The Lasting Influence of the World’s Top Hotel School
"Baur au Lac is truly exceptional due to its remarkable legacy. Since its foundation in 1844, it has been managed by the Kracht family – over seven generations. Our distinctiveness also lies in our unparalleled location within our private park, at a remove from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by lush greenery and wrapped in panoramic views of the Swiss Alps and Lake Zurich.Another pivotal feature of our hotel is our unwavering commitment to investing in our properties. Year after year, we allocate resources to renovations and modernizations. With a focus on striking a balance between preserving our tradition and embracing innovation, this dedication is reflected in the harmonious blend of historical charm and modern splendor.Beyond technical know-how, the most valuable lesson I took from EHL was the opportunity to work and study with people from different backgrounds. In the hospitality industry, where relationships are paramount, the international environment at EHL equipped me to navigate this crucial aspect with ease. It fostered meaningful friendships and an enhanced understanding of our diverse clientele, enabling us to better serve our global guests." - Le Guide MICHELIN
