Crowne Plaza

Fodor's Review:

This plush hotel is set in a prime location overlooking Victoria Square and the river. The luxurious, contemporary rooms are decorated in tones of burgundy and gold. In summer the best views are from rooms overlooking Victoria Square, but in the winter popularity switches to those with views of the snowcapped Alps to the west. The hotel is especially well equipped with restaurants and bars, including Yamagen, a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. A pianist plays in the glass-roof atrium -- the heart of this hotel -- at lunch or in the evening. Breakfasts are definitely worth getting out of bed for.

  • Hotel Details: 298 rooms
  • In-hotel: 3 restaurants, bars, gym, bicycles.
