Why Stay at Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich
Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich offers one of the most prestigious five-star hotel experiences in the centre of Zurich.
Occupying a historic building on Paradeplatz, the hotel combines an extraordinary location with the contemporary hospitality standards of Mandarin Oriental.
Its history dates back to 1838, when Johannes Baur established what became Zurich’s first grand hotel.
Following an extensive renovation, the property reopened as Mandarin Oriental Savoy in December 2023.
Today, it offers 80 rooms and suites, including 36 suites, with interiors redesigned by Parisian designer Tristan Auer.
Michelin-starred dining at ORSINI, the Savoy Brasserie & Bar, Mandarin Lounge and the seasonal rooftop bar 1838 provide several distinct dining and social experiences.
The hotel’s position is equally important.
Bahnhofstrasse begins immediately beside Paradeplatz, while Zurich’s Old Town, major financial institutions and Lake Zurich are all within convenient walking distance.
For travellers seeking a central luxury hotel with historical character, sophisticated design and personalised international service, Mandarin Oriental Savoy is one of the city’s most compelling addresses.
Zurich’s First Grand Hotel, Established in 1838
Mandarin Oriental Savoy occupies a special place in the history of Swiss luxury hospitality.
The property traces its origins to Christmas Eve 1838, when Johannes Baur, an Austrian entrepreneur from Vorarlberg, opened the original Hotel Baur.
It is regarded as Zurich’s first grand hotel.
Over the following decades, the property developed into one of the city’s most established addresses for international visitors.
The hotel later became known as Savoy Baur en Ville, maintaining its connection with Zurich’s commercial and cultural life.
Its historical guest list includes figures such as Charles Dickens, Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt.
The location on Paradeplatz gradually became even more significant as Zurich developed into an international financial centre.
Rather than relocating or abandoning this history, Mandarin Oriental undertook an extensive renovation of the existing property.
The hotel reopened on 21 December 2023, approximately 185 years after its original foundation.
The result preserves the identity of a historic Zurich institution while introducing contemporary interiors, technology and hospitality services.
For travellers who appreciate hotels with a genuine connection to their destination, this heritage gives Mandarin Oriental Savoy a distinctive identity.
An Exceptional Address on Paradeplatz
Location is one of Mandarin Oriental Savoy’s clearest advantages.
The hotel stands directly on Paradeplatz, one of Zurich’s most recognisable squares.
Paradeplatz lies at the southern end of Bahnhofstrasse, close to the historic commercial and financial centre.
Some of Switzerland’s best-known financial institutions are located around the square.
The surrounding streets also contain luxury boutiques, watchmakers, jewellers and international fashion houses.
This makes Mandarin Oriental Savoy particularly convenient for travellers combining shopping, business appointments and sightseeing.
Guests can leave the hotel and reach Bahnhofstrasse almost immediately.
The historic streets around Münsterhof and the Fraumünster are only a short walk away.
Lake Zurich is also within convenient walking distance.
Unlike hotels located further from the centre, Mandarin Oriental Savoy allows much of a city itinerary to be completed without relying on taxis or private vehicles.
For visitors whose priorities are luxury shopping, business meetings or exploring Zurich on foot, the Paradeplatz location is a substantial advantage.
Contemporary Interiors by Tristan Auer
The redesign of Mandarin Oriental Savoy was entrusted to Parisian interior designer Tristan Auer.
His approach combines the atmosphere of the historic grand hotel with a contemporary design language inspired by Zurich.
Rather than recreating nineteenth-century interiors, Auer introduced a more restrained interpretation of luxury.
Natural materials, carefully selected textiles, decorative bronze, wood and refined colour palettes appear throughout the hotel.
Shades of green, blue, grey and warm earth tones reflect the surrounding Swiss landscape.
Many interiors also feature customised furniture, decorative wallpaper and commissioned artwork.
The relationship between historical architecture and contemporary design is particularly evident in the public spaces.
Original architectural elements have been preserved or reinterpreted alongside new furnishings and lighting.
The grand staircase and historic rooms retain an atmosphere connected with the building’s past.
Guest accommodation introduces a quieter, more contemporary aesthetic.
The result is neither a purely traditional grand hotel nor a minimalist modern property.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy offers a balance between the two, making it particularly attractive to travellers who value historical surroundings but prefer contemporary accommodation.
Rooms and Suites
Mandarin Oriental Savoy offers 80 rooms and suites.
The collection consists of 44 rooms and 36 suites.
Accommodation ranges from relatively compact rooms for individual travellers to large residential-style suites occupying the upper levels of the hotel.
