Johannes Baur was always ahead of his time. The fabled hotel entrepreneur was already at pains to combine superlative style and consummate comfort with cutting-edge technology 170 years ago. Today, extensive renovation and modernization of all rooms, suites and public spaces upholds the time-honored tradition of progress at the Savoy Baur en Ville. Superb cuisine and courteous service have won the esteem of both locals and genuine globetrotters for the Restaurant Baur – a privileged location at the heart of Zurich's financial district. Ristorante Orsini, with its powerfully evocative Tuscan flair, ranks as one of the city's «best Italians». At lunchtime and in the evenings, the Savoy BAR en Ville becomes the beating heart of Zurich's business community. Tasteful rooms provide a discrete setting for business meetings or private gatherings, while the newly revamped banquet hall is the ideal venue for conferences or festive occasions.
