At a glance
Stood gracefully on the shores of Lake Zurich, just moments from the Zurich Opera House, La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich is a refined city retreat where heritage, design and lakeside serenity come together. First opened over a century ago, this iconic hotel has been thoughtfully reimagined by Philippe Starck, who brings a subtle sense of artistic rebellion to its grand bones.
With just 37 rooms and suites, the hotel offers an intimate and quietly luxurious atmosphere. Interiors feel light, intelligent and deeply considered, combining timeless materials with Starck’s signature wit and nautical references.
Many rooms enjoy views across the lake, creating a rare sense of calm in the heart of the city, while larger suites provide generous living space ideal for longer stays or family travel.
Dining is equally impressive, with a Michelin-starred restaurant that celebrates precision, creativity and exceptional ingredients, complemented by a stylish bar that invites lingering evenings by the water.
Service throughout is polished yet warm, reflecting La Réserve’s core values of excellence, authenticity and simplicity.
Perfectly positioned for culture lovers, lakeside strolls and sophisticated city living, La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich delivers an elegant hideaway where Zurich feels both vibrant and totally serene.

Accommodation
2 Bedroom Lake View Suite
Set on a corner of the fifth floor, this spacious two-bedroom suite enjoys sweeping views over Lake Zurich, the promenade and the Swiss Alps beyond. Light-filled interiors open onto private balconies with iron railings and warm wood details, echoing Philippe Starck’s yacht-club-inspired design. With a generous living area and the option to separate the second bedroom for added privacy, it’s an elegant and flexible choice for families or friends seeking refined lakeside living.
Prestige Balcony Room
Bathed in southern light, the Prestige Balcony Rooms offer front-row views over Lake Zurich, the promenade and the snow-capped Alps beyond. A private balcony invites unhurried moments watching boats glide past and people stroll beneath leafy plane trees. Inside, the king bed sits at the heart of the room, perfectly positioned to take in the scenery – creating a serene, romantic space where the lake becomes part of the experience.
Corner Room
With double exposure and an abundance of natural light, the Corner Rooms offer a peaceful balance between city and lake views, with some overlooking the water. Thoughtfully designed to feel light and harmonious, these rooms invite moments of rest and quiet contemplation—an effortlessly comfortable retreat after a day exploring Zurich.
Eden Suite
Positioned on the third floor and spanning the hotel’s south-east and south-west wings, the Eden Suites are flooded with natural light throughout the day. With multiple openings onto the outdoors – including four elegant wrought-iron balconies – the suites enjoy sweeping views over Lake Zurich, the promenade and the Alps beyond. A generous lounge faces south towards the water, creating a refined yet relaxed setting where lakeside living and timeless elegance come together beautifully.
Switzerland
Switzerland is expensive by any conceivable metric. It’s practically made of money. Switzerland famously maintained peace, stability and neutrality for much of its history. It’s probably enjoyed a longer stretch of unbroken harmony than any other country. They seem to have things figured out in Switzerland in a way no other country has come close to. What’s the point of waging wars and having political chaos?
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
