"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) In David Fincher’s adaptation of the Swedish blockbuster novel, leather-clad savant Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) is an unlikely guest at this hilltop fairytale castle of a hotel. Built in 1899 as a woodland retreat, it was extended over the decades until a rebuilding project in 2004 twinned the turrets with a super-modern glass-fronted circular annex. Lisbeth was in the top-end Masina Suite, which comes with butler service and a very fine view of Lake Zurich."
"Originally opened as a kurhaus in 1899 and dramatically reimagined with contemporary wings by Norman Foster in 2008, this landmark lakeside resort pairs historic, traditionally decorated rooms in the main building with ultra-modern marble-clad rooms in the new wing. The hotel is noted for an impressive permanent art collection and a Michelin two-starred restaurant where creative dishes pair game and alpine ingredients with refined desserts. The large wellness offering—about 43,000 sq ft—echoes its health-resort origins with a gym, mind-and-body studio, 17 treatment rooms, a center for medical procedures, diverse thermal experiences (saunas, steam baths, aroma pools), kotatsu footbaths and heated pebble beds designed to soothe and restore." - Adam H.

"The Dolder Grand, a majestic castle hotel perched atop Adlisberg Hill, adorned with more than 100 works of art." - Taryn White
"Perched above Lake Zurich, recommended for a stay after visiting the Lindt Home of Chocolate." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"While the views of the Alps and Lake Zurich may be the first thing to put The Dolder Grand on your radar, this spa hotel has an art collection dotted with names like Salvador Dali, Keith Haring, Takashi Murakami, Joan Miro, and even Sylvester Stallone. Curated by Zurich-based Galerie Gmurzynska, the collection includes a digital art guide where guests can dive deeper into the background of each piece." - Yulia Denisyuk
