Relax and enjoy!
by german_eagle about Dolder Grand Hotel, Lobby Bar
That's my kind of place! After quite busy two days in Zurich, meeting lots of (great) people I needed a break. No better place than the lobby bar of the Dolder Grand Hotel for that. Typical Grand Hotel ambience, quiet, elegant, perfect service. I had hot chocolate (to die for) and a praliné (died and gone to heaven). Anytime again! And not more expensive than the Café Felix down in the city.
Dolderbahn funicular

Finally there is the Dolderbahn funicular, a very pleasant mode of transportation from the city up to the mid-range mountains north of Zürich. Again, it is included in the ZVV tickets. This funicular takes you up to the famous Dolder Grand Hotel (recently renovated, see my restaurant tip) and close to the public ice-rink. Hiking trails start near the top station and you can enjoy nice views over Zürich, the lake and the mountains.
The Dolder Grand Lobby Bar

Thanks to german_eagle we entered The Dolder Grand Hotel which is a 5 star hotel and belongs to the leading hotels of the world. We had tea and chocolates at the lobby bar on a winter day. As you enter the hotel the lobby bar is down the corridor to your right. The toilets are downstairs from the lobby.
The lobby bar is a very relaxed place with attentive service. The seating is very comfortable and the decoration is lovely. Please also look up at the ceiling. But what I liked best was the tea cup china. It was absolutely gorgeous.