The Superior Single Room measures approximately 23 square metres.
It provides accommodation for one guest, with views towards the city or Paradeplatz.
Superior Double Rooms measure approximately 21 to 30 square metres and overlook the hotel’s quieter courtyard.
These rooms provide a more restrained option for guests who prioritise comfort and location over extensive interior space.
Deluxe Rooms measure approximately 33 to 42 square metres.
They provide additional seating areas and views towards either the courtyard or historic landmarks.
Selected Deluxe Terrace Rooms include private outdoor space and views above the surrounding streets.
Junior Suites measure approximately 44 to 52 square metres.
They offer larger living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows and, in selected configurations, balconies or terraces.
Across the categories, marble bathrooms, carefully selected furnishings, complimentary minibars and Diptyque bathroom products contribute to a consistent standard of comfort.
However, layouts and views can vary considerably.
Travellers should choose accommodation according to their priorities rather than assuming that every room category offers the same outlook or outdoor space.
Corner Suites Overlooking Paradeplatz
The Corner Suite with Balcony is one of Mandarin Oriental Savoy’s most distinctive accommodation categories.
Measuring approximately 60 square metres, it overlooks Paradeplatz and Bahnhofstrasse.
The suite combines a king-size bedroom with a comfortable sitting area.
A private balcony provides an unusually direct connection with the surrounding city.
From this position, guests can observe the daily activity of one of Zurich’s most famous squares.
The interiors feature walnut, bronze, brass and carefully selected textiles inspired by the surrounding landscape.
The marble bathroom includes both a bathtub and walk-in shower.
Some Corner Suites can also connect with additional accommodation.
For travellers visiting Zurich specifically for shopping, business or cultural activities around the Old Town, the Corner Suite offers a particularly attractive combination of space and location.
It also provides a more individual experience than a conventional courtyard-facing room.
The Zurich Suite
The Zurich Suite measures approximately 60 square metres.
It is located within the historic Savoy building and takes its decorative inspiration from the city itself.
Warm colours, handcrafted furniture and custom textiles create an atmosphere that feels more residential than a standard hotel room.
The suite provides a separate living area.
Selected configurations also include a dining space.
The marble bathroom features a bathtub, walk-in shower and double vanity.
For couples or individual travellers planning a longer stay, the additional separation between sleeping and living areas can be particularly useful.
The Zurich Suite is also suitable for guests who want to work or receive a visitor without using their bedroom as the principal sitting space.
Unlike the larger penthouse configurations, it provides generous accommodation without requiring an extensive residential layout.
The Historic Orsini Wing
Not all accommodation at Mandarin Oriental Savoy is located within the same architectural environment.
The historic Orsini Wing forms a distinctive part of the property.
Elements of this wing date back to the fourteenth century, giving selected suites a character different from the main Savoy building.
The Orsini Suite measures approximately 80 square metres.
It combines warm interior colours, exposed architectural details and views across Zurich’s Old Town.
A kitchenette and larger living spaces reinforce its residential atmosphere.
The Münsterhof Suite offers approximately 65 square metres and overlooks the historic Münsterhof square.
Its interiors combine contemporary comfort with the character of the older building.
There is, however, an important practical consideration.
Selected rooms and suites in the Orsini Wing are accessible only by stairs.
The hotel can assist with luggage, but travellers with reduced mobility or those who prefer lift access should confirm their exact accommodation before booking.
This distinction is particularly important for older guests and families travelling with young children.
The Presidential Suite
The Presidential Suite is one of the hotel’s principal signature accommodations.
Measuring approximately 200 square metres, it occupies an upper level of the property.
The suite is designed around a residential concept rather than simply providing an oversized bedroom.
A separate living room, private office, dining area and fully equipped kitchen create considerable flexibility.
The dining area can accommodate up to eight guests.
The kitchen includes appliances suitable for preparing or serving meals privately.
Custom furnishings, selected artworks and a warm colour palette reinforce the atmosphere of a sophisticated city residence.
The private office makes the suite particularly relevant for business travellers who require a dedicated working environment.
It can also accommodate private meetings or informal entertaining.
For couples, families or guests staying in Zurich for an extended period, the Presidential Suite provides considerably more independence than conventional hotel accommodation.
Multi-Bedroom Suites and the Royal Suite
Mandarin Oriental Savoy also offers several larger accommodation configurations for families and private groups.
The Two-Bedroom Presidential Suite measures approximately 244 square metres.
It combines two bedrooms with substantial living and dining areas.
The Three-Bedroom Presidential Suite extends to approximately 280 square metres and can accommodate up to eight guests.
