Mandarin Oriental to Rebrand Historic Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland

Mandarin Oriental has signed a deal to manage and rebrand the historic Savoy Baur en Ville hotel in Zurich, Switzerland from 2024.

The hotel, which first opened in 1838, is a landmark property on Paradeplatz, the main square in the city centre. It is located in the heart of the old town, within the main business centre, close to the city’s leisure attractions and a short walk from the shores of Lake Zurich.

The hotel is currently managed by Credit Suisse. In 2022, the hotel will close and undergo a comprehensive two-year renovation to reposition the property as one of the very best in the city. Upon completion of the renovation in 2024, the property will be rebranded as the Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich.

The hotel will have 80 guestrooms and suites and three dining outlets, comprising an all-day dining venue, a speciality restaurant and a lobby lounge. A state-of-the-art fitness centre will also be installed.

The property is ideally placed for meetings and gatherings, and the renovation will enhance conference and event facilities, including a grand historic ballroom.

The French interior designer, Tristan Auer, Paris has been chosen to oversee the full design.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring Mandarin Oriental to this important European destination and to rebrand a well-established landmark,” said James Riley, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. “This is a strategic city for the Group, which consolidates and complements our regional presence in central Europe, including upcoming projects in Vienna and Lucerne.”
