Unique and elegant, the legendary hotel is reborn, after several months of an ambitious undertaking nurtured by the creativity of Philippe Starck and La Réserve’s vision of excellence.
La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich is a majestic building standing proud, serene, solid and calm like the wonderful days that have passed since it first opened on the lakeshore 100 years ago. Times are changing and Philippe Starck has come along with a subtly artistic and rebellious touch.
He has in fact deconstructed Eden au Lac to better rebuild it for tomorrow, even closer to its true nature. From the 40 rooms and suites, to the restaurant and the bar, everything has been redesigned to offer guests a refined and timeless experience, true to La Réserve’s values of excellence, authenticity and simplicity.
Rooms & Suites
DESIGNED BY PHILIPPE STARCK
The hotel offers 40 rooms and suites in eight categories, ranging from 27 sqm to 79 sqm. Located on the upper floors and overlooking the lake, the rooms were designed by Philippe Starck like onshore sailors’ cabins.
Dream of the lake and regattas, adventures, light breezes and soft light from the terraces or private balconies. Various poetic surprises are sprinkled around, designed to pique guests’ curiosity and imagination as they continue their voyage and delicious daydreaming.
These include nautical charts of the lake for experienced sailors and postcards of yachts for pleasure boaters on vacations. Like the hotel, its rooms and suites reflect a quest for a structurally elegant and modern bare minimum.
Natural, soft, clear colors for simplicity and comfort, solid brick and delicate rattan walls for warmth and privacy. Interior doors in the corridors enable a wing of the hotel to be completely privatized and thus to combine various suites and rooms of different categories.
The sports studio, reserved for the hotel’s residents, is a precious, intimate, yet sophisticated setting, featuring red wood, mirrors and blown glass. State-of-the-art facilities await sporty guests looking to enjoy a moment of relaxation and well-being.
Eden Suite
On the third floor, the two Eden Suites occupy the south-east and south-west wings. With five openings to the outside, including four charming ironwork balconies, they are bathed in light at all hours of the day.
The vast lounge area overlooks the lake on the south side and allows you to admire the boats and the Alps in the distance.
RESTAURANT & BARS
Contemporary, elegant cuisine in unique, welcoming and stimulating settings
A bar restaurant adjoining the lobby, a smoking lounge with a treasure cellar and a rooftop restaurant… La Réserve Eden au Lac is changing the culinary scene in Zurich.
Exclusivity merges with a cuisine meant for sharing, as refinement blends with informality to invent a new way of enjoying life more intensely than ever.
This means no more fixed schedules, with service provided all day long from 11:30 am to midnight, at the bar as well as in the restaurants: Eden Kitchen & Bar on the ground floor and La Muña on the rooftop.
Eden Kitchen & Bar
A menu inspired by culinary traditions from all over the world
On the ground floor, with its large bay windows opening onto the outside, Eden Kitchen & Bar promises to be an essential meeting point in Zurich. Light plays on the natural leather sofas and tables, gently tinted by the multicolored stained-glass window created by the artist Ara Starck.
Light-colored floors, red wood and boat oars and hulls are just some of the design cues that create a warm and relaxed atmosphere and serve as reminders of the hotel’s attachment to the lake.
The large open kitchen stages a non-stop show, in which everyone can admire the expert touch and creativity of the teams headed by Italian chef Marco Ortolani, veteran of prestigious restaurants in Italy and London, not to mention experience gained in Argentina and Hong Kong.
This wealth of cosmopolitan influences is apparent in the menu, with dishes inspired by culinary traditions from all over the world: Burrata, forgotten vegetables, basil; quinoa, pomegranate, avocado, chimichurri; macaroni, truffle, ham, Gruyère cheese; salmon with a yuzu teriyaki marinade; and exceptional grilled Swiss meat.
Nor are the establishment’s local roots forgotten, Zurich-style sauté veal and potato rösti is a tribute to the city. Elegant and varied, the wine list reflects vineyards from all over the world, including great appellations from Switzerland and France, with a special place for the Michel Reybier estates.