Additional penthouse configurations include two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom arrangements with private living areas and selected outdoor spaces.
One of the hotel’s most unusual options is the Six Bedroom Royal Suite.
This connected suite configuration measures approximately 252 square metres and accommodates up to 13 guests.
It provides six bedrooms across connected accommodation, allowing large families or private groups to remain together.
The hotel’s personal concierge can assist with family arrangements, private excursions and additional requirements.
This configuration is particularly interesting for multigenerational travellers, high-profile guests and families travelling with a nanny or additional personnel.
Unlike booking several unrelated rooms across different floors, these arrangements allow a greater level of privacy and coordination.
ORSINI: Michelin-Starred Italian Dining
ORSINI is Mandarin Oriental Savoy’s signature fine-dining restaurant.
It provides a contemporary interpretation of Italian gastronomy within one of Zurich’s most historic hotel buildings.
The restaurant is led by Executive Chef Dario Moresco, working in close collaboration with consultant chef Antonio Guida.
Guida is associated with the two-Michelin-starred Seta restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Milan.
At ORSINI, the culinary approach combines Italian traditions with contemporary techniques and carefully selected ingredients.
The menu focuses on refined interpretations of recognisable Italian flavours.
Seasonal ingredients, precise preparation and thoughtful presentation are central to the experience.
The dining room also has a distinctive artistic identity.
A porcelain installation by artist Livia Marin adds an unusual contemporary element to the historic surroundings.
ORSINI currently holds One MICHELIN Star and 17 Gault&Millau points.
The restaurant is particularly well suited to guests who consider gastronomy an important part of their hotel choice.
It also attracts diners from outside the hotel.
Reservations are therefore advisable.
ORSINI has a separate entrance from Waaggasse and welcomes children aged eight and over.
Savoy Brasserie & Bar
The Savoy Brasserie & Bar provides a more relaxed alternative to ORSINI.
Its menu takes inspiration from French brasserie traditions while incorporating an international approach.
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Its atmosphere is elegant without requiring the formality of a fine-dining experience.
This makes it particularly suitable for guests who want to remain within the hotel after a long day of sightseeing or business meetings.
The Brasserie also provides an attractive setting for informal business lunches.
A terrace extends the experience outdoors during favourable weather.
The bar adds another social dimension, with cocktails and drinks served within the restaurant’s contemporary surroundings.
For travellers staying several nights, the difference between ORSINI and the Brasserie provides useful flexibility.
Guests can choose a more elaborate gastronomic dinner on one evening and a simpler brasserie meal on another.
Mandarin Lounge
The Mandarin Lounge is one of the hotel’s principal social spaces.
Its atmosphere is more residential than the restaurants.
Comfortable seating, carefully selected furnishings and a fireplace create a quieter environment for meetings, coffee or afternoon drinks.
The Lounge serves light dishes, cocktails and other beverages throughout the day.
Afternoon Tea is also offered during selected months.
The current programme runs primarily from October to May.
For guests who appreciate traditional hotel lounges, Mandarin Lounge provides an opportunity to relax without leaving the property.
It can also be particularly convenient for informal meetings between appointments in the nearby financial district.
Unlike the rooftop bar, the Lounge does not depend on favourable weather.
It therefore remains an important part of the hotel experience throughout the year.
Rooftop Bar 1838
The 1838 Rooftop Bar is one of Mandarin Oriental Savoy’s most distinctive social spaces.
Its name commemorates the year in which the original Hotel Baur was founded.
The rooftop concept also has a historical connection with the property.
The original nineteenth-century hotel offered a rooftop terrace known as the Belvédère, where guests could enjoy views across Zurich.
The contemporary 1838 bar revisits this tradition in a very different setting.
The rooftop features comfortable seating, contemporary landscaping and panoramic views over the historic city.
Guests can see church towers, surrounding rooftops and distant hills.
On clear days, the wider panorama includes the Alps.
The menu combines cocktails, wines and Asian-inspired lighter dishes.
During the warmer months, the bar creates a more animated atmosphere than the hotel’s traditional lounge spaces.
It is particularly attractive for an aperitif or early evening drinks.
However, 1838 operates seasonally.
As of October 2026, the hotel announces that the rooftop bar is closed until May 2027.
Guests planning a winter stay should therefore not expect it to be open.
Wellness and Fitness
Mandarin Oriental Savoy takes a different approach to wellness from large destination spa hotels.
The property’s principal permanent wellness facility is its fitness centre.
Located on the lower level, it is accessible 24 hours a day.
The gym is equipped with Matrix fitness machines, including cardiovascular and strength-training equipment.
