The Dolder Grand. A Swiss reset above Zurich

Perched on a hillside overlooking the city, The Dolder Grand is a destination built around pause. The setting plays a central role: wide views toward the Alps, and a sense of distance from urban noise.

In 2026, the hotel’s Spa deepens its beauty and wellbeing direction through a partnership with La Prairie. The collaboration introduces new facial rituals that treat skincare as part of a broader reset rather than an isolated cosmetic intervention. For La Prairie, the setting feels natural. Swiss heritage, scientific rigor, and restraint have always shaped the brand’s approach to skin, favoring long-term quality over fast results.

Guests can now choose from three La Prairie signature facials: White Caviar (90 minutes) for brightening and smoothing with cryotherapy and lymphatic drainage, Pure Gold (90 minutes) for replenishment using Kobido-inspired massage, and Platinum Rare (120 minutes) for deeper rejuvenation with platinum formulas and cryotherapeutic impulses.

A highlight of the new offering is the Day and Night Experience, a compact travel format designed around a full cycle of rest. An overnight stay, access to the spa, movement practices, and a La Prairie facial are arranged to follow the natural shift from activity to calm.

The spa itself spans more than 4,000 square meters and remains one of the most comprehensive urban wellness spaces in Europe. Thermal zones, quiet rooms, Japanese-inspired Sunaburo bathing, and areas dedicated to movement and recovery are laid out with clarity and restraint. The design supports a consistent, grounded atmosphere.

What makes The Dolder Grand relevant now is a composed alternative to overstimulating wellness travel, where restoration comes through environment, rhythm, and thoughtful care. For travelers from the Middle East and Europe, it presents a calm counterpoint. A place where beauty, rest, and travel align quietly and effectively.
