Property Overview

Unique and elegant, the legendary hotel is reborn, after several months of an ambitious undertaking nurtured by the creativity of Philippe Starck and La Réserve’s vision of excellence. La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich is a majestic building standing proud, serene, solid, and calm like the wonderful days that have passed since it first opened on the lakeshore 100 years ago. Times are changing, and Philippe Starck has come along with a subtly artistic and rebellious touch. A bar restaurant adjoining the lobby, a smoking lounge with a treasure cellar, and a rooftop restaurant … La Réserve Eden au Lac is changing the culinary scene in Zurich. Exclusivity merges with a cuisine meant for sharing, as refinement blends with informality to invent a new way of enjoying life more intensely than ever. This means no more fixed schedules, with service provided all day long from eleven-thirty in the morning until midnight, at the bar as well as in the restaurants: Eden Kitchen & Bar on the ground floor and La Muña on the rooftop.

Agent Tips

  • To get a taste of Zurich’s culinary heritage, try “Züri Gschnätzlets,” tenderly sliced veal served with mushrooms in a creamy sauce of white wine and veal stock, with a side of potato rösti. First mentioned in a cookbook in 1947, the dish now graces the menu of pretty much every home-style restaurant.
  • The absolute highlight of late summer is the Zurich Film Festival. For around ten days, the city is packed with national and international film stars that you might even just get to meet if you’re lucky – especially at La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich, the event’s official partner hotel.
Accommodations

Dream of the lake.

The hotel offers forty rooms and suites in eight categories. Located on the upper floors and overlooking the lake, the rooms were designed by Philippe Starck like onshore sailors’ cabins. Dream of the lake and regattas, adventures, light breezes, and soft light from the terraces or private balconies. Various poetic surprises are sprinkled about, designed to pique your curiosity and imagination as you continue your voyage and delicious daydreaming. These include nautical charts of the lake for experienced sailors and postcards of yachts for pleasure boaters on vacations.
Pool + Gym

The latest in workout gear, and beyond.

To complement your jogging on the shore of the lake or your vigorous swimming, the in-house fitness room offers you the latest gym equipment. In addition, thanks to a cooperation with the Fitnesspark Stadelhofen, you can experience an array of fitness classrooms, an expansive fitness area, and a wellness area within five minutes of the hotel. All facilities are free of charge for hotel guests.
Restaurant + Bar

An open kitchen as non-stop culinary show.

On the ground floor, with its large bay windows opening onto the outside, Eden Kitchen & Bar is an essential meeting point in Zurich. Light plays on the natural leather sofas and tables, gently tinted by the multicolored stained-glass window created by the artist Ara Starck. Light-colored floors, red wood, and boat oars and hulls are just some of the design cues that create a warm and relaxed atmosphere and serve as reminders of the hotel’s attachment to the lake. The large open kitchen stages a non-stop show, in which everyone can admire the expert touch and creativity of the teams headed by Italian chef Marco Ortolani, veteran of prestigious restaurants in Italy and London, not to mention experience gained in Argentina and Hong Kong.

Perched on the sixth floor and accessible directly via the glass elevator in the lobby, La Muña overlooks the city from its tree-lined roof terrace. La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich’s second restaurant is a treasure chest, mingling imaginary memories of moments spent on the lake with extraordinary objects found in the city and around the world. La Muña offers a unique 360° view of the historic center, with the lake and the Alps in the distance.

Eden’s cocktail menu is characterized by an elegant, minimalistic approach: classic cocktails reimagined but still with a touch of modernism, served with in-house-crafted components. Whether a classic or an innovative signature cocktail or a glass of rosé from the Château La Mascaronne estate in Provence, nowhere can the aperitif be enjoyed in more style than in the Eden Bar. Culinary delights are also provided.

Whether you’re looking to unwind after a busy day, celebrate a special occasion, or simply enjoy a drink, the Eden Bar is the “new place to be” in Zurich. The evening is accompanied by “Three Angels for La Réserve Zurich” at the DJ booth. Every evening from six to ten, from electronic sets to upbeat feel-music to tech house, enjoy all the styles.