A Kinesis Wall provides additional training possibilities.
Guests can also arrange personal training sessions.
The hotel offers selected wellness activities, including yoga sessions.
In-room wellness treatments provide another option for guests seeking relaxation after a busy day.
These services can include massages and personalised treatments arranged through the hotel.
However, Mandarin Oriental Savoy does not advertise an extensive on-site spa complex or swimming pool.
Travellers looking specifically for a large indoor pool, thermal facilities and destination wellness should therefore consider another property.
For guests whose priorities are central location, gastronomy, shopping and a refined urban stay, the available fitness and treatment services may be sufficient.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy for Families
Despite its position in Zurich’s financial and shopping district, Mandarin Oriental Savoy is well suited to family travel.
Connecting rooms and larger suite configurations provide considerable flexibility.
The Two-Bedroom Junior Family Suite measures approximately 76 square metres and accommodates up to four guests.
The Two-Bedroom Family Suite offers approximately 99 square metres.
Its configuration combines a Corner Suite with Balcony and a Junior Terrace Suite, allowing families to enjoy additional living space and views over Paradeplatz.
The Two-Bedroom Münsterhof Suite also provides approximately 99 square metres, with views towards the historic Old Town.
For larger families, the hotel’s multi-bedroom suites offer even greater flexibility.
The Six Bedroom Royal Suite can accommodate up to 13 guests.
Family amenities and children’s dining options can be arranged.
The hotel also offers a dedicated Families by M.O. programme with selected family benefits and activities.
Its central location is particularly useful for families who want to explore Zurich without spending much of the day travelling between attractions.
The Old Town, lakefront and several museums are within relatively easy reach.
Business Travel on Paradeplatz
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is particularly well positioned for international business travellers.
Paradeplatz is one of Zurich’s principal financial centres.
Major banks, investment firms and professional service businesses operate throughout the surrounding district.
For travellers attending meetings in this area, the hotel’s location can substantially simplify daily logistics.
Many appointments can be reached on foot.
Larger suites provide additional space for working privately.
The Presidential Suite includes a dedicated office, while other residential configurations incorporate separate living and dining areas.
These features are especially useful for executives combining several days of meetings with private hospitality.
The hotel’s concierge can assist with reservations, local arrangements and transportation.
For travellers whose appointments extend beyond central Zurich, private chauffeur services provide another option for maintaining a flexible schedule.
Historic Ballroom and Private Events
Mandarin Oriental Savoy also has an important role as a venue for private and corporate events.
The extensive renovation restored several historically significant spaces.
The Ballsaal is the hotel’s grand ballroom.
With decorative stucco, mirrors and high ceilings, it retains the atmosphere of a traditional European grand hotel.
The ballroom can accommodate up to approximately 160 guests depending on the event format.
This makes it suitable for receptions, private celebrations and corporate events.
The hotel also retains a protected historic guild room known as the Zunftzimmer.
Its mahogany panelling and traditional architectural details create a setting very different from a modern conference room.
The room reflects Zurich’s historical guild culture and provides an intimate venue for smaller gatherings.
Additional salons and meeting spaces accommodate different group sizes.
For companies organising executive meetings or private events, the combination of contemporary hotel services and historic event rooms is a particular advantage.
Luxury Shopping on Bahnhofstrasse
One of the most practical reasons to choose Mandarin Oriental Savoy is its proximity to Bahnhofstrasse.
The boulevard is one of Switzerland’s best-known shopping streets.
It connects Zurich’s main railway station with the lake and includes international fashion brands, Swiss watchmakers, jewellers and luxury boutiques.
The hotel’s position at Paradeplatz places guests directly beside the most prestigious southern section of the boulevard.
This is particularly attractive for travellers who want to combine shopping appointments with a comfortable hotel stay.
Guests can return to their room between appointments without arranging transportation across the city.
Nearby confectionery shops, including the historic Confiserie Sprüngli at Paradeplatz, add another distinctly Zurich experience.
For a full day involving several shopping districts, private transportation may be helpful.
However, visitors focusing on Bahnhofstrasse and the immediate surroundings will generally find walking more convenient.
Exploring Zurich’s Old Town
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is also an excellent starting point for discovering Zurich’s historic centre.
The streets around Münsterhof and the Fraumünster are only a short walk away.
The Fraumünster is particularly known for its historic architecture and stained-glass windows created by Marc Chagall.
Across the Limmat, the Grossmünster forms another important part of Zurich’s skyline.
Narrow streets, independent boutiques and historic buildings connect the two sides of the Old Town.
