Zurich's Dolder Grand Hotel Offers Expressionist Art Package
Discover one of the art movements of the 20th Century with the Zurich and Art package at the Dolder Grand. Perfect for a quick getaway, the two-night travel package charms art aficionados with accommodations at the Dolder Grand as well as tickets to "From Matisse to the Blue Rider" exhibition at Kunsthaus Zurich, which houses one of the most important art collections in Switzerland and Europe, especially in Contemporary Art.

Presented in cooperation with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Musée des Beaux-Arts in Montreal, "From Matisse to the Blue Rider" reveals Expressionism in its true light, highlighting it as not solely a national movement, but one shaped by the spirit of cosmopolitanism and productive exchange. Along with over 100 masterpieces of Classical Modernism and German Expressionism by more than three-dozen artists including Paul Gauguin, Kees van Dongen, Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, the exhibition presents findings of recent research into a reception hitherto little studied by scholars.

Zurich and Art at The Dolder Grand includes:

• 2 nights including Garden Breakfast
• 3-course dinner in the Garden Restaurant (beverages excluded)
• 1 after-dinner drink in The Bar per person
• 1 ticket per person for "From Matisse to the Blue Rider" exhibition at Kunsthaus Zurich
• Use of the 40,000-square foot Dolder Grand Spa

The Dolder Grand has a history of opening eyes to art in Zurich since completion of its renovation and conversion by Foster and Partners in 2008. Last spring, the hotel began offering a complimentary iPad to guests for use of their new art app to guide guests through its own onsite collection. Given the size and scope of the art collection held by the Dolder Grand, the specially designed app now documents 124 artworks by 90 artists. Users can sort the list by work or location, discover interesting back stories about the artists, and access a map showing the positions of the works including an Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí and Camille Pissarro to name a few.

The package is valid until May 11, 2014 and rates start at $1,685 (1,500 CHF) based on double occupancy. For more information please visit www.thedoldergrand.com.
