Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich will open its doors this winter following a full multi-million-dollar renovation, bringing Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service to the heart of the city.
Nestled in the heart of Zurich, the Mandarin Oriental Savoy is poised to make its grand entrance onto the city’s luxury hotel scene this winter. This iconic landmark, steeped in history and elegantly revamped, promises to deliver an extraordinary blend of modern luxury and historic charm, all under the renowned banner of Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service.
Established by Johannes Baur in 1838, the Mandarin Oriental Savoy boasts the distinction of being Zurich’s inaugural grand hotel. Positioned on the prestigious Paradeplatz, it sits just a stone’s throw away from the emporiums of high-end fashion, the storied old town, and the enchanting promenade leading to the shimmering Lake Zurich. This distinguished establishment is poised to become the city’s most coveted address, seamlessly fusing timeless elegance with contemporary sophistication.
A Symphony of Design and Décor
The interiors of this hotel are the result of meticulous craftsmanship by Paris-based interior designer Tristan Auer. With a keen eye for blending historical nuances with modern aesthetics, Auer has selected a color palette that harmonizes seamlessly with the hotel’s surroundings. Exquisite design elements and materials, including artisan hand-painted silk wallpapers, grace the rooms and exude a contemporary style that intriguingly contrasts with the building’s historic façade.
Among the 44 rooms and 36 suites, many feature balconies, terraces, or private rooftops, each offering breathtaking vistas of Zurich’s landmarks and the majestic Swiss Alps. The Mandarin Oriental Savoy showcases some of the city’s most expansive suites, including a lavish four-bedroom apartment spanning an impressive 275 square meters, where modern luxury intertwines effortlessly with time-honored charm.
A Feast for the Senses
Guests are invited to embark on a gastronomic journey within the hotel’s four enchanting dining venues. The intimate and sophisticated ORSINI, helmed by Consultant Chef Antonio Guida, renowned for his two-Michelin-starred Seta restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Milan, presents authentic Italian culinary traditions with a contemporary international twist, utilizing the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
For those seeking a more casual dining experience, the French-inspired Savoy Brasserie & Bar offers all-day dining and signature cocktails. Guests can also unwind in the refined Mandarin Lounge or ascend to the breathtaking 1838 rooftop bar, which offers panoramic views of Zurich and tantalizing Asian delicacies.
