass sightseeing train from Lucerne...a wide array of stunning things to see and do. We will definitely be making a return visit in the coming years!

    Turning in tonight with dreams of the incredible view of the Swiss Alps from this classic hotel. The al fresco restaurant Saltz feels like an ideal place to sip a drink with a loved one gazing at the stunning Swiss landscape. This place seems like a veritable museum. A virtual treat for all the senses. Thank you doc for introducing us to such an elevated lifestyle.

    Yep, it's a very nice walk going upside by foot through the hill (watching the houses' gardens full in bloom in summer), the area gong the Dolder is so full of green and trees, you can feel the fresh air... the view is magic up there and the food at the Restaurant is so unique, and the right expensive :) I really miss Zurich and the experience at Dolder, see you there, one day... be well you all, Peace.

My great-aunt knew them and would visit the place loads of times in the past. I am also hoping to find family while we visit there. See you soon

I wish you would stayed in one of the top suites in main building . You should went to Zurich for at least a month later to show the wonderful nature of zurich in spring .

    I can realy recommend the Dolder Sunday-Brunch.❤ It costed 100.- Fr. for each person, but the food was extrordinary.. from normal breakfast foods to champagne and up to a big variety of cooked foods (already Lunch-stuff) everything fully fresh and all you can eat. And the self made chocolate was absolutley amazing. Very calm place, extremley clean, very friendly staff. 5 stars indeed.. If you intend to spend a night there, i would recommend to ask specifically to NOT getting put into the room where that murder-case happend. But thats just my personal recommendation... 😅
