The Dolder Waldhaus Hotel is housed in a small undistinguished tower block, yet it sits perched on a wooded hillside and offers views of the gently sloping shores of Lake Zurich and the distant Swiss Alps. The medium sized lobby is appointed in a modern style, with a polished stone floor and a comfortable seating area adjoining it. The 100 large guestrooms feature pale colour schemes and stark modern furniture of the highest quality. All open onto shaded balconies with bird's-eye views of the lake and city. The "Restaurant Waldhaus" is also modern, but has a more traditional feel to it thanks to lots of clever rustic touches. It serves a range of Swiss and international dishes, and guests can dine out on the terrace, weather permitting. Overall, this property is preferred by many because of its resort-like facilities, almost completely lacking, of course, in hotels in the city centre.