The Lindenhof offers an elevated perspective over the river and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Further east, Kunsthaus Zürich provides access to one of Switzerland’s important art collections.
The hotel’s central location allows these attractions to be combined into a flexible walking itinerary.
For travellers visiting Zurich for the first time, this ease of access is one of Mandarin Oriental Savoy’s strongest practical advantages.
Lake Zurich and Cultural Experiences
Although Mandarin Oriental Savoy is not directly on the lakefront, Lake Zurich is within convenient walking distance.
Guests can reach the promenade near Bürkliplatz and continue along the waterfront.
The lake provides a contrast with the compact streets of the historic centre.
During warmer months, cruises and private boating experiences offer opportunities to explore beyond central Zurich.
The surrounding hills and distant mountains create an attractive setting when visibility is favourable.
The hotel can assist with local activities, restaurant reservations and cultural experiences.
For travellers combining business and leisure, it is particularly easy to spend the morning attending meetings around Paradeplatz before exploring the lake or museums in the afternoon.
This flexibility makes the hotel suitable for short luxury city breaks as well as longer stays.
Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Recognition
Mandarin Oriental Savoy received Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star recognition in 2026.
This independent distinction evaluates the quality of the overall hotel experience, including service, accommodation and hospitality.
The award should not be confused with Switzerland’s official hotel-star classification.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is also classified as a five-star superior hotel in Switzerland.
The Forbes recognition is particularly notable because the property reopened under Mandarin Oriental management only in December 2023.
It reflects the hotel’s positioning as a luxury international property within one of Zurich’s most historic hotel buildings.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy was also named Gault&Millau Hotel of the Year 2025.
These distinctions support its reputation as a contemporary luxury hotel with substantial historical character.
Who Mandarin Oriental Savoy Suits
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is particularly well suited to travellers who prioritise centrality, service and contemporary luxury.
Business travellers benefit from the exceptional Paradeplatz location.
Luxury shoppers can reach Bahnhofstrasse almost immediately.
Couples may appreciate the sophisticated interiors, Michelin-starred dining and rooftop atmosphere during the summer season.
Families benefit from connecting rooms and large multi-bedroom suites.
Travellers interested in architecture and history will find additional value in the hotel’s origins dating back to 1838.
However, Mandarin Oriental Savoy is not the ideal choice for every type of stay.
Guests seeking a private landscaped park and more traditional family-run grand-hotel hospitality may prefer Baur au Lac.
Those who place greater importance on contemporary lakeside design and rooftop Japanese-Peruvian dining may prefer La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich.
For travellers who want extensive spa facilities and a resort-style setting, The Dolder Grand offers a different experience above the city.
Mandarin Oriental Savoy’s greatest strength remains its position at the intersection of historic prestige, shopping, business and contemporary international hospitality.
Private Travel to Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich
Mandarin Oriental Savoy is directly accessible by road at Poststrasse 12.
Luxury Switzerland can arrange a direct Zurich Airport private transfer to the hotel.
Travellers should generally allow approximately 20 to 30 minutes from Zurich Airport in normal conditions.
Traffic around the city centre, Paradeplatz and Bahnhofstrasse may increase the journey time.
For international arrivals carrying substantial luggage, private transportation provides a convenient connection between the airport and hotel.
Luxury Switzerland offers Mercedes-Benz luxury sedans and V-Class vehicles according to the number of passengers and luggage requirements.
For guests attending meetings across Zurich, our Zurich chauffeur service allows travel to be organised around the day’s schedule.
Travellers who require a vehicle for shopping, appointments or sightseeing can also arrange hourly chauffeur hire in Zurich.
For shorter movements around Paradeplatz and the Old Town, walking may be more convenient than using a private vehicle.
Continuing Your Journey from Zurich
Mandarin Oriental Savoy can serve as the beginning or final stop of a longer journey through Switzerland.
Zurich provides convenient connections towards central Switzerland, the Bernese Oberland and several major Alpine destinations.
Private road transfers can be arranged towards Lucerne, Interlaken, St. Moritz, Zermatt and other destinations.
Lucerne offers a historic lakeside setting within central Switzerland.
St. Moritz introduces the Engadin landscape and a very different form of Alpine luxury.
Interlaken provides access to the mountains surrounding the Jungfrau region.
For longer itineraries, a private chauffeur can collect guests directly from Mandarin Oriental Savoy at an agreed departure time.
Luggage remains in the vehicle throughout the journey, while planned stops can be incorporated where appropriate.
Travellers continuing to Zermatt should remember that the village is car-free.
Ordinary private vehicles must stop at Täsch, with the final connection arranged separately.
