Zurich's Baur au Lac Re-opens Outdoor Terrace for Summer
Ideal for sipping a Bellini before dinner at the hotel's Pavillon restaurant, or for a light meal - such as chilled gazpacho or smoked Scottish salmon with creamy horseradish - while people-watching and enjoying views of the adjacent Lake Zurich, the Rive Gauche Terrasse is the "living room of Zurich" where the city's 'it' crowd meets and mingles.

In late May, the Rive Gauche Terrasse will launch a special barbecue menu, with top-quality meats and Swiss specialties grilled outdoors.

Voted 'Top Hotel in Zurich' in Condé Nast Traveler's 2011 Gold List, the 120-room hotel is a short walk from Zurich's world-famous Bahnhofstrasse, the central Paradeplatz, Lake Zurich and the city's bustling financial district. The hotel, which dates back to 1844, recently completed an approximately $41 million renovation, revamping its Pavillon and Rive Gauche Terrasse restaurants as well as various rooms and suites. It is also home to Rive Gauche restaurant, a local hot spot.
