Personal touch and elegance

Step through the revolving door of the Savoy Baur Hotel in Zurich and you leave behind the excitement and bustle of Zurich’s most famous shopping street to enter the quiet and luxurious refinement of the city’s first ever full-service hotel.

Guests at the Zurich’s Savoy Baur Hotel can count on an extended hand and a warm smile from the husband and wife team of Manfred and Christina Hoerger, who run the hotel. A commitment to personally greeting each guest is one of the many values important to Manfred Hoerger in keeping with Swiss tradition. “I meet all the guests who come through our door. It is important for me to know each guest because it is important for them to know where to come if they have any problem during their stay,” he says.

Located in the center of town on the Banhofstrasse, the hotel sits between Switzerland’s leading banks and its finest shopping establishments. The Savoy receives visitors, mostly business travelers, from all corners of the world. Hoerger is quick to emphasize the high level security the hotel offers its guests.

The staff is well trained to respect privacy, offer discreet service and tight security for the many business executives and visitors who stay at the Savoy. With over 200 staff servicing this 102-room hotel, he is committed to making sure each guest receives excellent service.

For the business traveler, the Savoy offers conference rooms, elegant boardrooms, and a wireless LAN system. The hotel has developed a reputation as a prime location among Zurich’s elite for hosting general assemblies, analyst meetings and luncheons.

Many locals and guests also enjoy hosting a business meeting over lunch at the Savoy restaurant. Hoerger describes the restaurant as a place “where business meets pleasure.” It serves delicious French cuisine and Swiss specialties. The hotel also offers another choice for dining at the Restaurant Orsini, which serves northern Italian cuisine. After the meal, the Savoy Bar is a classic place for a nightcap before heading back to your room.

The hotel has eight suites and eight junior suites, in addition to its single and double rooms. The European furnishings and design provide surroundings of Swiss elegance. Boasting the finest location in the city and an elegant and private atmosphere, the Savoy Baur En Ville is the premier place to stay while visiting Zurich for business or pleasure.
