The outside of this hotel and the public rooms evoke the style of the 1920s and 30s. This made the contemporary design of our large, comfortable, well appointed room such a contrast. All the staff during our 6 days were always polite, courteous and incredibly helpful. When we regretfully had to leave, we had the feeling that we had been... more

The hotel is well placed on the edge of the lake - to the left are several restaurants but we ate in the hotel in the first floor enclosed terrace. Everything is very good on the menus but, being Switzerland, very expensive. The staff were delightful. The hotel has flat access, with a lift to the first floor reception. The... more

I was warmly welcomed when I arrived at the hotel after an overnight flight and was pleasantly surprised that a room would be available for me within about 20 minutes of arriving. In fact, the front desk upgraded me to a queen sized room on the top floor with a view of the lake. The stay was delightful. The room... more

Had two nights here with beautiful weather in early September. The rooms are a good size and mine faced the lake and hills with a small balcony. Despite the very busy road between the hotel and the lake - I had no problems with noise. Wireless internet worked efficiently - as did the bathroom. The levels of cleanliness were exceptional... more

Plus: Room great size Room very clean Kerstin at Reception desk - was an absolute gem! as were all the other front office staff, but Kerstin was such a lovely person. Staff in general - some of the friendliest I have encountered. Breakfast buffet - very... more

I underwent a disastrous treatment by the hotel staff when I reported that my jewellery was missing. It was more or less black and white that one of the staff took it away from the table in my room since I'd never let anyone else in. The hotel manager determined to defend the crying cleaner saying she wouldn't do such... more

We had a nice stay in this hotel. Our room was updated, clean, and had a fantastic view of the lake and downtown Zurich. The location is a 10 minute walk along the lake to central downtown Zurich. The staff was very friendly and as helpful as you needed them to be. The breakfast buffet was more than acceptable as... more

Other reviewers have described the location of this hotel as not encouraging. There are more up-market districts in Zurich and it's not slap bang in the middle of the shopping centre. But then London's Park Lane is similar. Park Lane is also on a busy road that it shares with car dealerships. If you stay at this hotel book a... more

I stayed at Steigenberger Bellerive au Lac for one night on June 28th, 2007. The rate was 398,-- CHF (250,-- Euro), tax and breakfast included. This boutique hotel is four star rated the location direct at the lake but a ten minute walk from the city center away. A doorman is not available, help with the luggage on request. The... more
