9.6/10 Exceptional! (395 reviews)

Spectacular place! Spent 4 nights here and every member of the staff was incredibly friendly from the front desk, concierge, front door, & drivers. I cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful hotel. This gem above the city of Zurich is a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush forest. The spa and restaurants are amazing! I highly recommend the Dolder and hope to stay here again sometime.

Do the triangle tour. It’s dicsounted you have the Swiss rail pass. After the boat you get on this Interesting train ... sit on the left as you are walking into the train. Also when you get to the top every one climbs to the top but if you take the trail passs the hotel and resteraunt you see a lot of great views.

5/5 - Excellent

Do the whole round trip -- bus to starting point, cable cars (small then large) to the top, cog railway down the other side, then boat back to Lucerne: an adventure with hiking at the top for those so inclined or just eat lunch and admire the views. Go before noon to get the clearest views of Mt. Blanc. Swiss Travel Pass holders get a major discount; otherwise, it's pricey (SF 99 for an all-inclusive ticket) but definitely worthwhile. (Wish I had known of this option beforehand.)
