A 43,000 square foot, Foster + Partners designed temple of zen calmness, a trip to this stunning spa will leave you so outrageously relaxed you might just have to check into the hotel. The focal point is an enormous Japanese-style aqua-zone, stroll between the inviting Bisazza tiled swimming pool, outdoor whirlpool bath, pebble loungers, Kotatsu footbath, sauna and varied steam rooms then head along the rough-hewn limestone passage to indulge in some serious pampering.

Built as part of the Dolder Grand’s recent refurbishment all treatment rooms are large and extremely high spec. The assembled team of beauticians and therapists are the best that the city has and the range of treatments is comprehensive and inventive. Also on offer are the En Vogue hairdressing salon and so-called ‘Medical Wellness’ treatments; so it’s massage, Botox and Eco Chic Spirulina body wraps all round!
