La Réserve Eden au Lac brings a yacht-club mood to a historic building right on the lake promenade, with interiors by Philippe Starck and a rooftop restaurant overlooking the water.

Small and stylish, for travelers who want the lake at the door.

Where you’ll be

The hotel sits on Utoquai, the lakefront promenade on the eastern shore, a short walk from the Opera House and the Old Town. Boats and swimming spots on Lake Zurich are right outside.

The stay

Rooms are designed like the cabins of a classic yacht, with warm wood and nautical touches, many facing the lake. The rooftop restaurant is a highlight for dinner with a view.
