“It strikes me as a place steeped in Zurich's history, a family-owned establishment since 1889 that has clearly seen its share of significant moments. I imagine the Lobster Bar, a renowned culinary spot, makes for an exceptional experience, while its location-mere steps from the main train station-is hard to beat. From what I gather, this hotel could easily serve as both a luxurious city escape and a convenient hub for business.”
