Mandarin Oriental Savoy (formerly known as Baur en Ville and Savoy Baur en Ville) is the oldest Grand Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland. Founded in 1838 by Johannes Baur it is located on Poststrasse on the Eastern side of Paradeplatz.[1] It has hosted many internationally acclaimed visitors such as Franz Liszt, General Dufour and former U.S. president Bill Clinton.
For many decades the hotel was owned by Credit Suisse.[2][3] In 2022, the hotel was temporarily closed, in order to start renovations. In October of 2022, Credit Suisse announced that they want to sell the property. Due to the Acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS, UBS took ownership of the hotel in March of 2023. It has officially reopened in December of 2023.[4][5] It is currently managed by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and offers 44 rooms and 36 suites, Savoy Brasserie & Bar (French inspired), 1838 (rooftop), a ballroom, a historic guild room as well as the 2-star gourmet restaurant Orsini which is led by Italian chef Antonio Guida.