La Muña
A chill-out atmosphere prevails beneath the huge parasols
Perched on the sixth floor and accessible directly via the glass elevator in the lobby, La Muña overlooks the city from its tree-lined roof terrace.
La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich’s second restaurant is a treasure chest, mingling imaginary memories of moments spent on the lake with extraordinary objects found in the city and around the world. La Muña offers a unique 360° view of the historic center, with the lake and the Alps in the distance.
The restaurant is organized into two areas. Inside, it has taken over the former attic beneath the hotel’s spectacular dome. Continuing the spirit of a minimalist and respectful renovation, Philippe Starck has sought to enhance the existing structural elements.
The monumental framework is magnificently highlighted, with the original brick walls and wooden floors once again on show.
The furniture also looks as if it has always been here, in this imaginary “harbor-master’s office”: with comfortable light-colored leather or slightly old-fashioned floral fabric upholstery, and rugs picked up during trips to Persia and Asia.
Wherever the eye may roam, fertile surprises and mysteries intrigue and extend a permanent invitation to travel. In the dovecote, stained-glass windows created by Ara Starck accompany and guide the light through the dome.
Like a multifaceted tale, these stained-glass windows tell a different story throughout the day, for a magical and always unique experience. Two outdoor terraces are accessible, one of which can be entirely privatized.
Whether on a sofa or at a table, under the huge parasols, guests can enjoy a relaxed and festive atmosphere while sharing the Japanese Peruvian specialties of chef Domenico Zizzi, whose inventive and delicate cuisine has already delighted connoisseurs worldwide.
Ultra-fresh and bursting with flavor, La Muña’s cuisine combines different textures, raw and marinated elements, acidity and sweetness – based on carefully sourced ingredients, including some rarely found in Europe – expressed through sophisticated, freshly prepared delicacies designed for sharing in a convivial atmosphere.
Each table can select Crudo or Caliente dishes, in which ceviches flavored with spices and fresh herbs rub shoulders with beef steak teriyaki with truffle sauce, or sashimi served alongside wakame seriole with ponzu sauce for an amazing delicious gourmet journey.
A magical Peruvian plant, muña has always been used to relieve altitude-related ailments. The name of the restaurant is a tribute to the chef’s culinary inspirations as well as a nod to the unique view from the terraces, across the open kitchen in the foreground, the lake and the city of Zurich in the background.
Fitness room
EQUIPMENT: INDOOR BIKE, KINESIS® STATION, TREADMILL, FREE WEIGHTS, GYM MATS
To complement your jogging on the shore of the lake or your vigorous swimming, or simply to ensure your relaxing sports break, regardless of the season or time of day, the fitness room offers you the latest gym equipment.

Eden Cigar Lounge
LOUNGE RESERVED FOR PEOPLE OVER 18 YEARS OF AGE.
The Eden Cigar Lounge – adjoining the bar area – reserved for fans of vitolas and smoke curls, where guests can enjoy a wide international selection of cigars while enjoying a whisky or a cognac.
Comfortably installed in these surroundings – designed by Philippe Starck – emulating the amber colors of the bottles, whether lost in your thoughts or enjoying your favorite program on the big screen, this moment is all yours.
THE LOCATION
Zurich & the region
Unanimously recognized as a major international finance center, Zurich is also celebrated for its quality of life. It regularly tops the list of the world’s most pleasant cities.
Safe, reliable, punctual, clean, organized and environmentally friendly, Zurich ticks all the boxes of a dynamic and welcoming modern city, yet reserves its more secret and surprising facets for curious visitors.
Zurich’s rich cultural life proves that there is life after banking… The Dada movement was born in Zurich and authors Hermann Hesse and Tristan Tzara lived here at the very beginning of the 20th century.
Zurich’s residents are passionate about art and more than 1,300 works are installed in public spaces, with such famous names as Max Bill, Augusto Giacometti, Nikki de Saint-Phalle and Jean Tinguely.
