The Dolder Grand, perched above Zurich, is a blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. It originally opened back in 1899 as a health spa for the wealthy, attracting high-profile guests like Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein. Fast forward to 2008, when the hotel underwent a major facelift by architect Sir Norman Foster, who added two sleek, modern wings to the classic building. Now, the Dolder Grand seamlessly mixes its historical roots with cutting-edge design, creating a unique spot where history meets contemporary elegance​.

One of the coolest things about the Dolder Grand is its connection to cinema, especially The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). In the film, Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara, stays at the hotel while doing some secretive business in Zurich. The hotel’s modern, glassy wings and luxurious vibe provided the perfect setting for these intense, high-stakes scenes. It’s become a bit of a must-visit for fans of the film, as well as those looking for a taste of cinematic glamour​.

Beyond its movie fame, the Dolder Grand offers a ton of high-end facilities. Its massive spa is often ranked as one of the best in Switzerland, featuring everything from Japanese sunaburo baths to panoramic meditation rooms. If you're into fine dining, their restaurant has two Michelin stars, but there’s also a more relaxed garden restaurant. Guests can unwind at the golf course, hit the tennis courts, or just take in the hotel’s art collection, which includes pieces by big names like Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol​.

When it comes to rooms, The Dolder Grand doesn't skimp on luxury. Whether you’re in a historic room in the main building or a sleek suite in the new wings, you’ll find high-end touches everywhere—think marble bathrooms, private terraces, and even saunas in some suites. Whether you're there for the views of Zurich, the world-class spa, or just to feel like a movie star, this hotel has it all​.
