Option 1: Bürgenstock Resort: It´s perfectly on the way and I find the setting interesting. Nevertheless I see the mixed reviews and I fear it´s full of posers and dayguests. Nevertheless it seems most things you find are from the Palace or Waldhotel, Bürgenstock Hotel is not the place the bloggers stay. I would only stay 1 night as I think you got it after it. As the Bay Suite is the same as the Double room (only view) I would go with the "cheapest".
Option 2: Dolder Grand: Not directly on the way but only a minor detour. Not in the city but good SPA and views. Would ask for suite in the old building as they seem to be bigger. Would most likely stay 2 nights. The Restaurant is closed what´s a down for me.
Option 3: Baur au Lac. Love the location and their 2 star is open but no SPA. It lacks a little the relaxing factor for me.
Any thoughts?
I have stayed twice in the Park Hyatt Zurich since the pandemic started and found that the level of service has stayed very high - they have an amazing team. The property looks a bit bland from the outside, but you get a different feeling when actually staying in the hotel. They offer massages AFAIK, but there is no Spa. Great location.
If SPA is important to you, then probably Dolder Grand would be the better choice.
Other than that, you also have the Chedi Andermatt and Kempinski Engelberg on your way if you would rather spend that time in nature than the city. I have no experience with the Kempinski as it’s brand-new (opened last month), but just an idea.
