Park Hyatt Zurich
The wide-open spaces of Zürich’s first American-style luxury hotel play out elegantly a few blocks from both the lake and city center. Buttercream neutrals are accented in black marble, rich maple, and lots of gleaming glass, as well as a 90-strong chunk of the Hyatt art collection. Glimpse up at Sol le Witt’s rainbow-colored mural in the lobby, painted to the same surface area as a standard Park Hyatt double, to see why rooms feel so spacious. All room categories are comfortable, featuring parquet floors with soft carpets, Italian-made beige furnishings with earthy green accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows with fresh-air panels onto a surprising amount of greenery. Bathrooms are so huge and luxurious—with deep baths, rain showers, and Le Labo toiletries—you'll want to take one home with you. . . . Actually, you might not want to go home at all. The restaurant is excellent; the lobby lounge with its low-slung sofas and all-day menu hums with comings-and-goings (and serves a mouthwatering afternoon tea of handmade pastries); and the bar, where businesspeople collect for after-work drinks, is styled in rare pale onyx and does its own gin.
